| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 7, 2009 Sent as an extra from dfschmeke. Thanks! This was a tasty IPA. The nose had lots of citrus and floral hops with a touch of sweetness hidden under the great hoppy nose. Pours hazy golden orange with a thin head and some good lace. The flavor is initially nice and citrusy, pretty fruity, some underlying sweet malty notes, and a long dry bitter finish. Lots of mouth coating resins. Good stuff! kseecs16 (914), Naperville, Illinois, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 4, 2009 Draft. Pours a hazy light amber color with a medium sized off white head. The aroma was a burst of fresh citrusy hops, grapefruit, pine, and some sweet malt. The flavor is more fresh citrus hops, grapefruit, moderately sweet malt, herbal, pine, heavy dry bitter finish. The bitterness lingers for a while. Medium bodied, rough at the start, but very enjoyable. demitriustown (708), Shelby Township, Michigan, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 2, 2009 12 oz bottle: Aroma is nice piny hop scent, citrus, sour, and a light caramel malt note in the background. Appearance is a very lightly cloudy golden with a hint of amber poking through with a medium sized white head that lingered. Taste is wonderfully bitterm hops, pine, on the backend some malts poking through. Palate is exciting once it hits your tongue, mouthfeel in medium, and aftertaste has a medium hop characteristic. Overall, Pretty darn good stuff in my honest opinion. I liked it. Cheers! Bullit (1392), Glasgow, Scotland

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 29, 2009 12oz bottle traded for at DLD. pours a very clear, golden orange with a thin, white head. aroma is excellent with fresh, citrusy hop notes of grapefruit and orange with very nice floral and pine elements backed by a touch candied sugar sweetness. flavor is quite good as well and follows the aroma with bitter, citrus hops up front, and a nice nutty, malt balance with a floral hop finish. palate is crisp and refreshing with solid carbonation. overall, a very nice IPA. daknole (3032), Scottsdale, Arizona, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 28, 2009 Poured at DLD. Very damn good. Copper pour. Small white head. Tons of resinous and citrus hops. I smell some malt...almost more than I would have exptected. The hops jump out and tons of grapefruit and pine flavors join a really strong malt backbone. Almost seems like an IIPA to me. Very nice.
