| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Dec 18, 2008 Wet celery and flabby, stale cigarette ashes greet the nose, while a nearly-rancid, heavily oxidized ashtray and sweet, green vegetable hops barely hint as IPA level bitterness. Bad bottle or bad beer? Ughsmash (4022), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 16, 2008 Bomber. Poured clear coppery orange with a short cap of off-white head.. nice color to it. The aroma picked up juicy floral and citrusy notes with a sweet, rich caramel backing.. resiney. The flavor opened with tangy orange zest and brighter floral notes with sweet toffee and caramel rolling in.. bitterness stayed at least moderate throughout with a nice citrus bend to it.. finished long and resiny, picking up a little pineapple.. tasty! Medium-plus bodied and kinda syrupy on the palate with a nice slow flow to it.. great brew! ilherps (226), Carbondale, Illinois, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 3, 2008 Kind of boring IPA. Ample head, disapates quick. Color of Bourbon. Citrus, pine, simple nose. Lean and hoppy. Not much complexity. Too lite, and the flavor peters off pretty quick. OK.
