| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 16, 2009 12oz bottle. Thick, cloudy orange-tan color with a respectable head on it. Lots of earthy hoppy citrus flavor up front, followed by a nice toasty malt balanced, watery finish. Solid soapy/astringent bitterness. Walking the line between medium and full bodied, it remains pretty sessionable while still being quite flavorful. A respectable IPA. tmoreau (599), Lombard, Illinois, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 1, 2009 12 oz. bottle at Lunar Brewing Co.. Poured a hazy, orange/amber with a light orange tint to the off white, foamy head, leaving some nice ribbons of lacing. The aroma was light with floral and citrus notes. The flavor added an astringent bitterness that over shadowed any good malt presence. Light bodied, drinkable, but unimpressive. noncaloric (628), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Sep 12, 2009 Hazy pour, light amber or dark gold, large white head, abundant sticky lace. Soapy hops bitterness, way more bitterness than aromatic qualities, malts have a worty, fresh oatmeal quality to them, but also a lactic staleness. There are some nice fruit qualities, citrus, apricot. Medium body, palate is both soft and lively. Disappointed: there’s a good beer trying to get out of here, but it didn’t make it. krysztofar (344), belleville, Illinois, USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Sep 12, 2009 12oz bottle. yike this is bad. rarely if ever say that but this one’s a mess. smells like hop extract, no hop flavor just bitterness, and it tastes like crap. pass on it. drowland (1430), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 4, 2009 Had on tap at a restaurant in Madison. The beer was okay, but the aroma was all pee and the flavor was much too bitter. mcjay (304), Neenah, Wisconsin, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Feb 26, 2009 Cloudy copper color with a thin off white head. Extremely mild for an IPA. Light caramel aroma. Slightly malty with a dash of hops. brewmaster55 (48), , Wisconsin, USA
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 3/5 | 6/20 | Feb 7, 2009 Found this at the Cellar and thought I would give it a try. Was hoping for a good IPA but what I got instead was a lack of Hops and taste in general. I feel as though they were trying to make too much happen at once and failed. Might be alright for some, but for me, this was a oncer. Merrill (77), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 4, 2009 Pours dark yellow with a thin white head. Very light aroma reminiscent of Bud. Bread with maybe some fruit jam. Definatley tastes better than it smells. Light maltiness more dark bread, little citrus, hint of roasted ham. Nondescript hop character with good bittering - actually fairly well balanced - I’d have to agree - it’s definitely not an IPA. APA or maibock. As you go along, it perks up, more fruit - might be a good shesh-beer for some
