Has a moderate aroma of citrus, wood, and maybe some tobacco in there as well. The body is slightly syrupy. The palate mixes resiny bitterness with the sticky crystal maltiness of a much bigger beer. Piney, cologne-like finish.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 27, 2004 (draft) Crystal clear, light amber body; off-white head. Aroma is moderately sweet, grapefruit. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit, light caramel. Medium body. Definitely the highlight of this brewer -- nicely balanced, not-too-over-the-top IPA. hopdog (5604), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA

Poured a medium and slightly hazy amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of citrus, floral green hoppiness, and pine with some caramel in the background. Tastes of pine, citrus, and light caramel. hopscotch (5495), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 26, 2005 Bottle... Murky, golden ale with a mid-sized, rocky, eggshell head. Excellent, creamy retention. Breadsy aroma with lots of orange pekoe and black tea. A whisper of lemon and sassafrass. Intensely bitter flavor with no hint of malty sweetness. Some grapefruit and lemon rind. Medium bodied and fizzy. Finishes bitter, astringent and dry. Too heavy on the hops and too light on the malt. Thanks go out to Scraff for sharing his bottle!

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 13, 2005 Cloudy orange beer with a thin white head. Resiny hop aroma, light grapefruit. Flavour is well balanced, hoppy, long bitter finish. Pine and grapefruit. Light crystal malt is apparent here as well. Well-made, but pretty typical PNW IPA. ¾ (4999), Colorado, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 3, 2005 Updated: May 7, 200512oz bottle. Rich, toasted bread and sour orange aroma, fuesal alcohol noticed, along with a burnt caramel malt aroma. Flavor is almost identical to the nose: burnt caramel malts, caustic citrus, and fuesal notes similar to a homebrew. Definitely has a twang. The palate is a bit too undeveloped, just harsh hops with no balance.
