Not a big nose, citrus hops, grassy, some light toasty malts. Flavor is step up, citrus hops, biscuity malts, strong bitter finish which then fades to maltiness. Med carb, feels a little thin. esjaygee (1537), Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA

Aroma of bread, sweet malt and citrus. Taste of citrus, pine, sweet malt with a smooth pine finish. A little sticky but overall a decent balanced IPA. carl4beer (401), Fairfax Station, Virginia, USA

| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Aug 15, 2008 Bottle. Pours golden orange with thin white head and a skunky aroma. Taste is piney, grapefruit hops with an over bitter finish. Not really something I would drink again. mrw1zard (54), Birmingham, Alabama, USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Aug 12, 2008 To second StFun, the aroma is bad. I kept thinking, maybe it is just a skunk - but after a while I thought that was wrong too. Pours a nice cloudy yellow/orange color. Looks good, smells bad, tastes bad. Not at all in line with great IPAs. Very very bitter, almost undrinkable. StFun (534), Indiana, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Aug 11, 2008 Oh man, I wanted to like this one badly, but honestly couldn’t get past the aroma. It smelled like dry cat piss or similar. No joke. I held my nose and took a drink, and didn’t mind the flavor (I actually liked the bitterness and piney hop taste) but, every time I caught a wiff of this one, I wanted to gag. Highland makes some really solid brews, and I loved the name of this one, but damn that stench!! mabel (2612), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Cloudy, orange brown body with a long-lasting foamy off-white head and small bubbles around the edges. Dull grassy pine resin flavour. Medium body is a little bitter. Drinkable, nice bitterness.
