| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Nov 8, 2009 From the 12 fl. oz. bottle with no apparent lot code or expiration/bottling date. The pour is a slightly cloudy amber-orange with a thick, puffy white head. The aroma is more malty and bready than hoppy so in that regard it does not live up to the traditional IPA standard. The hops are also light on the taste buds in the flavor considering it is an IPA. I notice something more akin to stale malts and yeast. It was fairly easy to drink so that was its saving grcae. I had a hard time believing it to be an IPA.

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Aug 17, 2009 12oz bottle purchased at Barb’s Beer Emporium in Concord. Pours a murky amber-yellow body with no head. Smells fruity and grassy. Sour apple, grass, and mint characterize the flavor. Again, this seems spoiled, but since it shares the same character with the other beer I’ve had from this brewery, I’m not sure. Aqueous bordering on thin with little carbonation. Not impressed with this one. Jblauvs (580), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Jul 27, 2009 straw pour with thin head. aroma is also thin, grainy, sour. some lemon zest. watery with some lemon flavors. really pretty terrible, I literally poured it down the drain. oteyj (766), Canterbury, New Hampshire, USA
| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Jul 23, 2009 Hazy apricot pour with thin sudsy head. About 1/4th of my beer has a head actually. Aroma is slight of grain and has a distinct chemical aroma. Flavor is riddled with chemical flavors that mimic fruit concentrate. Finishes like swamp water. Palate is medium with a water like finish. This is wretched- a drain pour for sure. elihapa (1052), Honolulu, California, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Feb 19, 2009 Bottle. Pours clear dirty gold with a pasty white head of medium-sized bubbles. Aroma of fine sugar, cornbread, and sweet lemonade. Flavor has some soda cracker, water and malt, with a finishing hint of hops. Standard. On second thought, this is trying to be an IPA???

| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Feb 15, 2009 On tap at brewery. One of several tasted. Wasn’t really impressed with this one. Does not stand up to most of the other readily available IPA choices to be had. Beerdedone (1885), Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA

Aroma of faint malts, lemon and some grain. Flavor is slightly metallic and grainy with a hint of fruit and is thin bodied. michael-pollack (2688), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 1.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 2/20 | Oct 16, 2008 12oz. Bottle: Aroma of yeast, vinyl, and chemicals. Very plasticy. Poured golden/amber/honey in color with a tiny, fizzy, white head that disappeared almost immediately. Cloudy. Some medium and large-sized particles. Not sparkling. Slightly sweet. Almost no flavor at all. Tastes of water, lager yeast, and a bit of caramel. Terrible. Light to medium body. Thin, watery texture. Average carbonation. Lightly dry, slightly sweet yeast finish. More of a flavored water than a beer.
