| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 15, 2009 22oz bottle via Secret Santa Summer 2009-Pours a clear amber with a large beige head. Nose is mild..not much happening... lemony and alcoholic. Taste is tea (crystal malts), some toffee, orange, lemon, pine and grassy hops. Body is light, carbonation is medium. A bit thin. An almost average IPA. JorisPPattyn (5192), Antwerpen, Belgium
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 4, 2009 Explosive gushing to huge, yellow, dense head over hazy orange beer. C-hops, bit of citruszeste, ureum and bit cheesy. Good C-hops again for flavour, but again a tad cheesy. Light green spring leaves. Very well-carbonated, slick, medium bodied. Very nice IPA, nothing boastful, but quite OK. Big thanks to CK! jcwattsrugger (5581), Florida and, New Jersey, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 4, 2009 Updated: Jul 11, 2009Bottle at PPRBSG09. Pours a clear burnt orange. Aroma is very malty with raisiny notes. Flavor is sweet initially (some watermelon?) and very malty. Somewhat bland and the palate is on the harsh side. Meh.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 1, 2009 Bottle: Golden pour with a wispy head. Lightly sweet aroma of pale malts meshes with mild vegetal/subdued U.S. hop character- Light on the palate- nutty character in the flavor with some peanut brittle sweetness but it remains dry with a grassy finish. Nothing great, not too bad. fredandboboflo (1431), East Setauket, New York, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jun 1, 2009 Bottle. Aroma caramelly and malty, toasted, maybe even a bit burnt, lightly citrus bittering hops. Flavor again caramelly with balancing bitter, mildly citrus hops. Ok, certainly not a standout.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 31, 2009 PPRBSG09. Bottle, pours a golden orange body with a white head. More like an English bitter than an ipa, some spicy bitter earth hoppiness and a hint of citrus. eh.
