| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 19, 2006 12 oz bottle, via CaptainCougar. Pours a slightly cloudy copper with a fluffy beige head. Sediment in bottle. Aroma equally balanced between caramel malt and citric hops. Some pine and grapefruit notes. Well balanced flavor as well, leaning slightly towards the malty end of the spectrum. Finish is softly bitter. Medium bodied with very soft fine bubbled carbonation. Well rounded and creamy. A decent IPA, not overly assertive, more of a mellower earthy version.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 16, 2006 Strawberry banana pour with a lasting, creamy head. The aroma is nicely dryhopped - highlighting citrus and sweet fruits. More hops are highlighted in the body - from grapefruit to grass - they steal the show. And unfortunately everything else - overpowering any malt presence. Slight bitter finish is peppered with alcohol spiciness. While this is good and drinkable, it falls into the one-dimensional IPA category - no malt to be found throughout. egajdzis (3636), Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA
