| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Oct 17, 2002 This IPA smells good but it fails in the flavor department. Astringent taste, makes me cringe a little. I would not order another but it may be one of the best bets from this brewery. obxdude10 (1563), Pottstown, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 29, 2002 A little on the light colored side for an IPA, but I have been noticing this trend with a lot of pale ales from the west coast, I guess from being from the east coast I’m used to seeing pale ales with a darker appearance, a little more on the copper/amber side, anyway, had that west coast characteristic hoppy flavor, nice dry bitter aftertaste, overall a pretty decent IPA

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 25, 2002 My ratings make this beer sound worse than it really is. It was actually pretty easy to drink considering its bad qualities. You know those really bad beers that are impossible to drink- they suck. Anyways this beeer isn’t that bad.
