| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 11, 2009 Aroma: Fruity hops (citrus, pineapple) but aroma is weak. Appearance: Dark golden with a nice small but dense head that leaves good lacing. Flavor: It’s got that floral hops that is a signature of sweetwater beers. Other flavors are grapefruit, touch of pine and caramel sweetness. Palate: medium body, lively, bitter with medium finish. Overall: This is a good & very drinkable beer. It would appeal to the first time IPA drinker b/c it is lighter than many others. It’s good and could be a session beer. steez (2), Georgia, USA does not count | 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 4, 2009 Opened the bottle and was overwhelmed with pineapple...nice and clean. A little grapefruit and smooth. Tons better than the Sam Adams IPA I bought earlier. beernovice39 (304), South Carolina, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 29, 2009 12 oz. bottle from Total Wine in Raleigh (North Hills). Hazy, dark orange pour with a thick, creamy off-white head. Clean hop aroma of pine, grapefruit, and a hint of soap. Nice, clean flavor. Citrus and floral hop taste. Some caramel sweetness. Nothing is overdone this is just an easy drinking, clean, nicely done IPA. bubbleflubber (898), Collinsville, Virginia, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 11, 2009 Pours a golden-amber, almost orange, into the glass, with a nice 1-finger frothy cap that reduces to leaves generous soap lace. Very refreshing citrus-pine floral nose, with concentrations on roses as the brew warms to fruition (nice). The flavors are well-integrated, with some grapefruit notes, some rind/peel, and a nice pine hop finish. The mouthfeel is crisp and the texture is smooth with a medium body. This brew does have substance, but goes down so easily to make it very drinkable, and would do for a nice session IPA. Easy quaff!
