| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Dec 10, 2008 Copper color out of the bottle with a short lived off-white head. Huge citrus nose with orange peel, red grapefruit, and some malts. The citrus continues into the flavor profile with an initial orange peel that moves into a grapefruit rind bitterness in the finish. I get an almost cinnimon spice in there somewhere too. A little more body and this would be a great IIPA. If you like a citrusy IPA, you will love this beer. abcfan (247), New Jersey, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 19, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Floral hops. Feel like Dorothy in the damn poppy field, cept it’s a hop field. Great success. Flavor is very nice, and very bitter finish. I can’t wait to pee after this and smell hops.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 18, 2008 Thanks to Fantomas23 for the bottle! Orange-amber with a small white head, dissipates to oily ring. Nose is refreshing with grapefruit, orange, and floral. Flavor similar but with more sweetness and tea-like malt. Moderate body. Nice Session IPA, could drink a lot of this. unclemattie (2422), Georgia, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 12/20 | Nov 1, 2008 Short 12oz twist-off bottle. Orange-copper color. Aroma of citrus zest and huge floral hops. Bitter flavor, sweet sugary malts. To me, this is an ideal IPA. Sticky sweet finish, followed by more floral hops. ATLBeerDog (280), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 1, 2008 From a light brown 12oz bottle - Pours a clear orange/red color with small quickly dissipating head. Below average carbonation. Smells sweet with a lot of orange peels notes going on here and a tad of hops. First sip is very mild and with a nice bitterness. Fairly balanced between the hops and malts. Medium light bodied, makes for a pleasant brew. Excellent bitter finish.
