| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 11, 2006 12oz bottle. Nice hops aroma from the start. A nice malt and hops balance in the taste. A good beer but could easily be a pale ale if not for the nice hop bite that barely creeps in at the end. Lowe1983 (1029), Fairborn, Ohio, USA

Flavor starts off with a very sweet grapefruit taste and finishes slightly hoppy. An ok IPA but not my favorite. Casteel420 (59), Bristol, Virginia, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 24, 2006 brilliant burnished gold with a nice medium lasting whitish head... with some lacing on the glass as well. As the beer warms some tangerine/mango flavors show in the hop flavor
Resiny, grapefruit, some pear like fruity aromas with a faint malt background
Toast malt, firm resiny, spicy, grapefruit pith like hop bitterness. Some astringency and creaminess.
Palate: lingering Layers of hop dryness, creaminess and some more hops
Overall: A very well made IPA, which has a great juicy hop nose really nice to see a toast (munich malt) like flavor to support the hop flavor well done. No it is not a Stone/AleSmith IPA but downright a darn good IPA if the toast malt were restrained the juicy hop bitterness would shine evermore.... mmmmm hops fakepurseninja (790), Washington, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 16, 2007 Very flavorful IPA. The dry-hopping takes control of this drink as is it dominated by a sharp, pungent Hop flavor and aroma. Also very bitter upfront and through the finish. Very floral on the nose - lots of hops on the tongue. Very lemony and tart with a slight pepper twist. The malt is sharp and sweet and strangely heavy. I liked the drink overall; could benefit from a little aging, but it is perfectly quaffable straight from the store. DruncanVeasey (2764), The Penguin’s Arms, Europe, Warwickshire, England
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 7, 2007 Bottle labelled 4.7%abv. Pours red amber with a slick of fine white suds. Tempting perfume of Turkish Delight and orange, becoming increasingly leafy and nettle-like as it warms. Chewy, floral and uncompromisingly bitter, with a grapefruit punch and trace of biscuity malt. Big hop character at the strength. Very tasty, pungently bitter IPA. thomat (666), Göteborg, Sweden
