| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 19, 2008 From bottle : Pours a clear golden color with a little white frothy head, that leaves nice lacing. Decent hop aroma, piney hops. Taste is pretty nice, nice hop bite, a little bitterness on the back end, and pretty smooth going down. Medium body, a great ipa to sit down and drink a sixer of.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 19, 2008 This is a pretty good everyday IPA, somewhere between a British and American style. It begins with an American hop bite, with a grapefruit rind bite, and also a spicy locker room sweatiness and a bit of tangelo fruitiness. I don’t know if I’d peg the malts as definitely maris otter, but its a heavy thick breadiness with a touch of caramel. The malts come forward in the flavor, introducing the hop flavors rather than waiting in the background. I like this. The finish is balanced. Color is a rich orangey amber, almost too clear looking, with a thick creamy 2 finger head. raiderfost (158), virginia beach, Virginia, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 14, 2008 Copper pour with a nice head. Not a bad IPA but i do have to say its a little fruity and im not sure about the aftertaste. shackinetics (132), Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 11, 2008 cloudy copper with decent amount of white head. Fruity bouquet. Flavorful pine and fruit hoppiness. Earthy/metallic after taste that lingers. Well balanced, but maybe a bit bland.... good but not great IPA blindeyedbetty (151), Arlington, Virginia, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jan 10, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Unidentifiable metallic smell with sour yeast. Cloudy, thick appearance with frothy white head that leaves a lot of lacing as it slimes down the glass. Flavor of bitter pine with a stong hoppy middle palate and a sour finish. I can see how this beer could endure a voyage of any kind, any length. It probably just gets hoppier and more bitter the longer it travels; kinda like my husband. naivepegasus (185), USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 7, 2008 Pours orange with a few fingers of stark-white head. Floral citrus notes in the odor. The taste has a slight hoppy taste, but overall seems to be pretty tame for an IPA. It’s drinkable, but there are far better IPAs out there. duffman462 (162), Gainesville, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 4, 2008 Light hazy amber body. Mild citrus on the nose. Body is medium and a bit sweet, with mellow hopping for balance. Not a real aggressive IPA, more like the English rendition. Good, but a little bland. dolemite77 (184), Maryville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 2, 2008 Metallic tasting is the most obvious strike against it. Clear amber with a slightly rocky off-white head that lasts. Hoppieness is basic, like it could have came from hop extract. Aroma is nice, but not very strong for an IPA. Just a step above a pale ale in boldness. Not terrible, but I doubt I would shell out the coin for another 6 pack.
