| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 27, 2009 Caramel colored with an off white head. Aroma could be bigger and has caramel, pine, and some roasted malt. Flavor is caramel, fruit, grapefruit, and pine. It is balanced toward the sweet side. Feel is a bit powdery but otherwise is medium bodied. Finish is floral. Very nice! hopeye101 (39), Draughthouse, Texas, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 27, 2009 Good Assertive IPA. Spicy Earthy hops, really not my favorite, though. Good malt backbone trapez (791), Hilleroed, Denmark
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 27, 2009 Bottle. Stong hops, grains and soil aroma. Dark amber colour with huge beige head. Bitter hops flavour although with fine notes of oats, raisins and nuts which adds to the dry aftertaste. bigrond (1044), factoryville, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Mar 26, 2009 This beer loses points for being in a 11.5 oz bottle. WHat gives?? It was an interesting blend between what tasted like Fuggle hops and cascade(?), but thats just a guess. It had the maltiness of an English IPA and lacked the bite of an American IPA. This beer is searching for an identity. DeputyAndy (69), New Jersey, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 24, 2009 Nice dark honey pour with a creamy, coffee head. Very hoppy, sweet nose. Nice hoppy first taste with a surprisingly sweet, almost syrupy aftertaste. Prickly mouthfeel with a short, sweet-then-bitter aftertaste. Nice take on an IPA. scrizzz (1265), kirkland, Washington, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 23, 2009 Toffee colored, sticky head. Caramel & earthy hops. Little metallic, older bottle and more malt forward now. jzzbassman (842), New Albany, Mississippi, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 22, 2009 Bottle: Orange with a lot of lace. Aroma is really citric and cedar wood. Very earthy with an almost sour bitterness that finishes sharply....mouth puckering. Mdgutows (42), Charlotte, North Carolina, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 19, 2009 Pours a slightly hazy orange brown with an inch of off-white head. Has strong citrus and spicy hops aroma. Lots of sweet malts coming through as well. I also smell other fruits like green grapes. Taste is an excellent balance of sweet flavors underneath plenty of bitter and spicy hop flavor. Light citrus, apple, and caramel flavors are also present. Medium-light bodied and medium carbonation. The finish is quite grassy a spicy. This is an excellent twist on an I.P.A. Delicious.
