| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 22, 2007 12oz. bottle. Fairly fresh, fruity, citric and lightly floral aroma, some faint pine and grapefruit noted. Vibrant medium copper color, clear, with a fine, lasting, creamy head. Flavor is similarly hop-focused, these being clean, bright and citric with touches of spice and and some gentle, sweetly toasted malts. The Cascades really seem to come through on the finish. Palate is slick, drying and perhaps a tad thin, body is light-medium. Highly drinkable. Darkover (1316), Columbus, Ohio, USA

Strong aroma of caramel malts with some lemony citrus hops in the background. Flavor of sweet caramel malts and some citrus hops. roder60 (1030), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 18, 2008 Pours a nice copper amber color, slightly hazy, with a nice amount of foamy white head. Aroma smells like a bowl full of recently cut open grapefruit. Grapefruit completely dominates the entire aroma. Flavor a bit week and watery, though some citrusy hops. Overall, quite drinkable. goldtwins (4084), Nesconset, New York, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Apr 25, 2008 Nice hazy orange tinted amber coloured body with a dense tan head - this is exactly how an IPA should look! Aroma of strong hops, grapefruit, yeast, alcohol and the slightest hint of nuts. Medium-bodied; Mild hoppy flavour up front with a good malt backbone then showing some brighter hops near the end. Aftertaste shows a light bitterness, some apricots and a touch of yeast. Overall, a very drinkable and somewhat bittering IPA - not too much hops, but definitely enough to make this a pretty solid IPA. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Goebel Liquor in Wichita, Kansas on 24-April-2008. ¾ (4999), Colorado, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 10, 2008 12oz bottle. Sharp piney honey hops in the nose, with a clean and unmuddled taste. It’s straight hops and little in the way of malt, which is nice, and the hops are moderately bitter honey and pine cones, with a little faint bit of butter thrown in for kicks. Sure, it’s not the best IPA, but it’s made to style and does the job: simple, clean, hoppy. bu11zeye (5621), Frisco, Texas, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 20, 2007 (Bottle) Pours a lightly hazy amber body with a rocky off-white head. Aroma of citrus, caramel, and some light toastiness. Flavor of citrusy hops, caramel, and florals. sayravai (3771), Helsinki, Finland
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 15, 2009 (Draught) Hazy amber with a smallish, firm head. Lots of conifer in the aroma, with some caramely malt. Somewhat yeasty flavor with caramely malt and conifer-hoppy notes. Quite sparingly hopped for an IPA. Almost medium body, quite carbonated. Ok, but that’s not quite enough for an IPA.
