Good amounts of malt flavor but the hops seem overpowered. Lacking a bi t of balance and the real hop flavors of an IPA. Good amber beer, but doesn’t really live up to the style. kegmeister (25), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jul 26, 2008 Very easy drinking summer ale. Attractive color, nice nose, good compact head. Not very hoppy, but very pleasng and drinkable on a 85 degree humid Milwaukee day. IPAaLLtHEwAY (136), La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 14, 2008 Bottle, pours a reddish brown body with off-white head. Aroma and flavor of sweet caramel malts, floral hops, and toffee. Plenty of malts to balance the hops. Not as bitter as a typical IPA. ezyeric (7), Comstock Park, Michigan, USA does not count | 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 14, 2008 Bit of a floral aroma, somewhat earthy as well. Typical appearance, flavor starts out malty and then goes to the hops, but its nothing special, very typical IPA if not lesser. edden (927), cow- lumbus, Ohio, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jul 6, 2008 7/6/08: Bottle. Mild floral hop aroma. Body is orange-brown in color. Flavor is sweet - honey and caramel with a fair amount of hops to balance it out. Finish is bitter and a touch sweet with a slight tin like taste. kimcgolf (835), Dacula, Georgia, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 15, 2008 Pours from the bottle to a hazy reddish-orange with thin off-white head that lingers thru mid-glass and leaves okay lacing. Nose is mildly hoppy floral at the outset, but gets stronger and more defined as the beer warms slightly. Mouthfeel of this medium biodied beer is slightly tangy, and the taste follows the floral route of the nose. This rounded nicely to a smooth finish.
All and all, not a bad beer, but it lacks many of the qualities--citrus hops and bitterness--that I’ve come to expect and appreciate in IPAs.
