| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 23, 2007 Appearance: Pours a clear, bright carnet body with a small, off-white head.
Smell: Light, sweet-smelling tropical fruits with a touch of grassiness.
Taste: Taste heads straight towards bitterness, with flavors of grapefruit and citrus. Faintly grassy. The meager amount of caramel sweetness is obscured by the bitterness. Odd, twangy soapy finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Moderate carbonation.
Drinkability: This one didn’t really do it for me. Tmoney99 (4795), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 21, 2007 Bottle. Pours dark copper color with a rapidly diminishing beige colored head. Aroma is mostly malt and some citrus notes. Flavor is predominantly caramel malts, with a hint of citrus and pine. Palate is medium bodied, with a prickly carbonation, finishes on the bitter side. All in all not a very good IPA, more like a APA at best. mhelgason (495), Charlotte, North Carolina, USA
