| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 17, 2009 22oz bomber shared with funkybrewster. Pours a lovely glowing orange amber with a nice sticky white foamy froth with great sticky lacing. Mmmmm fresh! what an aroma! super green oily sticky piney resiny hop pellets, some sweet sticky rich honey and caramel just underneath, beautiful! Flavor is also quite green, hop pellets, lots of hops, soo soo green tasting, a bit herbal, some med/light toasty caramel with a very bitter finish. Medium bodied, on the thinner side though, light stickiness. The greenness is amazing in the aroma, but of course it hurts the flavor a bit. yobdoog (1504), Woodridge NY, New York, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 10, 2009 Fresh and clean. Aroma of cascade hops and sweet malts. Taste is sweet and hops linger a bit. Well made and very consistent. shadey (1501), Rochester, New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 13, 2004 Orange shiny pour. Litle to no head. Very smooth mouthfeel. No sharp hop bite on the tongue which is a nice plus for me. Slight bitter aftertaste. Nice and a little bit different. Ethereal (1500), London, Greater London, England
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 17, 2008 Bottle, at breakfast, during EBF 2008, Copenhagen. Amber with a good white head that leaves lot of lace on the glass. Soft yet full bodied and tasty. Very drinkable - an approachable American IPA. dmac (1500), Toms River, New Jersey, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 5, 2007 12 oz bottle. Is this bottle conditioned? I sure hope so because mine poured a clear orangey/amber color with a TON of floaties that resembled sour milk poured into hot tea, and a nice size frothy white head. Well I darnk it anyway despite the floaties, please let it have been yeast. Aroma started off with a nice big whiff of citrus hops and then turned over to sweet caramel malt with the hops taking the back seat. Flavor was dominated by sweet malt with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Nothing special here, nice but not that memorable. Strykzone (1496), Wood River, Illinois, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 25, 2008 Clear light amber body with a short lived tan head. Not a pronounced aroma but a nice one. It is full of hop with pine and floral notes along with some caramel malt. A big tart hop bite nips the back of the throat at first sip but that quickly fades to a dry bitterness. Grapefruit, grass and floral flavors. 108 varieties of hop and malt?! A good IPA but not quite exceptional. redlight (1496), Winter Park, Florida, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 15, 2007 Sweet pine resin on the nose, with hints of citrus. Pours pale gold with little to no head. Sweet upfront, but wow the hops kick in, good piney flavors with grapefruit and bitter orange peel in the flavor. A good session IPA, i like this one. Cavie (1490), Fort Worth, Texas, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 21, 2009 Clear orange red. Frothy head. Sweet hop aroma. A wet smell that’s not sticky. Soft hops upfront that provides for a wet bitter background. Some kind of tart fruit in the taste. Almost like kumquat or dry grapefruit. Finish is wetter than expected and not distastefully bitter. Better than anticipated.
