| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 10, 2009 Solid IPA. I’m looking at the other ratings from this brewery and they are all from 2006 or 2007. Its not rated very well but I’m guessing they’ve improved in the past 2 to 3 years because all their brews I had in December 2008 were pretty decent.
Pour is a very nice dark golden ruby with a nice off white head that gives good lacing. Aroma is nicely balanced of citrus (grapefruit, lemon) and floral hops with caramel and some nice roasted malts. Flavor is much of the same with a good bitterness. Palate is good carbonation and a very nice mouthfeel. Probably HBs best brew. realale420 (399), west covina, California, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 21, 2006 On tap poured a hazed amber/orange color with a small off white head. The aroma had a big caramel malt presents with citrus hops. Taste was slightly bitter, but not what you would expect from an IPA. Overall a decent beer that had an alright balance.

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Aug 24, 2006 This is kinda a blah IPA. Bit of a hoppy taste to it, but nothing overwelming or even that would make me want to drin another unless it was like $1 at the local pub. joet (1709), Fulton, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 23, 2006 Very sweet, very hoppy, floral a touch of bubblegum, Nearing what some people call a double IPA but without the alcohol. Protein rich body. Although not what I was expecting, this was delicious even if a bit heavy for HB. Eyedrinkale (3209), Astoria, New York, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Mar 20, 2004 Copper color with a nice head and lacing. All these beers from HB Brewing are lacking in the aroma dept. Light, malty with an even lighter hop taste (fo an IPA).
