| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 28, 2009 12 oz bottle from Market of Choice. Dark orange pour with a pretty big white head. Aroma is a nice mixture of pine and grapefruit with some caramel malt for balance. Flavor much the same, more pine than citrus but both meshing well with the caramel malt to create a tasty and well-balanced IPA. Mouthfeel medium to heavy, very pleasing.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 14, 2009 Bottle. Pours turbid orangy coppery with 2-finger off-white clingy head. Nose is resiny hops, caramel malt, mango, pineapple, tangerine. Tastes caramel malty, with a nice tropical fruity medley of mango, tangerine, peppery hops, and a smooth finish. Very well made and nicely balanced. MrRoss (617), Delta, British Columbia, Canada
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 7, 2009 Updated: Jul 8, 2009From Belmont Station, in Portland, OR. Certainly a far better representation of Idaho beer than that damned Grand Teton from the night previous. This started with a bang, producing a huge white, foamy head of at least four fingers depth, capping a body of cloudy orange hue. The aroma was an inviting wave of hop floating upwards, and wasn’t the taste just as nice! A real IPA, I think, along with no issues about the mouthfeel or finish.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 21, 2009 Bottled. Poured slightly hazy medium golden with a tall, fluffy off-white head. The aroma picked up zesty grapefruit and fresh pine needles over a sweet caramel and candied fruit base.. very well-balanced. The flavor found sweet caramel and toffee at the core with pine resin and grapefruit bitterness around.. peppery through the finish.. tasty. Medium-bodied with ideal carbonation on the palate.. bitterness was high and spot-on.. grainy on the long finish. Excellent stuff! MrBunn (1557), Western, Pennsylvania, USA

Pours a hazy amber with a pretty big head and aromas of sweet, tropical fruit and a little bit of pine/grapefruit. Flavor has quite a bit of mango and pineapple with a nice malt presence and a pretty good balance. Cletus (5058), Connecticut, USA

Tastes earthy, with some grapefruit and resin on the finish. Hophead22 (1105), Redlands, by way of Wisconsin,, California, USA
