| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 18, 2007 The aroma was nicely malty with a strong caramel backbone coupled with lightly citrusy and resinous hops. Fruity with a citrus punch and a bready nature. The beer poured into the glass very slightly hazy golden amber with an off-white head which rose medium and fell to lace the glass. The flavor was malty with a lightly spicy hop flavor and a decent level of bittering. The hop flavors were muted and melded but contained grassy and resinous characteristics coupled to pine and citrus. The flavor was spicy and interesting. The finish was dry with lasting bittering into the aftertaste. The body was medium-full and the carbonation somewhat low. The beer was creamy on the palate. A nice IPA, definitely with a high level of bittering, but never offensive and well balanced. 22 ounce bottle. bu11zeye (5535), Frisco, Texas, USA

Pour has a shade of golden amber at the bottom and turns into a darker ruby-amber towards the bottomr of the head which is full and of a yellowish cream color. Sudsy lace. Nose is both rich will brown sugar and sweet caramel malts, but also a good dosing of piney and earthy hops make themselves present. Tropical fruits also noticeable as the beer warms. Flavor is very hoppy and bitter and surprisingly one-demensional. Very hop juicy. Slight note of alcohol in the bitter, yet clean, finish. johnadam2002 (529), Hainesport, New Jersey, USA
