Nose is rich with citrus hops and light florals. Yes! A hop-dominated IPA for sure. Nice amount of citrus and florals up front with some fruity notes and caramel before a lingering floral bitter finish. Nice.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 1, 2009 Draft at GABF 2009. Pours a clear medium amber with a medium foamy white head and decent lacing. Aroma is caramel malt, earth, and piney C-hops. Flavor is not quite as hoppy as I expected. Maybe I am just too used to west coast IPAs. Sweet caramel malt, earth, resin, pine, and a tiny bit of citrus. Body is medium with some mild lasting bitterness. angrypirate06 (762), Texas, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 27, 2009 A reddish amber pour with a medium sized white foamy head. Aroma is biscuit, toast, grassy hay, citrus and pine. Flavor is excellently balanced: A sweet caramel note gives way to resinous citrus pine, and some toasty malt notes. Palate is medium to full bodied with a stickey smacking finish. Excellent balance, malt sweetness, and sessionability. mar (1842), Dallas, Texas, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Sep 19, 2009 ( 12oz bottle) Pours orange with nice head and good lacing. Nose of chlorine (I seem to smell this in all Ithaca brews), crisp citrus hops. Taste is rye, bitter hops, but I hate the finish. It needs some malt backbone to support the bitter hops. thenick (744), North Bellmore, New York, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 13, 2009 Bottle. Pours a reddish-orange color with an off-white head. Aroma is malt and citrus hops, completely. Flavor is citrus up front, with hops, and a caramel/malt sweetness at the back-end. Alcohol pretty detectable, despite only 7% ABV, and the beer was pretty drinkable throughout. Not bad....Not bad at all. blutt59 (2110), Dallas, Texas, USA
