| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 15, 2009 (Bottled) Clear amber with a medium, lacy head. Slightly stingy, flowery-nutty-hoppy aroma with grainy-gluey notes. Flavor is better with reasonably fresh, aromatic hops, and some bitterness in the finish. Medium body, soft carbonation. Slightly harsh, but not bad. TBone (6799), Pori, Finland

Clear amber color, good beige head, Fresh hoppy (pine, grapefruit) aroma. Medium-bodied. Piney-grassy hoppy flavor, sweet malts. For now I think quite similar to some other SN products. oh6gdx (8855), Vasa, Finland

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 15, 2009 Updated: Oct 18, 2009I don’t...it’s a Sierra Nevada so...sure their beer is usually pretty decent but...yum. The best beer for the price on the market. Beautiful pillowy white head, well balanced flavor erring on the side of bitter. Considering the source (and I say this as a Sierra Nevada fan) it’s excellent. mesperon (139), Jersey City, New Jersey, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | May 14, 2009 Nice clear amber with decent white head. Full mouthfeel, not too carbonated. Nice resiny, herby hop aroma. Good hope bite full of a variety of hop sensations on the middle of the tongue, finishes with a great, resiny, herby grassy hop bitterness. Great, wouldn’t expect anything less from Sierra Nevada WVHouseofBeer (380), Morgantown, West Virginia, USA

Good tastes of citrus hops, and it went down very smooth. A very good IPA. LC dreambrother (19), Bemidji, Minnesota, USA
