| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 23, 2005 Golden brown with a thin white head. Doughy malts, citrus and some piney hops in the nose. Moderate bitterness, some grass, a little earth, doughy malts balancing things out. Solid IPA. NYHarvey (2154), New York, New York, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 19, 2005 More my kind of IPA, where it isn’t just a hopsplosion, which is prolly why it is rated so lukewarm. Very solid brew from a VERY underrated Brewery. Oakes (8166), Kowloon, Hong Kong
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 11, 2005 Bright golden-amber colour. The aroma is woody, citrusy with fresh bready maltiness. Moderate bitterness - slightly woody, earthy. Some toasted malts and clean bread notes. The palate is balanced. An IPA doesn’t need to bludgeon you with hops to be good. fuzzywasabeer (28), boise, Idaho, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 29, 2005 12oz bottle, orange with an off white 2" head, alfalfa hops smell, not much carbonation, medium bodied slightly bitter, minor balance issues, better than average overall. dberger624 (1028), Phila, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 11, 2005 Bottled. Beer on the month. Wasn’t a bad beer. Had a nice dry hop bite to it. Had worse. Had better. Eyedrinkale (3209), Astoria, New York, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 10, 2005 12 oz bottle. Yellowish color with minimal head retention. Nice zippy hop aroma with some white pepper. Aroma of Cascade hops is most prevelant. Taste is piney and sweet and sadly without any real balance. BeerLimey (1873), California, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Apr 4, 2005 Lightly hazed orangey amber. Sweet pineapple, woody hop aroma. Dryish, spicy palate, mild biscuity malt and tropical fruit. Not a great IPA but drinkable. ontario102 (794), Boise, Idaho, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 27, 2005 It’s been a while since I’ve had this one: Some spicey, floral aromas in the nose, a note of sweet fruitiness, too; nice pour yeilds an ample cap of creamy, nicley lacing head; very slightly body and moderate carbonation; sweet, nutty front end followed by a building, citric/floral bittering; the malt really needs some more presence, the hopping is adequate and tasty; not bad
