| 1.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 4/20 | Sep 6, 2009 Bottle. Gold, with a massive off-white head. The aroma is malty, with notes of citrus and pine. Medium body and fizzy. The mouth feel is almost like a soft drink. Very sweet and really measure of hoppiness beyond a typical American pale lager. On the whole, a rather disappointing beer. asheft (1438), Marburg, Germany
| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Aug 29, 2009 [bottle]
Weak aroma of not delicious hops, sort of cheesy with strawberry notes. Clear red-orange under bubbly ringed thin white. Spicy watermelony caramel with very low hops flavour and some cardboardy bitterness. Slightly nutty note as well. Unpleasantly dominated by a rancidy bitterness. Medium carbonation, light to medium body, nutty bitter finish that will not go away. Not good beer. drowland (1430), Tallahassee, Florida, USA

Clear, amber orange body with a medium-lasting foamy off-white head. Bitter grainy sweet hops flavour. Medium body is bitter. Drinkable, not wonderful.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Aug 3, 2009 The appearance is a thick, pillowy head. Sits atop a hazy, glowing orange. Carbonation looks like bats escaping a cave. Looks like a goddamn BEER. A really nice flowery hop in the first sniff. Sweetish pine-hop. Some tangy pale malt, with a small hint of citrus fruit. The flowery estery hop is the signature flavor. The pale malt shows up fashionably late. The malt has hints of tobacco and raisin. The feel is creamy and chewy, moreso with the temperature rising. Thick and foamy. IT’s a terrific, flowery IPA. Not overwhelming but really nice. A summery (!) IPA General66 (171), Streator, Illinois, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Aug 2, 2009 12 ounce bottle from a JW Dundee craft pack. Poured a light golden color with a one finger width white bubbly head that disappeared quickly. The aroma consisted of very light citrus and hops. The taste was along the same lines as the aroma with subtle hints of pine and hops. Very light mouth feel also. There was nothing offensive about this beer but it was extremely bland. I think I have become spoiled by all of the excellent IPA’s that I have had in the past. This is a decent lawnmower beer, but really nothing else...
