| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Aug 30, 2008 From bottle : Pours a very clear copper color, sweet teaish, with a foamy finger of head, that dies down to a bubbly thin layer. Aroma is very strong piney hops, with a little malt backdrop. Taste is quite strong as well, very sharp hop flavor, not much malt. It is a little one sided in my opinion, needs better balance. Citrus hop finish. Has a very tart palate, and that lingers for awhile. A little below average i think. afireinside96 (838), Mountville, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 28, 2008 12oz bottle served in a shaker glass. Pours amber with a thin head. Smells of delicate florals, pine, and caramel. More caramel malt flavor than I was expecting, balances nicely with some pine and citrus. Full body, very smooth, light lingering bitterness. A good gateway IPA for people who are intimidated by hops. NomDeBeer (400), Maryland, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 27, 2008 Grassy, earthy hop flavors and aromas dominate, some citrus. A well-balanced IPA that is smooth and very drinkable. greenleaf (90), Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 26, 2008 bottle 12 oz. Pours a clear amber with a small white lacing head. Nose is hoppy, namely cascade. Taste is citrus, undoubtedly cascade in the mix with a sublte malty flavor. Rather flat on the palate, but makes for smooth drinking.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 25, 2008 12-oz bottle received via trade with dchmela. Pours clear amber with an average, frothy, off-white head, mostly lasting with good lacing. Aroma is average malt (grain, bread, cereal), heavy hops (pine, citrus, floral, fruity), average yeast (sweat, dough) with notes of apple, pear, and wood. Medium bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, light sweetness, heavy acidity and bitterness. daknole (2973), Plantation, Florida, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 24, 2008 bottle from Pembroke Pines total wine. Nice copperish/amber color wtih a smallish off white head. Aroma is hoppy...jiucy and herbal hops. Taste is pretty hop laden with some severe bitterness on the finish. Not bad, not amazing. jake65 (1725), Williston, North Dakota, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 24, 2008 Bottle: Clear copper pour with a smaller off-white head. Floral and grassey nose with some sweet caramel and bits of citrus. Tastes floral and citrus based with a more wetter feel than dry hopped. Lingering bitters.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 24, 2008 Bottle: Copper color with a white head. Solid hop aroma grapefruit rind and piny notes. Hard core bitter flavor. This is what I am looking for when I go for an IPA. Something extremely hopalicious. I love that they dry-hopped this thing 4x the regular amount. The more, the better.
