| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Mar 18, 2009 Poured a brown/red color with a big white frothy head. Aroma is caramel, slightly hoppy and fruity. Taste is fruit, yeast, a small amount of hops. Not bitter at all. This is not the type of IPA I’m used to, the bitterness isn’t there and the smell isn’t right. If your a big fan of IPA’s I wouldn’t recommend it. Lowe1983 (1029), Fairborn, Ohio, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 17, 2009 Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is of caramel malts, and a hint of citrus and floral hops. Flavor is malty at first with a little bit of some hop characteristics on the finish. Really nothing special with this one. badlizard (2380), Berkeley, California, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 8, 2009 Lighter pour than expected from an IPA. Also a lighter taste. Provides for a pleasant drinking experience. ROGUE (700), Newark, Delaware, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Mar 3, 2009 12oz bottle. Poured a hazy, burnt orange with some minor lacing and a thin head. Aromas are a bit weak with typical hops and florals. Nothing too impressive. Taste had a somewhat metallic bitterness to it wrapped around the bitter hop characteristics. Decent mouthfeel helped make this a crisp, refreshing IPA. Overall, not too bad, but pretty average. hopheaven (85), Eureka, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 2, 2009 Has a very light, fragrant and earthy hop aroma complemented by an estery, mildly phenolic yeast character that smells like pears with a dash of cinnamon. Tastes potent and green, like a crisp, fresh salad mix sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. There’s a subtle bitterness and a blade of grass floats on the finish along with a lingering pine spice. jvmiller (532), Bel Air, Maryland, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Feb 28, 2009 Very light aroma, but the flavor is solid. Its got a very good clean crispness, Bitter, but not bruising, light earthy, slightly fruity. Body is not weak, fairly full and good finish. Tad watery, but that’s my only complaint. I was surprised by this one, don’t understand what the big complaint is. Doppelganger (1353), Dry County, Arkansas, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Feb 10, 2009 Bottle, from Liquor World in Fayetteville. Copper, modest layer of rough white bubbles. Mild resin hop nose, a little rustic orange peal. Subdued, slightly minty hop bitterness.black pepper around the edges. Uncomplicated malt backdrop of sweetness. As an APA, alright. But this is nothing like an IPA.
