| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 31, 2009 Sampled at the Summit tasting at Blacklick Wine & Spirits on 5/14/09. Pours cloudy amber with a medium tan head. Malty aroma with a bit of hop. Caramel malt flavor with a semi-bitter finish. A lackluster IPA. hellbilly (1532), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 30, 2009 clear copper pour with a fluffy off white head.
it smells sweet... maybe grass and certainly lots of flowers with caramel covered grain and scalded cream.
the flavor is the same... sweet malt, buttery caramel, grass, flowers, orange, grapefruit and just a touch of slightly bitter non resinous pine on the finish...blech.
medium body has a creamy mouth feel from soft carbonation (it is better straight from the bottle)... i needed a beer to wash the taste of this one out of my mouth.5/3/5/3/11/2.7 BOLTZ7555 (1098), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 22, 2009 Nice copper pour produced a small foamy white head that left just a hint of lacing. Grassy, herbal, and somewhat metalic. Citrus and pine do find their way to the forefront. Average mouthfeel. Taverner (853), San Ramon, California, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 22, 2009 Not good at all. Pours copper clear with minimal head. Flavor is bready, yeasty but not hoppy at all. Not even faded hops. Sweet and pointless. jcwattsrugger (5403), Florida and, New Jersey, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 15, 2009 (bottle from Coaltrain Wine & Liquor in Colorado Springs). Pours a clear copper color. Medium size off white head. Hoppy and light burnt aroma. Hoppy flavor. Avg duration. Bitter finish, which is somewhat astringent. Alcohol texture. No lacing. Soft carbonation. dmac (1469), Toms River, New Jersey, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 10, 2009 12 z bottle from Spirits RB. Hmm is this a poorly made IPA or a generously hopped APA?? I wish it was the latter so I could rate it higher. Grassy aroma with lots of caramel malts. Flavor is simiiliar with the malts pushing into the foreground and the hops, which were grassy and dull, were secondary. Drinkable is the best thing I can say about this one.
