| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Aug 6, 2008 12oz bottle served in a Duvel tulip. Crystal clear orange body with a nice frothy head. Smells of fresh peaches and oranges, a touch of pine. Lasting bitterness is the first impression I get of the flavor, peppery floral notes emerge after a few sips. Nice dry and refreshing body. A bit different but very enjoyable. KimJohansen (7128), Copenhagen V, Denmark

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 3, 2008 bottle. pours clear, deep orange with fluffy white head. the bittering hops dominate. a nice solid bite over a smooth dry malt. I like that its not overly floral or sweet. A nice change of pace for an IPA.

K and I brought one back from our trip to manhattan - though I don’t remember specifically where we got it. gold-orange color. thin off-white head. caramel, floral and green apple in the aroma. crisp sweet malt up front then quickly moves on to a long bitter hop finish. pine, citrus and perfume highlights. like this a lot. would be in my rotation if I could get it.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Jul 29, 2008 12 oz. bottle - purchased at Oliver’s in Albany; pours dark gold with foamy white head; lots of retention and aromas on the mild side; hops come flying out in the flavors though as it drinks sweet, malty and gently bitter; creamy body and just a yummy delight; great balance and a dry, bitter finish; overall a terrific IPA DrDavid (957), Johnson, Vermont, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 28, 2008 (Bottle). Inviting bitter aroma. Color is hazy amber with a medium head. Heavily bitter flavor with intense grapefruit, and a lingering bitter finish. Not nearly as well balanced or complex as Dogfish Head 60 Minute. A good choice for lovers of bitterness.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 27, 2008 Bottle from Woodman’s in Kenosha. Golden beet with a nice head. Nose is a bit skunky, though not in the worst way. A little catty as well. Very much in the vein of East Coast IPAs, Quite bitter without the citrusy flavors of I would expect, given the nose offered by santiams, typically. At any rate, it’s got a nice and clean bitterness with a solid backbone of malts that takes a beating. Very nice IPA.
