| 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 (152), 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 (193), 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. MrRain (437), O’Fallon, Illinois, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 4/5 | 8/20 | Dec 31, 2007 12oz bottle poured in a shaker. MWHOIPA pours murky copper with a large fluffy head. The lacing is like linen, solid and off-white. The nose is minimal and floral. The body is medium to chewy and a little oily. Being an IPA the hops obviously play a large part in the taste but there is a definite bile under current that I do not like at all. The finish is spicy. This is a below average IPA.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 25, 2007 Poured a hazy golden-straw body with a medium-sized whitish head. Toasted malts and fragrant herbal notes. Mild bitterness in finish. I am assuming this is a traditional IPA. A little boring but not too bad. screigh (264), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Dec 22, 2007 Pours a slightly hazy straw color. Decent head with some lasting power but no lacing. Aroma is almost non-existant but has some sweetness. It tastes like an old lady’s perfume. Flowery. And the maltiness is very similar to a 99 cent malt liquor. This is pretty bad.
