| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 24, 2006 Clear amber color with a small white head. Aroma is piney and filled with citrus and hops. Taste is sweet and sour from the citrus tones, light malts, and hops. Finish was a smooth, but a little lacking in the flavor department. I liked the brew, but it could have been better with a stronger hops finish. schwaiger (90), Laramie, Wyoming, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Apr 23, 2006 12 oz. bottle. Buttery aroma, clear amber body, white head of small bubbles. Average carbonation. Creamy, easy, clean and sweet with instant and lingering bitterness of pitch and copper. Nothing to write home about, but not a bad IPA. Thaichile (599), 10aFly, New Jersey, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 23, 2006 Bottle. Pours a reddish amber with a nice head and residual lacing. Hops and fruit are on the nose. Fairly balanced athough bitterness lingers throughout. Could used more sweetness and a smidge more malt for support. All in all, I liked this one.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 20, 2006 Updated: Jun 9, 2006Tap @ the brewery & 12 oz bottle. Clear amber/copper with large beige rocky head, nice lace. I wasn’t much impressed with the tap version for it was consumed cold, but the bottle had a nice med roast English malt flavor, with fresh hops and a touch of yeast. Fresh and clean tasting. Not very far into medium bodied, but a nice brew for the common man and with food.
I wouldn’t hesitate to drink this again. barleyPops (1081), Quad-Cities, Illinois, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Apr 15, 2006 Oddly, the only IPA available at the liquor store I happened to stop at. A decent, tasty session ale with some brewpub roughness, but no noticeable flaws. Good resinous hop aroma with some battle between hop and malt dominance (no clear winner). harlequinn (2745), Tacoma, Washington, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 11, 2006 This has a great flavor coming out of the gate, but soon loses any momentum it has in the finish, dropping right off the palate. A very soft IPA, with some wonderful citric grapefruit in the aroma. Hoppy all the way through, with a light maltiness. This one is just OK. mjg74 (2000), La Mesa, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 4, 2006 Pours a medium golden/orange color. Somewhat hoppy aroma. Alittle grapefruit and pine. Some maltiness. Hoppy right up front with a creamy mouthfeel. Some woodiness. Mid-range bitterness. Sort of malty as well. Bitter finish. Decent IPA.
