Nice drop but I don’t think anything is going to compare that favourably to following a mint condition AleSmith IPA. Richer base malt, slightly more minerally, tending English almost, but with all the hop characters of a new world ale. Bluddy guid. ratman197 (3238), Arvada, Colorado, USA

Aromas of orange, lemon, pine and carmel. Palate was light bodied and dry. Flavors of carmel, pine and grapefruit with a lingering bitter finish. Snojerk321 (1999), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 12, 2008 On tap @ Tornado San Diego. Pours a clear golden yellow with a 2 finger white head. Bursting with floral and citrus hop aromas. A perfect balance between malt and hops on this one....well......maybe a bit heavier on the hops.....lol. fakepurseninja (785), Washington, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 24, 2008 Very similiar to the RR IPA, but seemed a little more tame in most areas. About the same drink. JohnnyJ (1343), Carlsbad, California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 23, 2008 A great IPA from Russian River. Refreshing and flavorful. Pours a slightly hazy gold/orange with fluffy white head. Citrus, lemon zest, grapefruit, floral hops, tropical fruit (mango), pine, caramel malt, and biscuits. I would drink this all the time if I could get a hold of it. bitbucket (2034), Kirkland, Washington, USA

Medium-to-light body and moderate carbonation. Grapefruit, floral and resin aroma. Sweet taste of caramel and oranges. Crisp finish. Nice stuff. JCB (1777), Durham, North Carolina, USA

Wow, so handsome, with a few floaties sitting in the moderate head. Absolutely booming citrus hop aroma too. Crisp and full bodied, with some surprising depth given how aggressive the hops are. Really excellent. Theis (3760), Denmark
