| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 8/20 | May 6, 2009 The aroma is very hoppy with citrus, pine, yeast, bread, and malt. The appearance is deep amber and hazy with a nice head. The flavor is like the aroma but too astringent. The palate is smooth. Overall a quality beer that just doesn’t taste as good to me as it could. Palidor19 (1785), Brandon, Florida, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 6, 2009 lots of herbal aroma taste is highly grassy, piny and even a touch soapy. the malts are crisp while there is an overwhelming sensation of hops goodness. touch of wood at the end.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | May 5, 2009 Amber, cloudy, vibrant. Looks nice. Herbal nose with slight papaya...light orangey notes. Minty, tobaccoey herbal hops, start woody and dry. The malts in this one are toasty initially with some residual sweetness in the back. The problem for me is that as this one warms those sticky, chewy malts become dominant. The beer quickly loses all semblance of drinkability. Disappointing.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 5, 2009 Lovely looking brew, opaque hazy bright orange. Smells chewy and earthy as opposed to bright and tropical, which would have been my preference. The pineapple hidden in the background is obscured by the chewy earthy dullness. Decent body. Good variety of hop flavors. Too earthy for my personal taste but it’s quaffable enough and hits the hopspot. Pretty cool effort, very American. Arayaga2 (976), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 5, 2009 Hazy orange with a centimeter of off-white head. Aroma is citrus and pine, which carries intensely into the dry, pithy, almost vinously alcoholic taste with a mild honey component. Mouthfeel is thick with hop oils. $9/6pk SynergyXJ (506), Blacksburg, Virginia, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | May 5, 2009 Bottle, #474. Hazy orange pour with decent head. Rich piney hop aroma. Citrus and floral hop flavor. Great IPA!! urbnhautebourg (974), Annapolis, Maryland, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 5, 2009 Fits the style beautifully. Big and sticky and thick. You need to be in the mood for something this sweet and hoppy, but it is a very nicely done version.
