| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 27, 2009 Bottle. Nothing special here, nice color and I can see some carbonation. Overall a nice beer, but I can’t taste or smell anything that would make it stand out. keidjxz (77), Irvine, California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 8, 2009 Solid IPA not overly hoppy and not a very fragrant aroma. Pours golden orange with a decent head and a crisp flavor. skoisirius (588), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 2, 2009 Tasty run of the mill NW IPA. A bit too balanced if you know what I mean. Great if there’s nothing else available. neepsntatties (350), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 25, 2009 On tap at Full Sail in Hood River. Colour... golden amber with a thick head. Nose... lightly piney hops, grain and some malt. Palate... mildly hoppy and somewhat piney, light citrus and plenty of grain. Rather so-so for an IPA made on the west coast. ericandersnavy (1141), crossroads, Texas, USA

| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Sep 18, 2009 A fizzy yellow beer with a big white head. Aroma is bready yeasty malt, a vague fruitiness but not really hoppy at all. The flavor has a bit more hops, of the fruity variety, and a little bitter but really just kind of watery. The one good thing i can say about this beer is you don’t taste the slightly elevated ABV. Boring, one of my least favorite IPAs, if you can even call it that. daleharshman (206), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 11, 2009 12 ounce bottle purchased at Trader Joe’s ($1.09). Pours a mostly clear honey-amber color. The thin off-white head soon disappears into nothingness. Nose is mandarin orange, sweet tropical fruit (lychee), and some kind of not-so-appealing vegetable quality. Tastes predominately of fruity hops with an astringent quality. The taste is rather sharp and not in a good way. I think I prefer my IPA’s with US Pacific Northwest hops -- surprised that a brewery in Oregon did not opt for "local" hops. At least it was cheap!
