| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 1, 2007 Bottled. Pours a clear golden colour with good carbonation and a white head. To me the nose was rather absent of floral/hops but more dusty. Average, not a great IPA. ultraspank (866), Dublin, Ohio, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 28, 2007 Had a few of these after work with my boy Tony. Nose of evergreen resin, citrus and some alcohol. Pours a sparkling golden. The mostly diminishing off white fluffy head leaves sticky webby lace. The brew starts balanced with a slight hint of malt believe it or not. The heavy acidity becomes pronounced in the middle, the long bitter finish is complete with a slight tang. The full soft body is creamy and feels dry at the finish. BlackForestCO (831), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 24, 2007 Poured from a bottle. Poured a medium gold color with a moderate white head. Aroma of hops and citrus. Decent malt flavor up front that runs into a classic hop/grapefuit taste. Crisp and refreshing, but nothing out of the ordinary.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 24, 2007 12oz bottle. Pours a pale, flat amber with a thin head. Aroma is sweet and tart with floral notes alongside hoppy citrus and honey. Taste is full-bodied and sweet with a strong floral bouquet alongside some notes of hops and citrus. A unique IPA, though the floral aroma and flavors seem to overwhelm the remainder of this brew. Elizavyeta (110), Minnesota, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 24, 2007 Dusty orange pour with a frothy off-white head gives off a distincitvely citrusy aroma - not unlike Rush River IPA - much like orange peel.
Actual flavor ends up being sweet and floral with a thick molasass-like finish that lingers on the palate for some time.
Would pair exceptionally well with stronger, stinkier cheeses like Grayson or muenster. troopie (909), USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 22, 2007 Bottle. Poured copper amber with thick white head. Artistic lacing. Medium hoppy aroma with some spice and pepper. Hoppy aroma with some malt, I wouldn’t call it big or bold malt. Lasting bitterish finish. BTW I believe this ale is available year round. mar (1973), Dallas, Texas, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 15, 2007 poured a nice golden/amber color. smells of hops and sweet stuff. the first sip was not what i was expecting from an ipa at all. the incredibly hoppy taste was in the aftertaste. it felt pretty well balanced on the palate but alas after the second sip i found the hop taste. pojo41 (315), Hattiesburg, Mississippi, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 12, 2007 Bottle. This beer poured a copper color with a nice white head that didn’t last long. Aroma of hops is immediately evident on opening. Flavor is dominated by the hops but, you still know the malt is there and makes it’s presence known.
I’ve really come to like IPA’s and this is a pretty good one. I would buy this again.
