| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 29, 2009 Amber color with a small white head. Mildly hoppy nose. Malty backbone with a surprisingly subtle hop flavor. This really is more of a hoppy ESB than an IPA. Disappointing. Not bad, but not as rich as expected. decaturstevo (1997), decatur, Tennessee, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 13, 2009 A copper pour with tight white head and lace. Aroma has a hint of hops and very light maltiness. Flavor is a perfumy semi sweet malt start that finishes dry. A fruity like flavor as well as a hint of abv. Medium bodied with decent carbonation. A tad thin. An odd unit. hirigalzkar (570), Stockholm, Sweden
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | May 9, 2009 Bottle. Malty. Gives you no real hop kick. Too sweet. Chemical. One of the worst IPA:s i’ve ever had. ScottyP (314), Brentwood, Tennessee, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | May 2, 2009 Pours clear orange with white head. Malty aroma with hint of bread and fruityness. Similar taste but something is missing here. Did not like the finish either. Next! curly (598), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Apr 14, 2009 Slight hazy orange with a beige head. Vinegar like aroma with a plain taste that is bordering sour. Not bitter, sweet and cloying. emacgee (1872), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Apr 7, 2009 Thanks durhambeer for sharing. Pours a copper brew with a creamy dirty white head. The nose was strangely sour, cardboard, some sweetness, no distinguishable hop aroma although something was going on. Bob is right when he says it blows. durhambeer (1213), Durham, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Apr 6, 2009 Bottle from Trader Joe’s. This beer pretty much blows. Nothing like an IPA. Very malty; more like pale ale, I guess. Not much hop presence. We decided it tasted kind of like corn chips in a dip gone bad. Butters (1650), Virginia, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Apr 5, 2009 Sampled at the Impromptu Butter’s 6th cellar clearance. Clear orange pour with minimal ring of whitish head. Weak Light apple nose with some bready qualities. Flavor has a light apple hop flavor and caramel malt to balance. Sweet sticky finish. Pretty boring actually.
