| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Feb 10, 2003 Has a copper color with a good bit of carbonation and a hop smell. Taste is of hops, but then finishes with a sharp almost metallic bitterness. Overall this is not a bad brew, but it is my least favorite IPA. dberger624 (1028), Phila, Pennsylvania, USA

Light golden hue. The malts are only there for a second, light to medium bodied, tons of weird bitterness....Long drawn out finish. I dont know, this is kinda strange. Maybe my bottle is weird or somethin. Ill have to come back for a different try once we get some new stock in. legion242 (1586), Richardson, Texas, USA
