| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 4, 2008 This is, how you say, a colossal disappointment. This ranks right up there with Summit IPA in terms of not goodness. I can’t figure out how this is an IPA. Super malty and flowery, minimal bitterness. Reasonably clear copperish color. Some roast character in the back end, but the bitterness is lacking. Meh. twindadplus2 (418), Wisconsin, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 22, 2008 Cloudy coppery brown with a good sized, creamy, off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt with a bit of sweet citrus. Flavor is grain and mildly tart citrus with a candy sugar and light piney bitterness at the end. A bit mild but definitely not a bad IPA unclemattie (2446), Georgia, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 4, 2008 12oz twist-off bottle. Light orange color, nice white fizzy head. Citrus, pine, woody aroma. Flavor of hopped cider. Finishes dry. Cereal flavors in the finish. pepsican (885), The Student Ghetto, Iowa, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 25, 2008 Pours a very hazy amber with a thin off white head. Aroma is light hops and some citrus. Flavor is grapefruit, hops, candy sugar, grain. Lightly carbonated, not much bitterness. Everything in this was very light. Maybe ipa lite? Not bad, not what I was expecting. shp555 (1751), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Mar 15, 2008 Pours a copper color with a white head. Aroma is soapy, grain, and some hops. Flavor is grainy, malty, and a mild bitter citrus hop finish. dm9831 (1168), Monee, Illinois, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Mar 6, 2008 pours a bubbly translucent brown, slight off-white head. hoppy grapefruit nose. the flavor has a slight bgrapefruit pucker, but nothing much else. a surprisingly non-complex brew. the bitter finish deos not make up for the simplicity of the taste. not bad, but too mild for an ipa. redlem (1155), Illinois, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Jan 26, 2008 The IPA from these guys. Pours a hazy sugared honey color with a rocky off white head. Some citrus in the nose, fruity. Watery body, no aftertaste, mild bitterness. Compared to their APA this is weak, as I much prefered the hop and malt aroma from that than this mess. holdenn (1454), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Nov 5, 2007 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear orange with a dense soapy beige head that laces down. Aroma is malty and biscuity with citrus and a touch of grain. Watery body, but ok flavors there. Caramel, citrus, doughy, earthy and pine hops. A little tannic. Slightly bitter a little off. Drying finish with hops lingering on the tongue. Definitely drinkable. But nothing great.
