| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 31, 2009 Served cold from bottle. I was expecting something much less flavorful, but was pleasantly surprised by the brew. Good hop bitterness and a lingering finish, nice aroma and dry body. For what its worth, the beer also goes well with sweet fruits. altonbrownd (1960), Amsterdam, Netherlands
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 28, 2009 Bottle from Ryan & Casey’s. Amber body, with short head. Malty and fruity nose. Nice malty taste with some fruits, including grapefruits. Nice hoppy finish. tarheels86 (799), Washington DC, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 27, 2009 355 mL. Pours a clear amber with a one finger tan fluffy head that settles down to practically nothing. Aromas of caramel malt, resiny hops, slight grapefruit. Taste is watery up front and then moves to hazelnut and Brazil nut ending with piney hops and grapefruit which linger around for awhile. Not sure if I would call this an IPA or just a normal pale ale. Not worthy of 97 percentile in my opinion. Not even close. lithy (1800), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 24, 2009 Bottle from Cracked Kettle. Clear amber colour, white head. Aroma of resinous piny hops and malts. Flavour is moderately bitter from start to finish, with only a little sweetness up front. Malts, caramel and hops blend in well, mouthfeel is only a bit thin at times. Very nice beer and highly drinkable though. AGAquino (92), San Juan, Puerto Rico
