| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 23, 2006 Thanks to Degarth. Pours dark amber, small white head. Big sweet malty flavor, maybe even some slight chocolate malt in there. The hops seem sweet, grapefruity, and slight piney, that take over all other flavors. Very balanced and not too over the top ecspecially at 9%, not for me but right on with the style. daboskabouter (1470), Fergus, Ontario, Canada
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 22, 2006 Bright golden colour with a white head. The nose is citrusy and a bit resiney with hints of orange peel. The body is very hoppy and just a little sweet with malt. Resiney with some orange peel notes. A nice hoppy IPA, solid malt, good delicious drinking. aracauna (2427), Georgia, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 22, 2006 Pours a nice red body with sticky foam head. The aroma is nice citrus and pine hops with a touch of pineapple backed up by a smooth caramel malt. I’m not usually a big fan of Mendocino beers, but this one hits the spot.

Pours transparent copper with small head and decent lacing. Flavor is hoppier than aroma, but still rather malty Floral and cirtus hops breakthrough. Palate is tart and crisp. Not bad.

Taste is slick mouthfeel, lots of citrus hops, second malt. Full 2IPA isn’t my style, this is just into the 2IPA style, so I still enjoyed it.
