| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 2, 2007 Thanks for sharing a bottle, Duane. The body was dark copper with a khaki colored head on top. The aroma was typical grapefruit with some nice caramel backing that up. The taste had some toasted almonds with fairly dry oat cereal. The hops were dominated by the malts in the taste. This still finished a little too dry for my tastes. rmussman (905), California, USA

A solid IPA that if worth a try if you can find it, which will be at BevMo i assume. HopheadHans (755), Bay Area, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 27, 2007 Tap at Barclays. Pours with a surprisingly dark color, copper. Aromas are very piney, with some grapefruit.
Flavors of resin and pine, very little floral hops flavors, but mainly bitter lemon and grapefruit. However it is balanced by some maltiness. Quite good. MrBendo (1043), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 12, 2007 Thanks to Naven for the bomber. Clear copper color with a medium head. Medium lacing. Aroma of pine, resin and grass. Very aromatic. Taste is very balanced, with sweet caramel malts stepping up against the bitterness of the American hops, but never quite making the beer sweet. Light to medium body. Nice, bitter finish. Heavenly. glkaiser (1171), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 9, 2007 Slightly cloudy copper with medium head. Very balanced, but inviting IPA. The finish is a bit too bitter and soapy, but overall I dig this one. A bit dry. waolsen (1223), Littleton, Colorado, USA
