| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 26, 2009 This is a good IPA. Copper color. Short, white head. Bitter hop aroma with lots of citrus, and some pine. Mild hop bite, much less than I expected from the big aroma, but still good flavor. stefanje (958), (Santee) San Diego, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 28, 2009 650 ml bomber via trade with sparky27, thanks man. Pours a translucent copper color with a big off-white head that has good retention and plenty of lacing. The aroma is moderate in strength with yeast, hops, bread and a bit of pine. The taste is mildly hoppy with pine, caramel and a big biscuit/bread presence. The finish is medium in duration and dry with just a touch of lingering biter rye bread. The mouthfeel is full and malty. Overall: A very sessionable IPA, I could drink this every day. NobleSquirrel (1122), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 15, 2009 Bomber via trade with Hellbilly. Pours a deep copper with a nice fluffy head, clear. If you move yourself away from what American IPAs typically are, you start to get this beer. The nose is all EKG hops, resiny and piney, no citrus notes at all. Some biscuity malt notes as well, and floral. On taste, it’s actually got quite a bit of bitterness that could creep up on you. A touch metallic at first, as well as cereal from the English malts. Finishes pretty well. Pretty decent, actually. Padron4KM (405), Chandler, Arizona, USA

Clear orangy amber, thin head and patchy lace. Light caramel malt aroma with some citrus and floral hops.
Flavor is citrus and pine with some malt back.
Body is light.
Finish is medium in length and lightly bitter.
Nothing too spectacular, but it is a decent, drinkable IPA.
