Aroma of semi-sweet toasty caramel malt and assertive resiny citrusy hops. Body starts with a finely dissolved carbonation and sweet pale malty notes with a good peppery grapefruity hop balance. Smooth bittersweet finish. A very enjoyable IPA. decaturstevo (1997), decatur, Tennessee, USA

Clear, deep golden ale with little to no head. The aroma offers notes of toffee, caramel, grapefruit and cotton candy. Full-bodied and oily with fizzy carbonation. Very lightly acidic. Modest caramel sweetness precedes medium grapefruit pith bitterness. Lengthy, bitter finish. Bottle provided by mgumby10! mgumby10 (1858), Jupiter, Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 15, 2008 Handbottle courtesy of Miver. Pours a fairly clear amber, with a small off white head. Smells of citric hops and a balancing malt presence, as well as some citrus fruit as well. Theflavor was also really well balanced with a perfect amount of hop bitterness, spicy pepper, and grapefruit all mixed in together nicely. The pepper really lingers in the aftertaste giving it a nice sharp bite. Had some good flavor going on here. Enjoyed this. Styles (1653), Lincoln Park, Michigan, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 9, 2008 Handbottle courtesy of Miver. Anber with nice beige head, growing legs, great lacing. Aroma is tad muted, but a nice balance of toasted grain, pine resin and light grapefruit. Flavor is dominated by pine resin and grapefruit. 2 hop sneeze thus far. Nice backbone of toastred grain and light caramel. Medium body, creamy smooth, carbonation lacks a little. Overall a nice session IPA. Thanks Joe! jcwattsrugger (5333), Florida and, New Jersey, USA
