| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jul 14, 2007 tap at the downtown location. cloudy tan with a good head. smells of dusty citrus hops. smooth at first with a bitter grapefruit finish. muted hops until the finish. i get bitterness without much hop flavor here. not bad, not what i expected either. detroiter (958), Euphoria, Minnesota, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 11, 2007 Pours a lightly hazed orange gold. Topped by half an inch or so of almost white head. Good head retention, very good thick lacing. Mild aroma suggests caramel malt and a hint of hops...
But the flavor is the other way around. Tangy tangerine/lime hops, and lots of ’em. A little grapefruit pith. A little peach pit. Just enough caramel malt for a strong backbone, all the while showcasing the hops. Long bitter citrus aftertaste - almost ashy (which I like). Medium body, a little too-gentle carbonation in the growler. I didn’t notice this on tap. MIBRomeo (1966), Wisconsin, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 2, 2006 a dark pee yellow color w/ a whispy head (white) and some nice lacing. Smooth well coated palate lightly creamy. Fruity aroma lightt citrus and apricots w/ some light carmels. Flavor is a light floral hop in the finish apricots and other fruits as well. Very mellow and easy to drink. I like it. sersdf (1000), chicago, Illinois, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 30, 2006 Surprising citrus hops in this guy. Very strong aroma and flavor with the hops but it lacked maltiness. Therefore, it was a little thin in body. pretty good. holdenn (1454), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Aug 26, 2006 On tap in Chicago: A yellow golden beer with a small head on top. The aromas are very floral with grapefruit and citrus flavors. A decent amount of hops and malt, but its in real need of a little more alcohol with them. The flavors of this beer disapear shortly after you set your glass down. RAYBOY01 (1873), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 25, 2006 Contrary to the story Cornfield was told, I heard from my bartender that this hopped-up version of the corporate IPA was named after a winner of a charity "your-name-on-our-beer" auction. Much better version of this IPA. Huge citrus and pine notes with a well balanced caramel malt bottom. Finishes with a nice juicey citrus flourish followed by a dry alcohol twist. Good!
