| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 23, 2008 12 oz bottle, thanks again left over from a party. Poures a clear golden amber. Light frothy head and aroma of citrus. Decent IPA, the alcohol is not present to any point to strong. Good, not great. HonkeyBra (1361), Lemont, Illinois, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 23, 2008 From sample pack from Binny’s in Wheeling, IL. Golden color, and finally a decent head. Aroma is floral hops, but is pretty light. Taste is citrusy and grassy hops, with a little strange aftertaste. Mouthfeel is good, medium body. Average for the style, but that’s not a knock. It tastes like your run of the mill IPA. paulmetzger (152), Pocatello, Idaho, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Feb 20, 2008 Bottle from Grapevine. Heavily carbonated with turbulent bubbling after pour. Orange-amber. Decent but pretty generic hop aroma. Metallic aftertaste. Thin. RSRIZZO (1369), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Feb 17, 2008 Aroma is a light floral hop scent. Color is golden with a lot of sediment floating around. Carbonation is light with a very thin but tight head. Taste is hoppy, soapy and bitter. Starting with a medium body it goes down crisp. Finish comes on hoppy, slightly citric but more floral, then a mild malt flavor and a bold bitterness. In the after taste a soapy flavor comes in as the bitterness peaks then fads out. Its an odd balance, not a bad beer but the bitterness and soapy taste overwhelm the rest. mar (1939), Dallas, Texas, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 15, 2008 dark gold pour with a thin layer of white head. light hops, grass but mostly malts on the nose. very strange taste for an ipa. more hops in the aftertaste than anything. jjuf1853 (480), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 13, 2008 Pours light copper amber hue. Good sized foamy white head. Hoppy aroma and flavor. Overall decent but not spectacular IPA. RblWthACoz (963), Brooklyn, New York, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Feb 13, 2008 Pours a clear amber with an off white head that rises off some firm carbonation and falls. Nose is kind of leafy and roasted but has a real odd almost syrup like edge to it. Jeez. Hello 7% alcohol. Way too high. You can totally taste it. Hops character is definitely overshadowed by it. Feel is okay. This would be easier to drink if there was less alcohol in the way of any finer character points. The way it stands though, it is far from being balanced.
