| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 21, 2005 Very fruity aroma, almost candy-like. Hops are very up-front. Pours a lovely golden color, hints of red throughout. Small head. Flavor is also very fruit heavy, with hops to back it up. Very little malt presence, making it a bit unbalanced. This is a bit harsh on the mouth, not like Stone Ruination, but the lack of balance makes it a little rough. Still, a quality IPA. USA v. Honduras!

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 13, 2004 This is quite a fruity IPA, from the aroma of citrus and berries, to the strawberry color, to the abundant flavors of strawberries, cherries (do I detect a hint of raspberry?) - quite unique and odd - moderate hops and a strong, biscuit-like malt backbone for the fruit flavors to play off of - a unique experience - expect a malty ESB rather than an IPA, though. ross (1709), weddington, South Carolina, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Mar 17, 2007 BOTTLE SAYS I BEST. WONDERFUL MALTY SWEETNESS, GENUINE, AND PACKED FULL OF FLAVOR. GREAT MOUTHFEEL NOT THICK OR THIN. A MASSIVE HOP ASSAULT. ALL THE SPOILS OF A WONDERFUL BEER WAR. TREAT YOURSELF. DrBayern (1137), Morehead City, North Carolina, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 3, 2006 Hazy amber with an enduring off white head, nice lace, and some floaties. Honey, toffee, and light citrus aromas. Medium body, faintly resinous, light carbonation. Light sweet malty base supports a refreshing piney and bitter orange hop character. Dry, lightly bitter finish of medium duration. emacgee (1891), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Sep 4, 2008 Pours a copper orange with a one finger creamy light yellow head. The nose was very resinous and hoppy, sweet, citrusy, lightly piny and earthy, spicy, mandarin orange. The flavor is mostly earthy herbal hops, lightly citrusy, some pink grapefruit. The mouthfeel could have been more substantial. RagallachMC (631), Cleveland, Ohio, USA

Aroma: Citrusy hops with a bit of lemon and orange, Medium malt sweetness with some light graininess and a bit of caramel. A light touch of green apple. Appearance: Light copper in color and clear. Off-white head was full and rocky with nice retention. Fair lacing. Flavor: Semi-sweet malt up front with a touch of caramel. Big grapefruit and some pine resin, followed by another hit of malt that leads into the finish. Medium-high bitterness is well balanced and refreshing. Palate: Medium bodied. Moderate carbonation. Overall: A great IPA that I wish I could find closer to home. beerinmarch (2822), Washington, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 20, 2004 Pours a nice amber color with a silky white head that leaves moderate lacing. Nice fresh hopped aroma. The hops carry through in the taste nicely with a good bitterness towards the end. Nice crisp taste. Slightly acidic taste afterward, but still a nice brew.
