| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 6, 2007 22oz bottle shared courtesy of jasonmech77. Poured a medium and slightly hazy amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of pine, citrus, and just all around hoppiness (nice). Tastes of pine, citrus, and caramel. This one wasn’t bad, wasn’t fantastic, it was ’Just Outstanding’. I gotta get me some more from this brewer. hopscotch (5483), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 6, 2008 Bottle... GIABMISGFAB... This beer rocks!... Cloudy golden ale with a small, creamy, white head. Excellent retention. The earthy, fruity nose is bursting at the seams with tropical and fuzzy fruits. Full-bodied and creamy with lively carbonation. Sweet, but balanced by juicy hop bitterness. Lengthy, bittersweet finish. Kudos to mcbackus for hosting the Spring Gansta Fling and Bling and for providing this beer! bu11zeye (5470), Frisco, Texas, USA

Aroma of pine, resin, citrus, earthiness, and nuts. Flavor of hops (pine, earth, some citrus) and caramel malt. CaptainCougar (5459), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 19, 2007 Bottle: Clear golden color has a nicely-lacing frothy white head. Fresh, resiny, citrus hop nose has a light pale malty sweet balance and some peppery hops. Starts with good malty sweetness and big, fresh citrusy and piny flavor hops toward a drier, bittersweet, crisp finish. A nicely balanced and very drinkable IPA. jcwattsrugger (5333), Florida and, New Jersey, USA
