| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 14, 2008 Bottle: Poured a light yellow color with not too much head. The aroma was somewhat fruity sweet and hoppy. The flavor was light, refreshing, well balanced with some hints of orange peel and hops. Overall, one of the best IPA’s I’ve had. jmm635 (269), Havertown, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 12, 2008 Updated: Feb 7, 2009Clear amber color with an orange tint. Small whitish head. Aroma is strong hops, slight scent of caramel. Very hoppy flavor with a little citrus - couldn’t pinpoint the exact fruit. The mouthfeel was kind of stinging and very bitter. Not one of my favorite IPAs. I’ll stick with the 90 minute. 17thfloor (1507), Chicago, Illinois, USA

Lovely fresh citrus hop aroma with some pine, resin and mellow malt. Big fresh hop flavor without any of the annoying sticky maltiness. Perfect balance, citrus and pine. The malts are perfectly positioned to lay a nice sweet base without interefering or covering up any of the hopiness. Medium/light body, so easy drinking, no stickiness, standard carbonation. Amazing drinkability without going over the top on the malts, lets the hops shine thru as an IPA should. SlowLoris (8), Boulder, Colorado, USA does not count | 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Aug 11, 2008 A light, clear amber color and a light, fruity-smelling head give way to citrusy, hoppy goodness. This beer does a nearly perfect job of straddling the line between hoppiness and lightness... an IPA that is easily drinkable on the hottest of summer days, yet will still challenge the palate of any seasoned beer afocianado.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 8, 2008 From the start, a lively aroma with banana abound. Mahogany in color. The flavor was fruity, mildly hoppy with the same banana presence from the original aroma. Nice, fizzy palate. A definite winner, from a person that has never liked an IPA. beautifulmess (4), Hackettstown, New Jersey, USA does not count | 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Aug 8, 2008 This beer is just a classic! It is IPA perfected without a doubt. The right amount of hop nose make this a semi/session beer w/out a doubt. The mouthfeel is instrumental to what happens next. The finish. A pleasant grapefruit meets orange finish. A must try....Poo-Zim-Pee-La halfonit (479), Fall River, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 7, 2008 I’ve heard so many good things about this beer that I HAD to try it out. At first smell I could definitely tell that this was going to be a nice hoppy flavored beer and it didn’t let down. It just got smoother and smoother from one beer to the next (and no it wasn’t because I was getting a "buzz"). It was just a sign that this was great stuff!
