| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 10, 2005 Huge grapefruit and flowers hop nose. So much resin the beer looks oily. Over 100 IBUs for a regular Ipa with boatloads of dry hopping. Light maris Otter english malt nose that is great with the west coast hop presence. Lubiere (4529), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 12, 2004 Tap. Light reddish golden ale with a nice floral hops aroma. Good floral hops and subdued malts. Very organic, with an oily mouthfeel. Good body. (June 2004). ChillCoat (1029), Concord, California, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 24, 2004 On Tap- Toronado. Poured pretty pale with a slight white head. Almost no orange at all. Faint hop aroma. Flavor was dominated by a sweet maltiness with no real aftertaste. Probably better than anything I could brew but not a great IPA in my opinion. Jeppe (2638), Ølbutikken, Denmark
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 14, 2004 Cask at Magnolia Pub and Brewery, San Francisco. 6.9% ABV (the draught version was 7.0% ABV!!!). Hazy amber orange beer with an airy white head. Very hoppy and nutty aroma, quite full and delicious. Extremely bitter and little flowery flavor. Maybe the most hoppy beer I have ever had (and I have tried most of the big ones!!), this is like hop-extract! Notes of nuts and caramel also. A very nice and interesting beer! kwoeltje (1321), Manchester, Missouri, USA
