| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 18, 2007 Courtesy jayMFg. Pours a slightly hazy orange, with a small white head. Big, juicy, citrus hops and grapefruit dominate the aroma. Smells like it could almost be a IIPA. The flavor is obviously monster hops, but not so overpowering where it dominates everything else. Pretty good semblance of balance and there was a decent malt presence, most notibly up front. Solid effort from these guys. Edmoe (130), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Nov 18, 2007 Clear amber, thin head, nice lacing. Intense floral hop aroma with spruce. Very nice, aggressive hoppiness. Clean finish. A bit thin bodied. Very good IPA. xmarcnolanx (807), Kirkwood, Missouri, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 12, 2007 Nice sweet malt and orange aroma.
Taste is very similar with a nice floral hop bite.
Very nice IPA. I’d usually write a longer review, but I am just not feeling it tonight. This is a quaffable IPA with a nice long finish. Drink4Satan (586), Bristol, Rhode Island, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 9, 2007 Pours a honey colour with an off-white head that leaves good lacing and fades to a solid foamy cap. The nose has that wonderful grapefruit hop citrus and pine smell that comes across as very fresh. The flavour is, again, grapefruit citrus and a sweet toffee malt backbone with some floral and fragrant notes in the finish. The finish is also marked by citrus and is slightly dry with moderate palate duration. It has a medium-thin body and tingly carbonation. 1FastSTi (2590), Glendale, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 9, 2007 Thanks Jason. Pours to a bright orange yellow filtered body with a creamy white head and nice lacing. The aroma is catty grapefruit and other citrus with some cookies. The flavor is pine and grapefruit with a nice cookie backbone. Lots of malt in this one. Bitter, but not overly so. Nice malty palate. I though it was an APA.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 9, 2007 Pours an amber colour with a medium frothy off white head. Aroma of strong grapefruit hops and malts. Initial taste of grapefruit hops with minor malt sweetness. Finishing with a clean, crisp bitter hops. Medium body, minor lacing of the gass and good head retention. emerica56 (587), Bristol, Rhode Island, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 8, 2007 This beer has a nice clear orange look with a minor head and large bubbles in it. The aroma is very piney and hoppy with some nice grapefruit hops. as you drink it there is a strong sitrus hoppy flavor with some initial hints of lemon zest or lemon grass. Then there is an apricot flavor which complments the lemon tartness. The apracot coats the palate and fades at a reasanable rate.
