| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Sep 9, 2007 A bigger version of the Burning River. Bitter, but not too bitter, with a good balance between malts and citric hops. Very dry and bitter finish. Capa (995), Yokosuka, Japan
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Sep 9, 2007 Clear yellow with some red. Hops, pine, and slightly sweet citrus aroma. Alcohol is well hidden under strong citrus and pine hops, and caramel malts. Finishes rather bitter and dry. Medium body. Very nice IPA, wish I had tried this one sooner.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 5, 2007 Medium gold, slight head. Fruity grapefruit and pineapple aroma. Really nice balance between light caramel malts and really juicy citric hops. Bone dry bitter finish. Excellent IPA that needs some love, quite possible that the appearance is too light for some people. Thanks to Secret Santa crizay!

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 2, 2007 Pours clear light copper with a large off-white head. The aroma has semi-sweet caramel malt and light earthy / woody hops. Medium slick body with gentle prickly carbonation. The flavor starts with dry caramel malt with underlying honey notes, piny hops and light medicinal notes. The finish offers more hops (piny, woody and earthy) with the earthy hop taste lingering on. This is good, but not what I’d hoped for. Petrucci914 (601), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 1, 2007 Pours a sparkling gold color. Bitter hops, pine, and a bit of citrus can be smelled. The taste has just the right amount of bitterness, not too much over the top. Citrus and pine finish. kp (8600), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

clear dark gold, fine dirty white head,
sweet pine and citrus aroma with sweet crystal malt,

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 28, 2007 12 oz bottle from Dansting. Pour is a clear yellow orange with a two inch white head and a fair amount of carbonation. Aroma is citrus (lemon and orange) hops. Taste is nice, citrus, nice full malt body and a great bitter hop finish. Would love to try this one fresh. Thanks Dan!
