| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 3, 2009 Nice color; bronze, orange, amber, yellow. This thing is thick and natural, nicely full-bodied. The head dies quickly. Aroma is spicy, with wet earth and a little vegetation. When cold the aroma isn’t that strong. But the thickness belies some change will occur over warming. Initial flavors are a bit dull; a heaping of cloying sweetness and an overlay of pine and citrus make this chewy, but not in the best way. But overall it is a handmade, very natural feeling beer and that is good.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 9, 2009 Hazy copper/orange with a tan head. Crips citrus and herbal hops in the aroma with biscuit malt as well. Full body. Flavor is much like the aroma with the citrus and light herbal notes. Biscuit malts and light spicing finish this IP off. A bit different than normal IPAs. Not better or worse, really, just solid. Sparky27 (1596), Phoenix, Arizona, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 13/20 | Aug 19, 2009 ABV 7%; IBU 56; OG 1.066; SRM 7.8.
12oz bottle. Orange pour. Pine hop aroma. Nice sweet sugar malt aroma. Hints of citrus zest. Flavor is of an English-style IPA. Good malt backbone, sticky texture. Medium bodied. Some citrus hop flavors floating in there. Well balanced. Finishes with all of that citrus hop flavors. TearsforBeers (173), Ohio, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 12, 2009 Pours a nice vaguely reddish amber with white head. I get light aromas of brown sugar, coffee, chocolate, hops, and a slightly off aroma, maybe DMS. Flavor’s pretty good, I think it does have some DMS though. Malty with a decent spicy hop presence. Mouthfeel normal. Overall, pretty good. shp555 (1688), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
