| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 22, 2007 Clear amber color with a decent head. Aromas of plum and raisins. Hops are a little muted. Taste is smooth and slightly sweet. Not sure how old this bottle is but that may explain the muted hop profile. Slight caramel and candi sugar flavors. BustedFlat (553), Edina, Minnesota, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 20, 2007 12 once bottle. Shaker glass. Amber with a big tan head. Aroma was of grassy hops and roast malt. Flavor was piney, hoppy with some malt. Some bitter and burnt notes. One of the better IPA’s I’ve tried. Cletus (5057), Connecticut, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 18, 2007 Bottle courtesy of Stine. Pours copper/amber and opaque with a thin white head and decent lacing. Smells of oranges, perfume, malt and dough. Tastes of tea, mild citrus and some complimentary bitterness. Mouthfeel is slick with a bitter finish. Average. sliffy (2012), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 9, 2007 Bottle thanks to Iowaherkeye: Pours a copper color with an off white head. Aroma, citrus and earthy hops, with a caramel background. Flavor, caramel up front, some breadyness, a bit of citrus, an earthy bitterness, but it almost finishes sweet. Pretty solid stuff.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 8, 2007 Bottle tasted at a tasting on April 1st and again at the WBF on April 28th. Not incredibly hoppy, but what is there is juicy and sweet. Nice malt balance. Another winner from new glarus. Driftwood6 (214), USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 3, 2007 Not as hoppy as FFF Alpha King. New Glarus is a little more conservative with their styles. An above average hoppy beer-- but not extreme hops. A touch better than Goose Island IPA but not quite as flavorful as Bell’s Two Hearted Ale. BeerBelcher (943), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 25, 2007 This beer is the best New Glarus beer I’ve yet had, and is a very nice IPA.
This beer pours a slightly hazy copper color with good head formation, which sticks around quite well. Aroma is that of sweet hops, and is mild yet quite good. Flavor is quite smooth, yet a pleasing sweet citrus-y hopiness (like pineapple). Mouthfeel is not watery, but is a bit flat, but still pleasant. troyc (1175), Lubbock, Texas, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 16, 2007 (Bottle) Pours an amber color with a large white head and good lacing. Sweet aroma with a small amount of citrus and raspberry. I actually got some raspberry in the taste as well. The moderate amount of hop flavor is well balanced by some caramel and spice. A good all around brew, but not as hoppy as I expected for their IPA.
