| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 26, 2007 350 ml bottle from Archer liquors. Clear golden amber with a fizzy white head. Citrus and pine aroma and taste with a crisp clean finish. jkoch (41), USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Aug 26, 2007 From a 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear amber with a small off-white head. Very strange aroma and flavor that I can’t put my finger on. Maybe bready. Other than that, I smell and taste citrus hops. Mild bitterness. mrm1021 (23), Naperville, Illinois, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 26, 2007 Via 12 oz bottle. Excellent floral hop aroma with a golden pour and decent white head. Good biting taste of hops with a bitter finish hinting a slight palate of pine. Have enjoyed this IPA/APA (your choice) on draft @Great Lakes or in the bottle. A good standard for Great Lakes minch25 (363), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 21, 2007 Light yellow amber color, creamy white head. The faintest citric hop aroma, I can hardly smell a thing. More lemon citric hops in the flavor, assertive bitterness. A little too much on the metallic side. Ok, but not too exciting, and some bottles are downright poor. DeweyDell (155), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 20, 2007 12 oz bottle. Pours clear golden color with white head. Nice hop aroma to it, fairly standard pale ale flavor. Nothing special, but it’s very drinkable and being a Clevelander I have to appreciate the burning river reference. =) prosqtor (408), Appleton, Wisconsin, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Aug 18, 2007 Definitely an APA, not an IPA. Heavier mouthfeel changes a bit as you swallow. GREAT aroma of pine needles and floral hops. Crisp taste, dry hops and pine with a balance of breadiness. Very good session ale. I’m half in the bag on them now! Louipa (121), USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 17, 2007 I liked it quite a bit and it grew on me the more I drank. Good stuff. Repeat purchase. Yum. BeerBlitz (49), Roslyn, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 16, 2007 12 oz bottle poured into standard pint glass. Pour reveals strong amber color, clarity is clear with no particles. Aroma is superb and very inviting; includes strong pine, hop, and light bread notes predominate. Mouthfeel is full bodied, but somehow also a little thin upon finish. Bitterness says mild "IPA", heavier body and mouthfeel says "American Pale Ale."
