| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 4, 2007 An all-around good IPA. A decent hop flavor with little else, crisp finish with some lingering bitterness. Certainly a good buy for those everyday drinking occasions. TheBeerLover (1019), DC Metro Area, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Oct 27, 2007 Sampled this one on draught at the brewery in Hood River, OR. This beer pours to a bright, deep golden to orange color, with a tall white head, and a good bit of carbonation. The nose on this beer is very fragrant, with big aromas of citrus, lemon, and pine. The palate is firm, with good, crisp, pale pale malt flavors. This beer finishes with more good pale malt up front, then ends with a very zesty, and bitter citrus/pine hop bite that lingers. A classic example of AIPA, that showcases hop aromas and bitterness wonderfully. hellbilly (1532), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 17, 2007 Aroma is reminiscent of a Sam Adams Boston Lager, however, flavor is the tried and true taste of an IPA. Nice and hoppy, and it doesn’t hurt that is 13 proof. Palate is very managble. TheBeerMaster (100), Little Falls, New Jersey, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 17, 2007 Hoppy aroma, yellow color to the beer. Crisp but not overwhelmingly so. A pang of fruit aftertaste, but overall a solid IPA to it. Definitely worth drinking. jefcon (1004), Arlington, Virginia, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 17, 2007 Big and bold indeed. Lots of hoppy aromas float up from this yellowish brew. Crisp, packs a punch, but very drinkable to my taste. Lots of pit fruit throughout and dominating pine, with a bitter bite and a bitter finish. Cirtus notes of lemon and grapefruit cut through the body of this beer and liven it up. Good stuff. BigMilly8 (376), Holiday, Florida, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 16, 2007 From bottle : Very good first taste off of this baby. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a finger of white foamy head. The head dies down fairly quick though, but leaves a nice white ring and pretty nice lacing around the glass. A very nice mixed aroma of malts and floral hops, i really really like the aroma of this beer. Flavor is great as well, very balanced much like the aroma, with malts and hops. A little bitterness on the end, but its good. Palate is medium body and lively as it goes from one end of the mouth to the other and on its way down. One of my favorite IPAs so far, very good. dwedin (238), Portland, Oregon, USA
