| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Feb 17, 2008 Draught. Pours golden, semi-cloudy with a nice head. The aroma is heavy with generous grapefruit. I get a little mary jane and some caramel in the scent as well. The body is medium with loads and loads of hops right up front, smacking my palate. Deep citrus and pine dry delight the tongue while some hints of crackers and caramel provide balance. This is a very, very nice American styled IPA. Excellent flexing of the PNW hops on this one. jcwattsrugger (5563), Florida and, New Jersey, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 9, 2008 on tap-pours a rich retaining off white head and slightly hazy gold color. Aroma is somewhat bitter pine hops-some citrus/perfumy (cascade+). Taste is great sweet citrus/then pine hops-some bitterness, good medium malt backbone. OK/mild carbonation. 00cobraR (1098), Greensboro, North Carolina, USA

With the discription i was given, I thought this was going to be a better version of the pale ale. I was wrong. Upon tasting, the first thing that came to mind is that this is no APA, this is an IPA. And a damn good one at that. Pours out a nice coppery color with a small beige head. aroma has a big hop note to it with a nice malt and citrus balance. Flavor is much the same with a nice resiny hop finish to it. I really like this beer. Nice job guys! 19641948 (491), Greensboro, North Carolina, USA

Succulent aromas of citrusy fruit juice. Caramel malt flavors succumb to an onslaught of citrus hop character. A tweak on their Elm Street IPA that happened to be brewed during a full moon, this beer exhibits a touch more "American IPA" notes than its English-style Elm Street IPA counterpart.
