| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 12, 2008 Had this a while back on tap at the Brickskeller in Washington DC. Copper amber color with a lacing white head. Aroma is gushing with hops, plenty of citrus (oranges and limes) and a mellow pine aroma. Flavor is excellent, loads of citrus but also a tropical fruit flavor and a real earthy tartness to it. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients in this brew. Great on tap, I hope it’s as good in a bottle. waolsen (1222), Littleton, Colorado, USA

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 2, 2008 A really awesome beer, aroma is beautifully hoppy with some citrus and pine, faboulus flavor, perhaps not as well balaced stone ipa but i find it a bit more interesting, a really good beer ilherps (226), Carbondale, Illinois, USA
| 4.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | May 1, 2008 Updated: Jan 30, 2009This beer is excellent. Pours a reddish copper with a thick white head. Aroma is citric, like fresh cut oranges, and as others have said, also has slight hints of what you think might be marijuana. The fresh hop taste is incredible, I found myself looking at my glass after sips and thinking, well done sierra. The hop flavor is perfect and deep, so far this is the best of this style I’ve tasted. partyninja (17), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Apr 27, 2008 Beautiful, rich, sweet flavor. The hops are not overpowering. This might be the best beer of all time. Lothore (276), California, USA

A- Pours a deep caramely orange color with a huge, thick, off white head that leaves tons of lacing and sticks around for quite a while. Low to medium carbonation apparent.
S- Big, hoppy smell with a sweet citrusey scent that is almost an afterthought.
T- Starts off sweet and continues on piney and a bit bitter with huge grapefruitey citrus notes.
M- Thick but inexplicably a bit watery feeling with lots of carbonation.
D- Fairly drinkable brew. I love the grapefruit, citrusey qualities but it might be a little bit on the bitter and thick side to be very drinkable for a pale ale.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 25, 2008 Bottle. A good solid IPA with more caramel present than average. Well rounded beer- creamy and hoppy. Easy to drink and one of their better beers. Well crafted. elmatador00 (518), j-action-ville, North Carolina, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 23, 2008 Pours a clear dark brown with a frothy off white head. Aroma is certainly hop. Tastes of caramel, huge presence of bitter hops. Palate is medium to light bodied with a super bitter aftertaste.
