| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 3, 2006 Bottle from some bottle shop in PA. Dark amber/reddish brown color, not much head. Nice hop aroma of grapefruit and pine. Can definitely pick up some carmel/malt aroma also. Was expecting a more over-the-top hop filled beer...this is very balanced. Tasty, but not what I was expecting. JCapriotti (1378), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 2, 2006 Shiney clear copper body… minimal thin off-white head.
Nice full hop aroma… green, edgey, dry, minty, orange, pine.
Taste is predominently dry hops… some soap… little malt.
Nice beer… more hoppy than malty, but the hops are very well integrated and complex.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 2, 2006 Amber body thin white head. Kinda one dimensional, bitter pine/grass aroma and mouth tingling bitter hop flavor. Quick dry finish, solid but not mind blowing. DavidP (1743), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 28, 2006 Bottle shared by Jason. A gusher! Clear amber body with no real head. Catty, dried grass hops with a hint of phosphor. This is one hoppy bitch! Lots of crisp rind bitterness alongside wet grass up front with some resinous pine coming into play at the end. Malt-wise a toasty, bready caramel appears in the finish. Pine and orange hops linger on the tongue. A really hoppy but not terribly unique. 1FastSTi (2591), Glendale, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Feb 28, 2006 Thanks Jason. The beer pours to a deep glowing amber body with a quickly disapating white head. The beer is very aromatic. Spicy dandelions and citrus, grassy weeds. The flavor is a very spicy hop. Bitter and grassy. The palate is oily and lingering. Medium creamy body. MIBRomeo (1966), Wisconsin, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 28, 2006 orange pour w/ a nice thick white head and some great lacing. Smell is a nice grassy and floral hop w/ hints of carmel behind it. Palate is light well coated lightly oily, very nice for an IPA. Flavor is not very bitter some light pine and flugal hop w/ a light carmel and spice. A very solid IPA. BückDich (4857), McCall, Idaho, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 24, 2006 Bottle: Hazy, light amber, no head, light lacing. Nose of fruity, grapssy hops that are citrusy and like earthy pomello with a dose of caramel and molasses; light roast. The flavor is chewy with a fair amount of balancing bitterness and a balanced tail. Tasty and nicely hoppy. Yum. Vanilla and piney citrus afterthoughts. Thanks to kramer17801 for this bottle.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 22, 2006 Bottle pours a slightly hazy light orange amber with a small white head. traces of lacing. Aroma is hops more of the citrus and orange but a bit subdued. If not of the clue in the name I may not have guesed this to be an IPA. Flavors were a bit subtle as well. Medium to light feel and lively. More of everything would make this better I think.
