| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 27, 2009 On tap at Tavern 58, Rochester, NY. Pours clear amber with a medium head and characteristic IPA lacing. Aroma is light but pleasantly hoppy. Taste is hops and apricot. Nice body but not much finish. Solid IPA but not my favorite.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 17, 2009 This is one beautiful beer. The pour is hazy red with a thick, chunky, lingering head. The aroma is malt with some hops. The flavor is very good with malt, spice, caramel, and the finish is floral hops. This beer is tasty, sweetness with the malt and a great amount of flavor and finishing hops. I am really digging the hopped up reds that have come out lately, and this no doubt is a good one.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Nov 13, 2009 Mild hoppy aroma, more caramel then one would expect in an IPA. Pours a reddish-amber, with a cap of off-white head. The flavor has more of the malts showcased, with biscuit and caramel notes, and just a bit of bitterness in the finish. A tasty beer, but I wouldn’t class it an IPA. kassner (449), Wexford, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Nov 12, 2009 On tap at Poor Richards. Nice IPA but especially noted was the prominant yeast taste throughout, plenty of malt also, more like an ESB yinzerbeernut (55), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 7, 2009 Deep deep clear amber color with slight carbonation. Off white head with some lacing. Fresh hop aroma with a touch of sweet malt. On mouth it is of medium body and balanced between the hops and malts. Refreshing and crisp are two words I don’t mind using for this beer. It finishes slightly on the bitter hoppy side. Braudog (3758), Dayton, Ohio, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 4, 2009 Bottle. Erupted like a volcano into my glass. The aroma is sweet and peppery. Drinks with a big dirty essence, full of a wet mushy hop character, kinda like a wet wool blanket in a glass. (#3730, 11/4/2009) mjs (1483), Helsinki, Finland
