| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Sep 27, 2009 Poured from 12 oz bottle. Nice "assertive" IPA that finally has enough hops for me. Sierra Nevada’s regular IPA is good, but this is a step up in flavor and ABV. MattShizzle (385), Bernville, Pennsylvania, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 23, 2009 It poured a hazy golden-orange liquid. It had a strong sweet smell of grassy hops and caramell. It tasted of grassy hops, grapefruit and had a very high bitterness. Lacked some roundness but besides that a very nice IPA. I wanted more ;) Bonster (113), Jersey Shore, New Jersey, USA
