It's really not that hoppy. The malt is good, but the hops are lacking. Crit (2416), New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 18, 2007 Poured an amber to copper color, weak head, weak lacing. FD didn’t impress me in appearance with the PA or now the IPA, disappointing since the style has beauty to offer. The aroma was caramel and piney grass hops. The flavor was caramel malts, bitter pine, herbal, and grassy hops, similar profile to the pale ale, stronger obviously, also a touch of diacetyl? Body a little light for an IPA. Many an IPA better, though this was at least ok, yet not my favorite take on the style are these more amber/red type IPAs. badlizard (2396), Berkeley, California, USA

Good grainy and sweet malty aroma with citrus notes. Great honey sweet grapefruit taste with notes of pine. Quite good. Vac (2394), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 8, 2002 This golden amber beer has a very appetizing aroma that hits your nose as soon as you open the bottle. the aroma is sweet and fruity (citrus, grapefruit?) with a hint os hoppy bitterness. the flavor is bitter and hoppy with sweet fruity accents. the finish is dry, bitter and hoppy.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 7, 2008 Pours a very lightly hazy, glowing medium orange-amber color. A small, foamy, off-white head settles to a thin film with a small edge. Minimal, scattered traces of lace dot the glass. The aroma is quite nice, showing bright orange hops, grapefruit, and sweet melon notes over a creamy, caramel malt base. Some resinous hops sneak in on a deep inhale, though they play second fiddle to the fruity, citrus element. The flavor is more of the same, however a disappointing influx of cereal grains dulls things down a bit. Well balanced between hoppy and sweet, this one sports a smooth, medium body and mouthfeel. Finishes quit bitter. This is a nice, easy drinking, run-of-the-mill IPA.
