| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Jun 19, 2007 Not a beginners’ IPA...very bitter and hoppy on the finish, chalky, and a little cardboard-tasting on the finish. Quite strong in taste, but the alcohol does not match the hoppy flavors. I think I’d skip this the next time. ksigty (107), Scottsdale, Arizona, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 5/5 | 13/20 | Jun 17, 2007 Hoppy beer with a strong finish. I enjoyed this. It may have been because of all of the normal junk I had been drinking while I was visiting the area. It was a great change of pace. TrevorFloyd (309), Connecticut, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Jun 15, 2007 Starts out decently, with some of those mild Fuggles hops and some bready characteristics, but the finish is abrupt and brings some off-putting tangy flavors that just don’t sit right. Not bad, I suppose, but it could stand some cleaning up. ¾ (4999), Colorado, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 18, 2007 Draft. Clear copper orange and yellow colored body. Lightly crisp and bitter up front, a combination of fruity and doughy (sour yogurt) flavors. Tastes like homebrew full of muddy yeast flavors. Ok but not great. mhelgason (495), Charlotte, North Carolina, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 28, 2007 I must admit I had some trouble with this one. Overall I was not that impressed. I noticed a chemical/solvent aroma mixed with a light IPA. Flavor was a bit muted but lightly acetic. A bit weird for me and not that good. Apellonious (53), USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 13, 2007 Pours a slightly cloudy orangish red, normal head that disappates at the pace of a lawn dart hitting the ground after being thrown 30 feet in air. (jarts, remember those??? outlawed now I think).
Dry citrusy aroma. Taste is slightly smokey, crisp, with the IPA hops in the forefront. The carbonation is at a good level. Has some maltiness, but it is buried.
Something is missing that would make it a great IPA. Or it is the smokey aftertaste that is cause for concern?

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Apr 6, 2007 Bottle. Little cloudy golden colour with a weak head. Malty aroma with a sweetness from the malt, not much hops aroma. Malty flavour with a little hoppy and bitter finish, I prefer more hops in IPA. ryan (1778), Beltsville, Maryland, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 2, 2007 Clear amber with a small off-white head. The aroma is very light, some spicey hops and some caramel. The flavor is herbal, floral and sweet with caramel. Medium body with medium carbonation. Decent, but more of an amber than an IPA.
