Bottle: The aroma has lots of citrusy hops with mango, apricot, and some caramel. It pours a hazy orangish-yellow with a small white head. The flavor starts with moderate mango and apricot and finishes with mostly grapefruit hops with a touch of pine. The hops fade very quickly. The carbonation is very lively leaving the mouthfeel a tad prickly. CaptainCougar (5532), Rockville, Maryland, USA

Aroma of sweet gritty caramel malt and fresh piny, earthy grapefruity hops. Body starts slightly sweet with lots of fresh bittersweet hops. A nicely-balanced and drinkable IPA.

There was some decent lacing on the glass at the end. Smelled of flowery hops and malty caramel. Delicate sweetness on the tongue gave way to moderate hop bitterness. Flavor was dominated by buttery malty caramel supported by resiny hops. there was also a touch of vanilla. Good IPA. spector (906), Lancaster, Ohio, USA

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Apr 20, 2007 Thanks to Iowaherkeye for the bottle. Light floral hop aroma is nice. Faint copper color with a white head. The palate is very highly carbonated which I simply hate! Caramel malt is strongly present in the flavor with some dry, piney hops--but the mouthfeel ruins it for me. Skyview (4095), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA

Turbid orangish pour with fluffy, off-white, 3-finger head. This one overflowed the bottle upon incapping, and the head stayed huge with every repour. The aroma was bready caramel malt, big hops, tangerine, mango. Tastes caramel malty, with some tangerine, mango, black pepper, hops, and a medium palate that got a bit tart at the finish.
