| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 17, 2008 Bottle. Light amber body, off-white head, hoppy nose. Moderate bitterness, some crystal malts, a bit on the light side. kidmartinek (1001), austin, Texas, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 15, 2008 A golden amber pour, slightly cloudy, well behaved. The whole thing goes into the pint glass without you having to wait. 1/4" head. Nice floral hop aroma with notes of citrus and corriander. Good mouthfeel, medium-full. Flavor is full and smooth, and then finishes really bitter. A little too bitter perhaps, and not enough balancing malt. But its flavorful and damn good nonetheless.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 14, 2008 Orange-tan medium effervescent body with a healthy white cumulus cloud head, half-inch after settling--attractively sits in its snifter... hops-like pine and fresh-cut grass--a bit fruity as well... pleasant and medium-bodied--lacking weight? only slightly effervescent... immediate presence in the throat--evens out over the tongueand spruces up in time...the lingering presence is a bit punchy...this IPA sneaks up on you, with little fanfare and less power than the other members of the ABV-heavy IPA brotherhood... smoothed out a Cavs’ loss, and fits reasonably well with the others in this sampler... bag (103), Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 12, 2008 From bottle... poured copper orange with mildly hoppy aroma. Flavor was a good citrusy & pine, but was not very strong. Kind of a mild overall IPA, but good enough to get again. changeup45 (802), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 12, 2008 Updated: Jul 16, 2008This one was a decent overall IPA. Copper, orange tinted look with a nice thick head. Hoppy aroma. Hoppy flavor, a bit sour with citrus grapefruit. Pretty good, I’m satisfied. Also the alcohol content is hidden pretty well. vadavid (131), Fredericksburg, Virginia, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 6, 2008 Pours golden-orange, moderate head with lots of lacing. Aroma is not all that strong, piney hops. Taste is mostly piney hops, some cittrus. Bitter finish. Nothing exception, but it’s a pretty decent IPA. One for mid-afternoon. Readily available.

| 1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 2/20 | Mar 28, 2008 12 ounce bottle- this would be an excellent choice for a beer to put out a campfire with. Bitter and sour as a trailer park mother-in-law. Bitch in a bottle. I hope when I piss this swill out, it doesn’t discolor the john. Skeegle (499), Maryland, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 28, 2008 Pretty bland IPA really. I have to say that when an IPA has that IPA taste but lacks the bite and bitterness to back it up, it really doesn’t make for a good beer. This one hits your palate with a zing but then immediately looses flavor and can’t carry any umph, almost the way chugging a flavorful IPA would loose its bite after your buds grew used to the flavor from gulping on it. It is very cheap though...but I won’t drink it again. I must carry on the quest. It never ends! Arghh!
