| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 19, 2009 Bottle:   Coppery amber, clear, large foamy off-white head, spotty lacing.   Pale musty hope nose.   Similar on the tongue.   Perhaps more citrus here than on the nose.   Feels more of a light citrusy Pale Ale.   A little mineraly on the backside.   Artificial sweetness on the finish.   Average body and mouthfeel.   This might appeal to the masses as its lighter than I would think for an IPA.   Quaffable in that it has a nice light citrus sweetness to it.   Other than that, not my kind of IPA.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 30, 2009 Pours dead clear gold with copper core and thin white head. The aroma is nice and chewy with sweet citrus and caramel as well as full up malts. The taste begins with a pulse of citrus hop bitterness and then moving into sweeter yummy citrus hop flavor notes as well as some sweet and caramel like malts. Very tasty IPA with a solid hop presence. Sparky27 (1608), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 14, 2009 12oz bottle courtesy of riversideAK. Pours clear medium amber with a half finger white head. The nose is caramel, pine and light citrus. The taste is toffee, sweet citrus, caramel malt and light pine in the finish. Given the name, I have to assume this has a few months on it, but it’s still a decent IPA. Thank for sending it Alex! BückDich (4857), McCall, Idaho, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Oct 8, 2009 Bottle: Pours a light amber color with a little white head. The nose is light and hop forward with a touch of malt and husk. The flavor has a nice little piney hop note along with some toasty light caramel and berry notes in the tail. Clean finish and a grassy tail. Not too bad, not something I’d reach for again though. markwise (1200), 15 Minutes from Kuhnhenn in, Florida, USA
