| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 9, 2008 Bottle thanks to riversideAK. Pours a cloudy gold with small white head. Nice fruit, grass and hoppy nose. Flavor has nice big rip of floral hops that mellows away to more of a bittering hop that catches you in the back of the mouth. beerinmarch (2810), Washington, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 5, 2008 Hood River Hops Fest 2008. They had a triple dry-hopped version on tap. Big floral citrus hop nose. This was really nice, all the dry hoping gave this a enormous hop flavor without a palate-destroying bitterness. Spicy and resiny in the finish, the citrus hops have an almost orange candy-like quality. Taverner (861), San Ramon, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 17, 2008 Decent mild IPA. Grassy nose and some nice back-of-the tongue bittering hops, followed by a biscuity finish. Not too bitter, but makes a point. Pour is golden/caramel with white head.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 17, 2008 22 oz. bottle from Bottleworks. Pours clear bright, orangey amber with a moderate whitish head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of rich fruity malts, with orange juice, caramel and pine. Flavor is also rich and malty, with a nice balancing of brash hops, citrus rind, spruce and herbs. Medium to full body and gently tingly carbonation. This is my idea of a great NW IPA, huge malts and huge hops - hooray! anders37 (4747), Malmö, Sweden
