It’s appearance is a dark amber, with a decent head white head. It’s lacing is nice. It’s flavor is a collection of heavy hops, medium malt bodies, and bit tangy, followed by a strong bite of hops. It’s a bit too heavy in the hops, but otherwise a nice brew. OldRaspy (292), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 20, 2008 Draft @ Frisco’s. Pours a slightly hazy, orange-brown color; creamy, frothy light-tan head with good retention and fine-bubbled lacing; nice pour. Kind of a resigned aroma: basic mineral and earthy bitterness, followed up by biscuity malts and crackers and oiliness. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: lively carbonation and citrus acidity upfront; good, drinkable levels of bitterness (earthiness, floral notes), toasty crackers, and oily dried fruits; solid, very pleasant overall. Lengthy finish: earthy bitterness, crackers, and toasty malts; nicely dry and bitter throughout. urnamesucks (92), New York City, New York, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 17, 2008 Great hoppy nose, dark amber pour, small thin head. Strong hop presence, some malt and orange undertones. Very good! ElGaucho56 (393), USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 16, 2008 Pours a decent amber with a small ring of a head; nose is pleasant piney hops with a solid sweet pastry malt backbone. Grassy hops dominate the somewhat thin palate with a toasted cracker malt underpinning and a lingering herbal bitterness. More like some other breweries IPAs, although this itself is relatively hard to distinguish from smuttynose’s own IPA.
