| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 23, 2009 Growler, from brewery. Pours a clear copper body with a small fizzy off-white head that faded to a thin covering. The nose is nice fairly bright citrusy hops with a light caramel and bready malt base. Nice grapefruity hops take center stage on the flavor with minimal interference from the malt. A very drinkable IPA, rather hoppy, but without much harsh bitterness. Medium bodied with nice light carbonation. Lively hoppy finish lingers on just long enough to make you take another sip before it fades away. Overall, a very nice sessionable IPA.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 25, 2009 Draft at the brewpub. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Very grassy hop character, vine, soil and plant like greenery. Grassy with some bitter sweet hop resins. Caramel and pine to finish. Decent IPA. LilBeerDoctor (1542), East Setauket, New York, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 30, 2009 On tap at the brewery. Pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma of lots of citrus, grapefruit, tropical fruits, and caramel malts. Flavor of bitterness initially with some sweet citrus fruits in the finish. Well balanced, super easy drinking. Quite enjoyable...I could easily knock back several pints of this!

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 18, 2009 Tap at Earth Bread + Brewery. Deep copper colour with a thick pillowy head. Aroma is lightly citrusy with a bit of orange and lemon balm. Softly sweet with a musty dankness and a bit of honeyed sweetness. The hops are a little bit soapy/cheesey and there is also a bit of acidity toward the finish. Kind of a mixed bag that doesn’t really work for me. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 7, 2009 This is my cherry popper for One Guy brewing, and when I think of Berwick, I think fo former high school phenom Quarterback Ron Powlus, who went on to relative mediocrity with Notre Dame. The pour is turbid orange with off-white head. The nose is heavy orangy, tangeriney, and piney citrus and hops. The flavor is citric and hoppy, a bit like a mix of 2 parts pulp-free orange juice, one part grapefruit juice, and 7 parts Ithaca Flower Power. A nice introduction from these guys, who have what it takes tio make it big, with a solid initial effort. TomDecapolis (3218), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Mar 5, 2009 Tap at CAH. Pours a hazy golden with a medium creamy bubbly white head that laced. Aroma of bready malt, pine, some citrus notes, lightly floral and a little malty sweetness. Flavor of grapefruit, pine resin, bready, lots of hop bitterness and flavor.
