| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 30, 2008 Smooth, slightly spiced, full of hoppy goodness but not coming off too strong, crisp and refreshing. Pours a light cloudy copper color with a creamy head. Actually kinda impressed. I judge a beer by the label and this label was kinda boring but the beer wasn’t , will probably buy this one again.

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 3, 2008 (Bottle) Pours a dark amber color with a decent sized white head. Aroma of light crisp hops and bready malts. Taste includes a lot of unexpected maltiness. Bitter and sour finish. So-so body and high carbonation. Not that great. jetzler (622), oklahoma city, Oklahoma, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 2, 2008 Bottle Pours a copper color with a off white head, light aroma some pine but quite light. Some malts add a touch of sweetness initially but if finishes dry. Nothing big reminds me more of an english IPA than an American. Not bad but not great either. Soonah (970), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 30, 2008 Poured a pale copper color with a fairly short white head. Minimal lacing. The aroma was spicy, piney hops with some floral notes. The flavor was light malt with pine and floral hops dominated. Some pepper in there too. The mouthfeel was clean and the finish was expectedly dry. FishManLA (300), Abita Springs, Louisiana, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 28, 2008 Fairly typical American IPA, and that’s a good thing. Color is orange/amber with a fairly large foamy tan head and nice lacing. Nose of fresh baked bread. Flavor is archtypically hoppy-bitter and somewhat tart. Finish is the typical IPA hoppy/bitter with lacings of astringency. glennmastrange (865), hobe sound, Florida, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 25, 2008 Bottle. Light note of straw for the malt, moderate hop aromas of herb/grass, light seat for the yeast, with wood, vegetable/corn and sulfur in the background. Head is average sized, frothy, slightly off white withvery little lacing and is mostly lasting. Color is clear orange tan. Flavor starts light to moderately acidic and sour, then finishes lightly acidic and moderately bitter. Palate is light to medium, dry with a lively carbonation. It finishes lightly astringent. Not horrible, but definitely not IPAish.
