| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 13, 2005 RBSG 2005. Golden yellow, with a small white head. Big hoppy aroma with vague but strong citrus and muted resin. Flavour is an explosion of grapefruit which I love but also pulls in a bit too much of the less pleasant aspects, like drinking grapefruit juice. Not even close to balanced. Wow. Average palate. Need to try this one again. OKBeer (1159), Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jun 12, 2005 On tap at the brewery. Solid amber coloring with a diminishing white head. This has the best hop character and mouthfeel of any regular IPA I’ve ever had - very fruity and extremely bitter that makes for a great finish. The weather here sucks, but this made my trip to the Seattle area totally worth it.
