| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 28, 2009 Pours a crisp gold color, with a big frothy white head. Big piney crisp citrus hop aroma fills the air. Very zesty. The flavor is quite similar, great hop bite and bitterness for this pale ale. Nice grapefruit citrus aftertone with hints of malt character as well. Nice little alcohol presence too as the 8% is evident. I quite enjoyed it! unclemattie (2417), Georgia, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 6, 2009 Tap at a little burrito shop in Davis, WV called Hellbender. Amber color, white head. A very welcoming hopped aroma with hints of grapefruit. Flavor is a nice soft caramel malt. All followed by a sharp bitterness. A bit too sharp for me to really enjoy this beer. I got it down, just a bit too off balance for my palate that particular day. 25 oct 09 ironp55fe (19), dayton, Ohio, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 29, 2009 Marketed as a Pale Ale, really this is an IPA ( GL already has an IPA, commodore Perry). Pours a pale amber. heavily hopped, hints of pine. good palate, but very "sticky" on the lips. great notches formed upon drinking. A truly unique taste. jcos (50), Maryland, USA

Decent appearance for an IPA, but not super great. Aroma is light. Pretty good flavor, but not amazing. Smooth drinking IPA.
I give this beer about a 7 overall. Svesse (2657), Hässelby, Sweden

Fruity, floral, hoppy nose with orange peel, grapefruit and grainy malt. Fruity, floral taste with notes of orange peel, grapefruit, grainy malt and fresh hops in the finish. Medium body, fairly dry. Lovely balance between the subtle grainy malt and the citrussy hop character. Nice beer. drfabulous (1244), Columbia, Missouri, USA
