Slightly hazy dark gold with a light tan head and some lace. Reminds me in flavor of the Mendocino White Hawk IPA. Very nice with good balance. A nice IPA. sliffy (2012), Columbus, Ohio, USA

The aroma is weedy and malty. Simple. The flavor is bitter grapefruit hops and spruce with simple caramel malts. Bitter average palate. aobecksy (661), Middle of no where, Ohio, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 22, 2007 Pours an orange-tea into the glass. There is a nice frothy head that diminishes to a ring and leaves thick, sticky lace. The nose has some citrus, caramel and floral notes. The flavors are of heavy grapefruit, sour caramel malt and a lasting peppery finish. The mouthfeel is sticky and oily. The grapefruit and hop contingencies work quite well together, combining great notes of an IPA. Norton (296), The Fan, Richmond, Virginia, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Jun 18, 2007 Bottle.Zzzzzz. Heavy on the stomach. Ultrageneric citrusy bitter aftertaste. A beer you will soon forget. It’s kinda sweet. I can’t think of anything nice to say about this one so I will keep quiet. A solid "C" student if it were in grade school. obguthr (1032), Poquoson, Virginia, USA
