| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Aug 28, 2007 12 oz bottle. Clear golden copper with nice decent head. Aromas were citrus hops. Flavors were a little weak, but decent bitterness. Not bad for grocery store beer. SpringsLicker (2043), Tennessee, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 1, 2007 Pours clear gold, with a thin white head.
Earthy hop aroma.
There is little in the flavor other than a persistent bitterness, there is little malt backing here.
It comes across the palate as being a bit thin.
Overall, this beer is way out of balance to be in the upper leagues. Palidor19 (1798), Brandon, Florida, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Aug 1, 2007 This is just to thin and watery for me to really enjoy. The malts are very weak yet their is some hops with piney overtones. however its just a weak version of an IPA robforbes (1114), Bremerton, Washington, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 3, 2007 pours golden with a big frothy white head looks very very nice.
smells of citrus and wild flowers with a note of vanilla.
taste is quite good, bitter yet light, aftertaste leaves the mouth a bit oily feeling.
not a great IPA but a good one. Angeloregon (2036), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 11, 2007 Light copper golden color with fat white head. Mild floral aroma. Pleasant hop flavor and good balance of malts, too. A bit biscuity and well rounded. Not that great but not that bad. Ibrew2or3 (2843), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 18, 2007 Pours light copper to gold with thin off white head. Light aroma that is vaguely sweet malts and hints of wet floral hops. It has a pale to nearly grainy malt taste initially. Along with the malts is a floral hoppiness that leads into some biscuit malts. Comes up a bit short on flavor and hops for an IPA.
