| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 14, 2009 12oz bottle that was a bonus from hopdog. Pours a darker caramel golden color with average head. Nose is biscuit and vegetal with some hints of resin deep down in there. Taste is very malty up front, then into a light piney hops and into a bit of a soapy finish. A bit to malty for my liking in an IPA. Thanks for sending this my way Steve. mjg74 (2000), La Mesa, California, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 10, 2009 bottle - Pours lightly hazy copper with a one finger, lingering white head. It has a pleasant aroma dominated by grapefruit accented hops. The flavor is also led by grapefruit hops along with some sweet malt and hints of pine and caramel. It’s medium bodied, well balanced, and overall a very solid IPA. coyotehunter (557), , Michigan, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 7, 2009 Bottle. Smells kinda hoppy, bready, malty and a bit floral. I kept putting this off thinking it would be quite bad, but turns out its pretty good. Better than many. Coppery color in the glass with a dissipating head that seems to lace good.. Lacks a little in flavor, as the malt and hops seem to blend a bit too much.Some grapefruit notes with other citrus and floral hints compliment the pine and grass notes ok...Like I said. They seem to mix almost too much and things dont seperate. Finish is a bit biting. salright..but not great.
