| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Dec 15, 2006 Bottle shared by sliffy. Cloudy with an orange hue. Aroma of apple and mild hops. Kind of tastes like amped up bud light. Not very flavorful with a little off twang. How is this an IPA? Pailhead (2588), Allen Park, Michigan, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Dec 6, 2006 Bottle: Courtesy of cbkschubert via trade. The aroma is sweet with caramel and fruit (grape?) with minimal hops. It pours a very hazy amber with a small off-white head that quickly fades to a minimal film on top. The flavor starts with lots of caramel and toffee. The flavor is pretty constant throughout with just the slightest hint of piney hops in the finish along with a touch of metal. There are hardly any hops in this IPA. Not at all what I expecting. moejuck (1165), Ohio, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Nov 24, 2006 Shared by Sliffy. Sweet, caramel, and lightly hopped aroma. Golden brown in appearance with very little head. The palate was medium. Watery and barely any hop flavor to speak of. 11026 (1799), Alabama, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Nov 17, 2006 Bottle from Craig. Medium to deep amber in color, slight haze. Smallish off-white head fades quickly and leaves spotty lacing. Aroma is slightly sweet, caramel malt and perhaps some floral hoppy notes. Medium bodied, a bit syrupy for me. Sweet initial flavor of caramel and a moderate balance of bitterness which is a bit harsh at times. Fair. nolankowal (850), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Nov 14, 2006 Bottle shared by sliffy, thanks! Orange pour with a white head. A strange aroma of floral hops and latex house paint(infection?). Medium body, bitter flavor that holds some odd medicinal elements to it. A bit watery at times with a clean finish. sliffy (1967), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 8, 2006 Bottle: Amber color with an off white head. Aroma, caramel, with some citrusy notes creeping through. Flavor, caramel, not much bitterness at all. Kinda on the bland side. adrian910ss (1421), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Nov 7, 2006 12 oz bottle. Pours a golden coppery color with a small white lacing. Aroma is very faint butterscotch, caramel and hops. Taste has a mild hoppy flavor to it with a hint of malt. Very bland and nowhere near that classic west coast IPA taste that is so good. Average at best. hopdog (5562), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 25, 2006 12oz bottle acquired in trade with cbkschubert (thanks!). Poured a deep and slightly hazy orange color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, citrus, some pine and a ligtly floral. Tastes of caramel with light citrus. Sugary sweet and very lightly bitter. Struck me as more malty than hoppy.
