| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 8, 2009 From the 1 pint. 6 fl. oz. bottle with a July-August notched off expiration date. The pour is a rather cloudy amber-reddish tone with a silky beige head. The aroma is more spicy and yeasty than hoppy but it is still a pleasing one. The hops are much more evident in the taste than the aroma with something kind of floral as well. shawnm213 (997), South Bend, Indiana, USA

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jun 23, 2009 bottle. Luckily a brown one, unlike pictured at left.
Pours a ruddy, very hazy light brownish amber color. Decent pillow of off-white head that lasts well, but the color hurts. Nose is full of earthy, resinous hop notes. Not much in the way of bitterness on the nose, but some sticky fruity sweetness does come through. Flavor is kind of all over the place; assertive sharp hop bite unlike the nose, pine and floral hop notes, some booze and fruity esters, some sharp acrid tobacco. Just doesn’t really work well. Palate doesn’t help, either- sharp heavy carbonation and a thin-ish mouthfeel. Meh. Starts to border on bad. canary dog (443), Rutland, Vermont, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 17, 2009 Not an overly aggressive or complex IPA, like many of their more recent creations. Middle of the road. A good starter beer into the really hoppy IPAs. Dickinsonbeer (3499), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jun 14, 2009 Bomber at PPRBSG09. Pours a hazy deep amber with a thinning head. Aroma is stale old cheesy hops, green grassy, herbal, light old citrus and dull caramel malts. Flavor is a touch metallic, bland hops, cheesy, old caramel malts,toast, lemon lime soda, metallic- and tonic-like with an astringent finish. Meh. j12601 (1340), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA

Smells like plastic hops. Thin to medium bodied. Ugh... not tasty at all. Light hop finish. LilBeerDoctor (1530), East Setauket, New York, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 5, 2009 Bottle at PPRBSG09. Pours a cloudy orange. Aroma of tropical fruits, caramel malt, citrus. Flavor has a nice balance of the caramel malt and citrusy hops. Slight astringency and harshness in the palate, but overall pretty decent. I liked this one!
