| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 24, 2008 (1 beer in) Beautiful beer. The first whiff is a light spice intertwined with a slight grape fruit. I wish there was a perfume for girls that smelled this way! Slight bitterness, but doesn’t keep the mouth puckering after the swallow. An easy beer to drink. Bockyhorsey (2541), Mesa, Arizona, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 23, 2008 Bottle courtesy of CaptainCougar. First whiff real good citrus hop hits the nose. But those aromas fade away over the course of beer. Cooper body with off white head. Flavor was alright citus oranges and dry hop bitterness. But half way though beer it fell off to a mild hop and somewhat watery. Mild sweet oranges and dry resin citrus vine aftertaste left on the palate. Thanks CC. dkachur (2376), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA

Aroma of grain and subtle hops. Vegetal and citrusy hop profile in the taste. Not much sweetness. Drinkable, but could be a little better balanced. zappafan99 (462), South Carolina, USA

Nice hop smell evaporating off the snowy top. 75 minute IPA? Mild in the malt-may need just a bit more for a little more chew. miketd (679), Cleveland, Ohio, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 17, 2008 Thanks to Ethan for the bottle! Pour is golden, copper with a fluffy white head. Aroma of piney and citrus hops with some malt present. Quite bitter up front with a sweet, malty finish. Smooth and drinkable. riversideAK (2731), Shoreline, Washington, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 16, 2008 Bottle courtesy of ucusty. Thanks! Golden pour with a lasting head and some decent lacing. Aroma is light but there are notes of floral hops, some pine, and a touch of malt. Hops upfront with notes of floral perfume, pine, pepper, then some nice mild sweetness which moves into a resiny floral and peppery finish. Somewhat dry mouth feel with some resins that coat the mouth. I expected more with the description, but it is a decent IPA all things considered. Taverner (850), San Ramon, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 15, 2008 22 oz. bottle - thanks dchmela! Pours copper, hazy and reddish. Head is a wisp of thin, white froth. First flavor to hit you is the hops - which is good for a beer of this name. Not hop forward, but hop strong. Nice malty backbone, with a distinct EC IPA flavor.
