| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 13, 2008 12 oz. bottle - thanks to goldtwins for the trade; pours clear and bright orange; nice white head and minor lacing; aromas of bitter, soapy hops; drinks crisp and bitter with fresh hop aftertaste; a straight up bitter IPA, but a decent one at that MrChopin (638), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 9, 2008 Pours golden red with small, short-lived white head. Aroma sweet for an IPA with significant malt scents. Some citrus and probably also raisin. Tastes more IPA-bitter with citrus, but also some sweet caramel/bread. Balance is nice. Palate a little thin.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 21, 2008 Aroma: unripe apples; LOVELY hop character, slightly soapy, nice apfelstrudel-malt but in no way too much (not too sweet), very sourish, fresh.
Flavour: nice, vanilla - malty raisin, vaguely chocolate malt balance, roasted, refreshing. Pretty dry.
Appearance: foggy deep orange body with paler yellow rinds. Yellowish irregular foam. Pretty.
Palate: sparkling wine, slightly lathery. riversideAK (2727), Shoreline, Washington, USA

Aromas of citrus, lime, pine, floral hops. A little sweet caramel and toffee too. Flavors of lemon/lime up front, with some floral hops, caramel, toffee, and light leafy herbal hops too. Bitterness is light to moderate. Mouth feel is smooth with a light peppery bitterness that lingers. I would like to try this on draught. lemasney (398), Trenton, New Jersey, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 12, 2008 Bottle from goldtwins. Had this on draft a few times, but fist bottle i have tried. Pour is a clear golden orange with a big, fluffy head. Nice aroma of citrus and pine. Flavor is slightly bitter with a nice, full mouthfeel there. Decent malt backing, but hops dominate. Only detraction is a slight mettalic note. Good overall ipa. santos999 (318), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Apr 6, 2008 Pours a slightly hazy copper with a rocky, frothy white head. Smells very citric and piney, with spicy and sweet undertones. The taste is very mild. The bitter notes are subdued, but wonderfully floral and perfumy. There’s a great malt kick, and the yeast flavors are freaking perfect. I remember having this once before and not digging it, but this is great. GMCC2181 (861), Bear/Elkton, Delaware, USA
