| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 5, 2008 Updated: Jan 1, 2009On draft at the Sweetwater Taphouse in the Atlanta International Airport. Amber pour with thin light-tan head. The aroma reminds me of Troegs nugget nectar, with a slight ’old foot cheese’ quality. Pleasant pine hop flavor was enjoyable. A bit cloying on the palate. ericandersnavy (1139), crossroads, Texas, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 29, 2008 Bottle courtesy of CaptainCougar. Good floral aroma. Copper body with off white head and mild lace. Citrus grapefruit flavor was quite refreshing and mild dry hop bitterness was right up my alley. Citrus lingers on the palate good brew.

Good head retention with lacing clinging to the glass all the way down. Aroma was very citrusy with grapefruit dominating. Taste is smooth with a good hoppy flavor. This is by far the best Sweetwater offering I have tasted. Overall a very drinkable IPA that has become a regular stand-by. beerbill (1977), Laurel, New York, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 21, 2008 12 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with GAManiac. Pours a cloudy amber with a thin-moderate yellow-white head that lasted until mid-glass and left a layer of lace with each sip. Very pleasant citrus aroma with lemon most noticeable. Some pine notes also present. The flavor is grassy with some citrus and sweet malt. Moderate hops bitterness at the finish. A little different than the usual IPA, and enjoyable.
