| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 4, 2009 Beautifull bottle in all it’s 24oz glory.
Clear deep amber with a huge dense white head. Blocky sticky lacing.
Big earthy woody hop aroma with stong mild light ly toasted mats.
Smooth thick palatte, woody soft hops that come it with a very decent IBU bite after a moment. Finishes wet and a little heavy. Long lasting bitter "burn"
Fairly strong and not the bright crisp west coast IPA. Bold and tasty.

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Jul 3, 2009 I’m really happy with this beer. There are plenty of hops, nice aroma, and the warm-all-over feeling I usually get from a Sierra Nevada brew. Uh...these are single serving bottles, right? joshpiledean (227), Ames, Iowa, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 2, 2009 Amber/copper pour, medium head. Aroma is caramel malt, cirtusy hops. Medium mouthfeel, caramel malts and strong hop bitterness that starts citrus and ends piney, a whole range of flavors meld together. A very well balanced IPA. All in all very nice! ajbitt (45), , Indiana, USA

Flavor: Thin, slightl malt, watery, bitter, gritty chalky, unrefined. Chalky finish. Palate: light, watery, gritty finish. Overall: aroma was interesting, but overall beer fell short in all areas. wish i could bottle swill like this and get people to buy it. I’m a huge palate guy and this left me more than wanting. dalek123 (103), Houston, Texas, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jun 30, 2009 Poured Golden amber with a poofy white head.
Nose is very run of the mill SN with an odd chemical scent. Unimpressive.
Taste is pretty blah, there is a slightly bmc flavor I get, tastes like it had some corn in it, slightly soapy, hops are there but clouded by these less than favorable notes. TearsforBeers (173), Ohio, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 28, 2009 Pours lightly cloudy orange amber with light tan head. Aromas of sweet, slightly citrus, slightly soapy hops and light malt come through. Flavor is great, forward but balanced bitter, resiny, grapefruit rindy, hops are first, followed by some sweet toasty malt, and ending with a very pleasant hop bitterness. The mouthfeel is just right - seems slightly fuller bodied than middle of the road. Overall, this is a very fine brew.
