| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 22, 2009 Pours a clearish orange with a white head that becomes a thick ring and a thin film after about five minutes. Good lacing though. Aroma of hops: Slightly piney, and citrusy, but mostly kittly-littery-ish, but in a good way. Flavor is well balanced between malt and hops, and finishes nice. Solid IPA all around, don’t let the kitty litter discourage ya. :) hanihotdog (14), blah, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 20, 2009 a very nice IPA.. If you try a bottle, i suggest pouring down the middle for a perfect head. nice floral hoppy aroma. pours a beautiful light copper color. I can taste (and smell) a hint of coffee underneath the citrus and hops... that is very unique for an ipa... The ibu’s are not overpowering, and there is tons of flavor. I can see why this beer is so popular! DrMisfatsuBrew (10), New York, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 20, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Strong and balanced IPA. The hops aren’t my favorite, a little dry and strong. Not nearly as raunchy as 120 minute. mrbirmingham (37), Kansas, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Apr 20, 2009 ABV 6.0%, 60 IBUs, Bottled On 11/07/08, drank on 4/20/09
Aroma: Surprising light, floral and citrus aroma. I suspect the beer’s hops have faded. This might be another case of an old beer.
Appearance: The beers pours, clear, copper with tall whit head that persists.
Flavor: Well balanced between the malts and hops. Not enough hops for an American IPA.
Mouth feel: Smooth medium bodied beer that tingle the tip and sides of the tongue.
Overall Impression: I very good beer, but it doesn’t taste like an IPA nor a beer of 60 IBU. I still enjoyed drinking it and they are going down easy…

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Apr 18, 2009 Bottle, bought @ Cracked Kettle, Amsterdam.
Pours slightly darkish golden with a great, creamy, off-white head. Aroma has lots of hops, and in a well-balanced mix, even. Pine, grapefruit, grass, ashy and very floral. Some caramel and bready malts in the background. Medium carbonation, not that impressive, slightly watery mouthfeel. Flavour is nice, lots of fruity and piney hops with a slight dryness and bitterness in the finish. A very nice IPA, but in the 94th percentile of its style, it probably ain’t. ericandersnavy (1139), crossroads, Texas, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 15, 2009 bottle from a kroger in denton tx. poured a gold color with a white head. aroma of caramel, some pine, floral, cut grass, fruity, sweet. flavor of floral hops, grass, slight pine, and. body was light and high carboantion. i agree with donovan1983 its not bad, but IMO a little overrated. thats just my 2 cents though. donovan1983 (54), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Apr 15, 2009 Pours a pale copper colour with almost no head. Aroma is of a sweet malt with floral notes. Flavour is rather sweet, almost sugary, with a pronounced citrus taste. Strangely there are some very slight coffee notes in both the aroma and flavour. There’s some bite from the hops but they are a bit less pronounced than I would expect from an IPA. Somewhat astringent but a bit too sweet of an aftertaste that I didn’t care for. Medium body with about the right amount of carbonation. Really, it’s not a bad beer at all but it sure is way overrated and overpriced. This stuff gets hyped a lot and I really was expecting more. A lot more. This is more of an American pale ale than an IPA, although it’d be on the maltier side of even American pale ales. I will have no problem finishing the 6-pack I bought but certainly won’t be buying more. mjs (1542), Helsinki, Finland
