| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 25, 2009 22oz bottle. Copper with a lasting off-white head. Lemon zest, grapefruit, green dankness, and light pine aroma. The flavor has light caramel, orange, grapefruit and plant flavors. Finishes medium bitter with some candied citrus and a drying feel. medium bodied with higher carbonation. A nice IPA. I like the hop flavor, though the mouthfeel holds it back a little. CH47 (5), Kansas, USA does not count | 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 25, 2009 Fresh pine, Rasiney, Citrusy, granola nose with small hints of malt showing through. The appearance is a redish burnt orange hue. The flavor and palate is quite balanced so much so that im having a hard time discerning the different flavors coming through but still the typical pine and raisny tangerine grapefruit resins with a solid malt backbone following through that I expect in any decent IPA of this region. Overall a properly hopped and malted IPA that leaves me looking for the next. Cletus (5055), Connecticut, USA
