| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 15, 2008 Bottled: Amber coloured with a rich and creamy head. Soapy hops on the nose. Loads of resinous, soapy hops in the flavour. Long bitterness. Doesn’t break any new ground but is really tasty. RSRIZZO (1369), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Apr 11, 2008 Aroma is a fresh hop scent with a mild citrus tone. Color is a slightly hazy orange brown with good carbonation and a thick tight head. Taste is citric and hoppy. Starting with a light / medium body that goes down fizzy yet smooth. Finish comes in with a very mild malt sweetness that is quickly washed away by a bold bitterness, a fair citrus and floral hop flavors. After taste is dry with the bitterness building and linger in the back of your mouth. This is a good IPA but not as special as they make it sound. I think a better example of a fresh hopped IPA is Sierra Nevada Harvest Fresh Hop Ale. Prostman (1077), Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 30, 2008 Bottle. A hazy orange beer with a small off-white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of oranges and hops. The flavor is sweet malty with lots of hops and a thin body. Maybe the thinness comes from the rather simple flavor.
