| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 26, 2007 Reddish with off-white, thick head. Caramel malt is present in the aroma and heavy in the taste. Cascade hops are prevalent but dissipate before the finish leaving each drink feeling like something is missing. Quite drinkable, though.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 24, 2007 A good easy drinking ale that is fruity as all heck. There is a good dose of crystal malt that adds a nice cookie texture to the beer. The cascades are well represented, but not out of balance. joshwilfong (781), Cleveland, Ohio, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 24, 2007 Aug. 24, 2007; 12 oz. bottle sampled in a Trappist glass. Never heard of this one -- caught my eye at an Upstate NY supermarket. Reddish-caramel-colored, minimal head/lacing. Aroma & flavor is appropriately hoppy, but the "bottom end" of this is wanting, and the finish is a bit watery. Could be the poorer cousin of SN’s Celebration Ale. An above-average beer nonetheless, and a good find so close to home. zebracakes (1214), Washington DC, USA

Aroma is hops, wood, caramel, slight acetone, wet dog. Flavor is hops, candied caramel, slight peat, vanilla. adrian910ss (1421), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 16, 2007 Pours a clear reddish amber color with a small white head. Aroma of cascade hops, caramel malt and sweet pine. Taste is hoppy with hints of sweet pine, caramel and a floral finish. Nice IPA. MrBendo (1043), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 14, 2007 Bottle. Ruby color with a small head. Aroma of caramel malts and citrus and pine hops. Very balanced taste; and it has a pretty good, fruity/IPA flavor. But it’s a bit thin. Dry finish. A lot of the elements are there, but the thin texture keeps this from rating higher.
