Aroma of apples and some malts. Flavor is bitterwith some acidic notes. Light body. Watery texture. Lively carbonation. Slight metalic flavor in the finish. Not all that impressive.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 5, 2007 Draught. Pours bright amber with off white head. Aroma is floral hop with malt undertones. Bitterness is excellent for the style. Decent IPA. jcr (1177), Jasper, Indiana, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 4, 2007 Dark golden pour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity and sweet aroma of apples and apricots and alcohol. Spicy flavor, nicely bittered. But underneath is a comfortable fruit sweetness. Medium body and sticky finish. Fizzy carbonation. Overall, this stands apart from its IPA/APA cascade brothers — and nicely so. LearninBeer (209), Sterling Heights, Michigan, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 3, 2007 The aroma is a little hoppy, slight citrus smell. the head is creamy, off white, fair lacing, mostly diminishing head and the color is a orange/brown. the initial flavor is a little acidic with a touch of bitter, the finish is short to average. The body is light and watery a little fizzy carbonation, it doesn’t have any character. beerinmarch (2829), Washington, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Feb 22, 2007 Intersting IPA, although i’m not sure fuggles alone make a great IPA, very earthy and slightly herbal note. I didn’t get the fruity notes that they describe, more just earthy hops and bitterness. I felt this had far to much hop bitterness for the amount of floralness, the ratio was a bit off. The malts were very light and didn’t seem to add much flavor. Also very light on the body. EithCubes (2152), Indiana, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 20, 2007 Bottle. Funky, lightly sweet, lightly vegetal aroma with plenty of Fuggles. Pale orange body with a rocky beige head. Initial taste of sweetness gives way to a bready, earthy bitterness which is far too restrained for an IPA - it’s barely there. Delicious sweetness of Fuggles dominates. Aftertaste can’t make up its mind between sweetness and dryness, and it would be inaccurate to settle on the latter. Very smooth mouthfeel on a thinner-than-medium body. Off-balanced but very drinkable. HopDevil1979 (117), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Feb 16, 2007 Pours dark amber, see through filtered, with a medium head. Smells of faint hops and grass. Tastes watery and bland with subtle hop notes and very little sweetness. Washes off the palate like ice water DirtyMartini (194), Los Angeles, Alabama, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Feb 16, 2007 poured a very nice copper color with a nice fluffy head...and thats where the compliments end. very little aroma...which fittingly...leads to very little flavor. honestly, this could be any light amber ale with some extra hops thrown in (very little extra) and i wouldnt know the difference. poured it out after less than half of the 12 oz bottle
