| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 13/20 | Apr 17, 2004 Bottle. Nice yellowish orange with a lacey white head. Hop aroma, very floral. Hoppy and malty flavor. Hops linger. Not a big IPA, but rather drinkable as a session beer. beermatrix (1497), Twin Cities, Minnesota, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 6, 2004 Soft golden sunshine hazy yellow color with some steady carbonation bubbles at first but calms to lightly lifting and in less amounts. Nice finger high head of off-white foamy froth that diminishes with a steady flow, lacing leaves broken, thin stringy sheets and tiny spots. Smell is mostly malts with a dryish biscuity caramel, touching some sweet fruitiness and floral attributes with the hops, but nothing strong enough to portray a hopped up IPA. Flavors aren't as hoppy as I like but its not a bad tasting beer overall. Its mostly malts with a biscuity dry caramel, a bit oxidized and plain, but comes across soflty enough, yet starchy as well, which doesn't help much. Hops are tame in its bitterness, just a bit of a bite but doesn't carry much character or length, just some slight floral and woody dryness floating around in the finish that has a fairly decent dryness thats mild and pleasing. Mixing in a bit more are another layer of the biscuity drying malts that has a whole grain touch. Feel is a bit harsh and scratchy in texture thats a bit chalky too just before the finish, other then that its medium in body and would be quite nice if it was smoother. I wanted to like this beer, I seemed to like it, but I didn't. It has effort but no results for an IPA.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 2, 2006 An OK IPA. Good hoppiness, pretty well balanced, just lacking complexity. Better than any macro swill you’ll find, but mediocre in terms of premium micro-brews. tomthompson89 (1494), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Aroma is hops, citrus, and a little earthy. Taste is light and malty with a with a bitter twang of hops in the finish. A very subtle IPA and nice if you don’t want your head blown off by the hops.
