| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 11, 2007 It are otay. I may even like it. I may like it far better when it’s on sale or free, but still. It sure as hell isn’t my favorite IPA, but for one that’s now given an affiliation with AB, I suppose that not fully sucking should be equated as a most positive thing? That I’ve had probably a case of this or more and still not seen fit to give this any deeper thought sheds light on my feeling that it rates no better than a middle of the road IPA.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 8, 2007 Pours a deep gold, slightly hazy with a firm white head. Good lacing. Aroma is a blast of herbal pine. Flavor is quite dry, resiny with hops dominating the palate. Finshes clean and dry. Sort of straddles the line between American PA and IPA. Overall quite fresh.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 25, 2007 Nothing outstanding about this beer, but there is a good citrus hop character, fairly fat malt. The malt it probably a bit too caramelly, makes the mouthfeel a bit heavy. But it’s all cool, no complaints really. sloth (1662), Ceciltucky, Co., Maryland, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 22, 2007 Small offwhite head, fair retention with a little spotty lace. Thinly hazy golden color, kinda ugly really. Nose of citrus, orange, a little honey and maybe a touch piney. Body is lightly medium with a light hop resin. Lightly coating on the palate. Citrus flavors up front, light grassiness, caramel malt shining through. Tangy metallic flavors arrive as it warms up. Notes of orange peel and just lightly fruity. Finish is fairly dry and uneventful. Thanks to that Texan fly for this one! djd07 (733), Houston, Texas, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 22, 2007 Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden color with a very little white head. This one had a very stong citrus aroma with hints of vanilla. The taste was fruity with a nice dry finish. a very good IPA. kyzr (1123), Belgrade, Montana, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 19, 2007 Gold pour with white head. Nose of citrus from the cascades. Flavor is all cascade up front with a very sweet lemon malt. Finish is watery and slightly hoppy. thehurt01 (202), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | May 17, 2007 A 12 oz bottle with the date it was bottled on in small print on the front. The beer poured a very gold body with a off white small head, descent lacing. The smell was a lemon-lime citrus that makes your mouth water. The mouth feel was somewhat coating with a bitter hop flavor. The carbonation was low. A every day IPA. drismyhero (815), Tacoma, Washington, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 6, 2007 Actually, I was pleasantly surprised by this Widmer IPA. The cascade hops are evident, but there really is no way I’d call it "excessive." This ranks middle-of-the-road on the IBU scale as far as I can tell, so the fact it is fairly well balanced isn’t too surprising, but the grapefruit and grassiness is there. It’s nothing I’ll go out of my way to find but a great fall back at most bars.
