| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 5, 2009 I picked this up at the Binny’s in Orland Park, Illinois. It poured a clear coppper body with a tall ecru head and provided loads of lacework. The aroma is strong with pine, grapefruit rind and the pulp itself, floral scents, and a touch of orange zest. From time to time, a bit of caramelly sweetness oozed through. The flavor was much the same, possessing a sturdy caramel-bread-toffee malt backbone supporting a strong dosage of hoppy flavors and bitterness. The finish was bitter and dry, reflective of this hop-head who enjoys a drink like this so much. Ernest (4515), Boulder, Colorado, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Mar 18, 2009 Bottle.
Head is initially small, frothy, off-white, mostly diminishing.
Body is medium to dark brownish-amber.
Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), moderately hoppy (resin, grapefruit).
Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly to moderately bitter.
Finish is lightly sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, moderately bitter.
Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.
Quite ordinary, straightforward, and simple...typical aroma and flavor profile for a hoppy American PA/IPA. Nothing really wrong with it, but not trying to stand out in any way either. bhensonb (4392), Woodland, California, USA
