| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 29, 2008 Pours an orange-tinged golden color. Medium head that dissipated quickly. Light hop scent of citrus, maybe some pine. Taste is a nice lingering citrus hop. Carbonation is prett good. A little on the light side but a nice subdued IPA, in line with English IPAs. Good session IPA. doubleipa (224), Georgia, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 29, 2008 Nice three quarter inch, creamy, white head. Body was extremely clear, amber. Aroma was underwhelming. A bit of hay, straw, light hoppiness, and pine. Moderate bitterness throughout. Dry texture up front, but with a nice finish. Kind of dissapointed. Not really what I expected from a great West Coast brewer. easy drnking and good long lasting aftertaste. hophead9 (1), Corvallis, Oregon, USA does not count | 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 28, 2008 Clear golden with an orange cast. Moderately creamy head. Light floral hoppiness in the middle. Clean refreshing finish. A good summertime IPA. I like it with grilled wild salmon. It won’t overpower most foods that you pair it to. toddkrem (81), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Aug 19, 2008 Pours slightly clear with good amounts of head. Good taste, and very smooth. Great beer if having more than a few. savnac (448), Palmer, Alaska, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 14, 2008 a clear amber/orange under a large creamy off-white head. fresh, piney, floral hop aroma with touches of yes...chicken broth.. as someone put it. flavor is moderately hoppy. nice biscuity malts. i do enjoy a toned-down english style ipa but this one just didn’t do it. glennmastrange (862), hobe sound, Florida, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 11, 2008 Bottle. Moderate malt notes of toasted and caramel, hops of herbs and a little pine, light notes of leather and broth, with hints of toffee, and spice. Head is creamy, a little off-white, has fair to good lacing and is mostly lasting. Color is clear amber/orange. Flavor starts lightly sweet and moderately acidic, then finishes lightly acidic and moderately bitter. Palate is lightl to medium, oily and has a carbonation between soft and lively. It finishes slightly drying. the nice spicy aspect of this beer sets it apart from other IPAs.
