The taste is pretty much right in line with all the other IPA’s of the world, with more hops than the average beer. If you are rating this beer against all other IPA’s it would be right in the middle of the pack. Not great, not aweful, just decent. EithCubes (2164), Indiana, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jan 11, 2007 Bottle. Sweet and malty, only slightly yeasty nose, grapefruit and citric tang with some nice breadiness. Hops bring an interesting floral note - almost like white grape. Amber-orange with a stocky, lacing, foamy beige head. Very hoppy, slightly rough and gritty taste. Not quite brutally bitter, rather a strong bitterness that can be enjoyed. Full, filling body. Very dry, bready and resinous aftertaste. Short of being thrilled, I am very happy with this! RedXIII (127), Powell, Ohio, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 9, 2007 Good beer but not a lot of complexity for an IPA. I personally thought it was just very hoppy, with little to no fruit, floral, citrus or pine aroma or taste. Taste was very bitter, but for how bitter and sharp this beer was it was smooth throughout. Jon123 (36), Emmaus, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 6, 2007 This IPA is like an old Ford Mustang - classic yet simple. The beer doesn’t over dazzle with mega-hops. It has all the right stuff in the right places. And I will drink to that......cheers! TechMyst (166), Fox River Grove, Illinois, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 31, 2006 Hazy orange in color. faint aroma. Tons of lacing. Medium mouth feel. I always prefer the softer carbonation of bottle conditioning so this brew will always get a few extra points. Very nice offering of an IPA. I’m loving this BC more and more with each brew I try. buckybeer (666), Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 28, 2006 Pours a medium copper with a small white head. Aroma is of mild pine, hops, and citrus. Flavor is pretty mild. Slight bitter hops and light malts. A pretty decent beer. GreatLibations (1447), Last Supper, Arizona, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Dec 23, 2006 Pours a pale honey color w/ a medium sized semi creamy froth. The aroma is slightly earthy w/ some aged citrus rind. Medium nectar w/ mellow residual effers creating an almost creamy texture. A malty style w/ balanced hops. This is a good brew indeed. The hops are tame yet defined. Moderate caramel and leather. Not too citrusy. The finish is well bittered and perfect. I could drink this all day. Overall: this is an IPA that is balanced, and it’s a true 7%. A solid brew! hayduke (1661), Eureka, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 22, 2006 Updated: Feb 20, 2009Bottle. Poured a copper color with a big of-white head that left nice rings of lacing in the glass as it slowly settled. Nose is more citrus than hops. Mouthfeel is rich and clean. Flavor is very complex for an IPA. but that is not bad. The complexity is part of the allure of this beer. Great finish, and good to the last drop. As an IPA this many seem a little tame, but don’t rate it as an IPA, but just a good drinkable brew and it comes out pretty well.
