| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 15, 2008 mhhhh, quite hoppy, but not much else, could use more balance...flavor is piney with just a bit citrus character...pretty ordinary overhopped ipa roder60 (1030), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 12, 2008 Pours a nice clear dark orange color with a nice amount of foamy white head. Aroma is very much of sugared grapefruit which i absolutely love - very strong and nice. Flavor is very sweet and malty - lots of caramel flavors with nice floral citric hop character but not overpowering. Great balance and nice medium mouthfeel. This is a great IPA. zootfinster (179), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | May 11, 2008 Not being an IPA fan my rating is somewhat biased. I guess it’s a good beer for its style. lots of hops and lots of carbonation. The flavor is very citric. Ever once in a while I try an IPA to see if my taste has changed--It hasn’t Acknud (792), Morganfield, Kentucky, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | May 8, 2008 Nice IPA. Balanced malt and hops but finishes with a good floral hop taste and arome. Full bodied in the mouth. gws57 (1144), Saint Charles, Illinois, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 2, 2008 Found this one bottled at Lundeen’s in St. Charles, Illinois. Hazy dark orange pour with a thick and foamy light tan head, brassy nose of floral hops, clover honey and a hint of chocolate malt. Interesting taste: the bitterness of rosy hops, orange rind, gin and very strong tea. Finishes strong and bitter. I’d call it a hop bomb but it really wasn’t all that hoppy, there’s a lot more going on with this one. hombrepalo (779), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 25, 2008 Bomber! Hazy color with big head. Typical IPA nose to it, nothing over the top. More malty than hoppy. I was expecting a little more hop to it. NobleSquirrel (1120), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 17, 2008 Tap at Kuma’s. Nice looking beer, rich golden color. It’s pretty up there in rough bitterness, kind of similar to hopsickle, though not as complex. A dry IPA with a long bitterness but not enough hop flavor. Nice, but nothing spectacular. ryan (1781), Beltsville, Maryland, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 14, 2008 Hazy golden body with a medium sized white head. Spicy herbal, floral hop nose with light citrus, honey and dough. The flavor lightly sweet, moderately bitter with cotton candy, spicy herbal and citrus hops, flowers and honey. Medium body is round with moderate carbonation. Solid.
