| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Mar 20, 2008 22. oz bomber. Pours an amber orange with a huge frothy head that settles a bit and hangs around till the very end. Left a heavy lacing all the way down the glass. Nice nose of primarily citrus with pine. Nice bitter hop flavor that hits you immediately then softens on the finish. Overall a very nice IPA. BillKismet (1944), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Mar 16, 2008 Bronze with a decent head. Easy hop aroma, but was expecting much more. Better than average bitterness, but lacking floral hop qualities. Medium-bodied, possibly a bit thin. Only average for the west coast. riversideAK (2736), Shoreline, Washington, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 16, 2008 Huge head went down to a lasting fluffy top. Goldish orange color. Aroma is light citrus and earthy leafy hops. Some gritty bitterness, very herbal, grassy. Mostly hoppy, not a lot of balance. Far better than the Red, it was not as enjoyable as I had hoped. scrizzz (1293), kirkland, Washington, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Feb 23, 2008 Slightly hazy amber orange, monstrous rocky head that lasts and coats the glass very well. Citric, peachy aroma with lesser notes of grass. Medium bodied, aggressive bitterness. I wish it had different hops, not my taste here. SuzyGreenberg (1368), Seattle, Washington, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 3, 2008 22. Clear medium amber with thick, rocky white head and plenty of lace. Nice forward pine and spruce nose. Medium body, a little on the flat side. Pine, resin, and a little caramel and tea backbone. Long piney finish. Not really creative, and has issues that could be easily fixed to boost its score a fair bit.
