| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 24, 2009 Bottle courtesy of Dansting. Thanks for the bottle, Dan. Pours a hazy, nearly-clear amber with three fingers of fairly dense off-white head that collapses to a thin skin. The nose is of a chemical/plastic note over stale, earthy, spicy and "pitty" apricot hop notes; meh. On the light side of medium-bodied with soft carbonation and a bitter, dry, mildly resinous finish. The flavor is like whole apricots (pit and all) along with earthy/spicy hops over pale malt. This is a decent beer but not a great IPA. ChazMania (411), Pasadena, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 8, 2009 Sampled at a friends during a tasting of midwest IPA’s. This was the 3rd taste and he lined them up to get better and better. A nice and very easy drinking IPA. More bitter than the 5.75% would lead me to believe (I would guess it to be 6.5%). Nice beer and not overpowering. guyinchicago (526), marengo, Illinois, USA

Medium body with creamy carbonation. It is bitter. Really. Dry. Lightly astringent. I think there’s a mixed lot of hops here. Some floral. Some pine. Maybe grapefruit.
