| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 28, 2007 Clear amber in color with a thin persistent layer of white head. A light malty aroma is present, but the aroma is pretty muted overall. The taste is pretty much the same. A mild biscuity taste with a faint suggestion of some earthy hops. Pretty low-key even for an ESB. Still, a very clean and drinkable brew. raiderfost (158), virginia beach, Virginia, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 26, 2007 Bottle pours a hazy amber collor with nice head and lacing. Not amazing but a quality IPA.Very mild. KawaBomber (193), New Jersey, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 23, 2007 12oz Bottle: Clear coppery amber w/ a huge off-white head that leaves some great lacing behind. Mostly malts in the aroma w/ some spicy hops hanging in there. First taste: this beer is smooth, what I’ve come to expect from Sam Smith. Flavor is caramel malts w/ some spiciness. Not aggressively hopped, smoooooth...Very light hoppiness in the finish. I’m so used to super hoppy IPA’s that this seems very mild. Very smooth (I know I’ve said that about sixteen times here) & quite tasty. WillieV (191), Maryland, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 15, 2007 A solid beer, poured from a bottle with a thick head. This beer was really not what I expected and there was very little hop flavor. I thought it was an average beer. I probably wouldn’t buy it again. posikyle (165), Alabama, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 1, 2007 Pours copper color, nice looking, rapidly diminished head. Malty aroma, only a hint of hops. Not really the kind of IPA im used to, I would’ve prefered more hops, but overall a nicely balanced beer. Would recommend. jobyone (234), Charlotte, USA
