| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 24, 2008 bottle from 3 Sons. Really nice for my favorite type. Balanced hops if not enough florals, modest head, amber color. Not much malt and alt the high end for tolerable carbonation keepersj12 (815), Sicklerville, New Jersey, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Sep 7, 2008 Something in the flavor put me off. It had a soapy taste to it. It wasn’t my glass because I never wash it. Not a big hop presence though. Mostly sweet malt. About average. pineypower (1104), Pine Barrens, New Jersey, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 30, 2008 Pours out a slightly coppery golden color with a small to moderate off white head. Aroma is of some citrus and slight malt, but not much aroma going on there. Taste is of citrus hops, caramel, some earthy notes and a bitter hop finish. A solid IPA, but thats about all mabel (2626), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Clear, orange amber body with a quick creamy off-white head. Grainy alcohol yeast flavour has a little bitter hops. Medium body. Not bad.
