| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | May 25, 2009 Sampled at Schlafly Repeal of Prohibition festival.

The flavor starts drier than the aroma with rind of grapfruit, woody hops and solid malt. Well balanced tasty IPA. ross (1709), weddington, South Carolina, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 20, 2009 Bottle from Sean. Thanks. Pours out a dark orange color with a tan head on it. Smell is full of orange peel and a nice hop smell. Smells kinda like hopslam light. Taste is fruity and very citrusy. Moderate carbonation makes it very drinkable. Smooth, and this really compares to two hearted in my mind. Good stuff, too bad they are limited to 6% because I think they could really brew some outstanding stuff.

Slightly hazy deep reddish orange with a tall lasting off-white head.
Aroma of fresh grapefruit.
The flavor has a bitterness that build all the way to the finish with a firm malt support.
I really liked this one.

| 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.

Pours a cloudy orangish gold with a thick three finger off-white head that results in nice lacing. The nose is sweet citrus and malt. The taste is sweet citrus, grapefruit and resin with a malt backbone. Medium bodied – good IPA. Thanks again Steve! illinismitty (1799), 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
