| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 4, 2009 I’m confused by this beer. It has a belgian style taste like Ommegang Saison but I don’t think that is what they were shooting for. Also the carbonation disappears quickly leaving you with a flat beer even though the lacing is nice. I’m thinking they use top notch ingredients but maybe the process is lacking. decaturstevo (1997), decatur, Tennessee, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 7, 2009 This poured a copper color with a white head. The aroma contains some caramel and citrus mainly oranges. The flavor is rather bitter with some oranges and pine showing through. I’m not a huge fan of single hop IPAs but this one worked ok. Overall not bursting with complexity but a decent IPA.
