| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 2, 2008 A yellow appearance with a thin soapy white head. The aroma is lemons, perfume, and grapefruit. The flavor contains a good balance of malt and hops. A lot of lemon sticks out in the flavor. Not very aggressive for an IPA but a good beer nonetheless. gabrielsyme (66), Ohio, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 2, 2008 On draft at Savor in DC (5/17/08). The spruce/pine hops dominated this one for me. Some bitterness in the finish, but not much else. Hank1980 (764), Athens, Georgia, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 1, 2008 Great IPA in a great bottle. A nice mix of a big west coast and and english IPA. Aroma of citrus and pine hops. Flavor is also very hoppy, citrus and pine, with malt backing. Finish is hoppy bitter. A great IPA. soyorganic (217), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 28, 2008 Bottle: poured a hazy copper color with a huge head. Smell of citrus and pine hops. Heavy hop flavor with a citrus taste. Very strong up front but not much of the lingering aftertaste. Has an earthy flavor. Good IPA but not my favorite. drjay44 (792), Salida, Colorado, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 23, 2008 12-oz. Thanks, Skoi! This one saved the day for ipas a little bit. Cloudy orange body with some brightness to it, and a nice modest creamy white head. Dusty peach nose--not quite full-on into grapefruit territory, but that’s lurking just around the corner from here. Nice caramel underneath the mid-palate, with fairly generous peachy tang on top of that. Crisp, refreshing finish. Good stuff. argo0 (6907), Washington DC, USA

Aroma is moderately sweet, juicy grapefruit, some pineapple/pine. Taste is medium sweet, pine/grapefruit, orange/floral. Medium body, some resin.
