| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 27, 2009 Source: 12 oz bottle purchased from Frugal MacDoogal’s in Nashville. Appearance: Poured a clear amber/orange color with a two finger, slightly off white head. Aroma: All about the hops. Notes of grapefruit and pine dominate. Flavor: A little bit of weak caramel malt. Pine and citrus hops and a citrus finish. Palate: Medium body with a slick mouthfeel and solid carbonation. Overall: I’m always pleased with the Hop Project beers. This one is no different, although not my favorite of the bunch. Very solid IPA though.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 11, 2009 Bottle in Nashville less than a week old. Really nice, easy drinking IPA. Both the flavour and aroma remind me of pink grapefruit juice that starts sweet and leaves bitterness on your tongue. illinismitty (1801), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 9, 2009 Bottle from Midtown. Fresh off the truck and Nashville’s first bottled IPA (at least for me). Pours orange amber with a slight haze and a two finger off white, very pale yellow head- webby lacing. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Very nice floral hops and grapefruit aroma, with more caramelly malts coming out as it warms. Medium bodied, but lighter in the mouthfeel getting very close to watery on the finish. The malt profile is a tame blend of caramel, biscuit, and tea while the countering aggressive bitterness gives off flavors of orange and grapefruit rind. The attenuation is average, perhaps a bit more than I prefer as more sweetness may make this more "juicy." Dry and hoppy finish with lingering pine and resin. Overall a very nice IPA
