| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 15, 2002 Typical pale, clear IPA appearance. I rather liked the piney IPA aroma. However, the flavor was rather lacking. The malts and hops seemed rather off-balance and the finish was undesirable. Suttree (2750), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 25, 2002 Microbrewed IPA, typical of the style - not much finesse, but doesn’t really call for it. Hops dominate throughout, very quenchng, very tasty. Uglyradio (776), Greenville, South Carolina, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 25, 2002 Pours a cloudy copper color with a medium sized head that rapidly dissipates. Strong fruity hop aroma with some malty smells thrown into the mix. This IPA is big on malts, but the hops do come through with a slight bitterness that lingers. A very tasty IPA.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 29, 2002 A nice beer. A little thin in flavor and could use a blast of hops. I will buy it again. JCW (1262), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 20, 2002 Updated: Jan 20, 2003The first one of these I opened, I had to catch the bottle cap as it rebounded off the ceiling. It does pour with large head, and have a "floral aroma". It has an interesting combination of bitternes and sweetness. I nearly had a "Breakdown" of the nervous type when I opened the second one.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 14, 2002 Re-Rate 10/14/02: The beer pours a nubilous amber-orange, the head frothy and gargantuan, from fermenting in the bottle. The bottom of the bottle coated in yeast, that gives the last pour into the glass a streak of brown. Earthy, slightly musky, floral, malt, and a delight to ’Sniff’. Front is spicy sweet, top lean, the finish is moderately dry, ruggedly hopped, thinly acidic. Ranks #496 on my current 1000 beer master list. jsquire (2123), St. Marys, Ohio, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 9, 2002 Poured out of the bottle with a cloudy orange color, thin white head and a huge floral hop nose. Initial sharp spicey/piney flavor but a little thin. I didn’t feel enough backbone to support the hops. I must have tasted the same "1" dimension that DaSilky did.
