| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | May 28, 2007 Clear amber color with a smal, fizzy white head. Bitter aroma of hops. Taste of light hops and a long bitter finish. Not much sweetness and no real floral hop aroma. Needs more hops and a different variety too. Easy to drink but really just a tolerable taste. Altogether, a slightly below average IPA. LooseCannon (936), Norfolk, Virginia, USA

| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | May 25, 2007 slick feel, medium body, soft carbonation, caramel, spruce,
I find this beer to be average if not a touch below. It is drinkable, however, not something I would seek out. Tolerable is the term I would apply. scottyw (46), Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 25, 2007 overall, not bad. Pours and looks beautiful golden with a nice creamy head. The aroma leaves a lot to be desired, because I can only smell soap. The taste is very light for an IPA, average finish. Nothing offensive about this beer, really...everything is done on the light side. argo0 (7018), Washington DC, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 22, 2007 Not bought at Fred Meyer.
Pours gold to copper with fluffy off white head. Sizable grapefruit hop aroma with hints of sweet malts way off in the background. The flavor begins with a grapefruit hop bitterness slap to the face. Then it turns a bit watery as a hint of grapefruit juice flavor shows up with an equally minuscule amount of sweet malts. Into the finish the grapefruit bitterness becomes the main flavor component.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 22, 2007 Fred Meyer special #1.
12 oz single.
Amber coloured ale, clear, large frithy off white head, dont look too bad at all.
Spicy ,hop aroma OK, slight maltiness in the back.
Peppery hop, spicy flavours that start off actually quite strong and nice, but strangely dissapear half way through the mouthfeel, leaving just thin caramel malts then the bitter after taste. Strange!
Mouthfeel is rather on the watery side, but not really bad.
Overall its a drinkable but not a good IPA. wingman333 (250), San Antonio, Texas, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 21, 2007 An average IPA, perhaps a bit lighter than I like, slight bitterness on the aftertaste...I’m glad I only purchased the single bottle and not a six-pack. I think I’d get the Red Hook IPA variety instead next time, or one of the many others available.
