[1] Review by changeup45 from Orlando, Florida, USA who has tried this beer once. (8/17/2008 4:13:34 PM)
"Pours a murky orange color with a thin off-white head that almost completely evaporates away but somehow there's a little sticky lacing. The aroma is fresh and almost non-existant with the strongest, and really only scent, being a sweet fruity malt. Sweet malty flavor, caramel, oranges, with subtle hops towards the finish. The bottle states that this is their west coast version of the style. I suppose the malty-caramel-orange base is on par with the style but without the aggressive, or really hardly any hops, it ends up being just sweet and syrupy. This isn't an awful beer but it was a bit of a disappointment. "

"This beer pours a cloudy orange colour with a medium sized white head. A noticeably large amount of sediment floats throughout the glass. Aroma is well hopped, and slightly piney. Mouthfeel is full, well carbonated, creamy with flavors are of grapefruit, lime and apricots."

"Cloudy orange with an average head. Slightly orangey hop aroma. Bit of tingly hops in flavor but the finish fades away too soon leaving you unsatisfied."

[4] Review by oh6gdx from Vaasa, Finland who has tried this beer once. (2/8/2006 2:02:49 AM)
"Hazy orange colour, white bubbly head. Hoppy orange in aroma. Orange at first, and then a hoppy kick in the flavour. Semibitter fruity flavour. Pleasant palate, but a bit too much and too sharp carbonation. "

[5] Review by Reidrover from Oregon, USA who has tried this beer once. (8/23/2005 12:00:06 PM)
"Very good looking beer, it is a very hazy,dark orange,with a beautiful thick,billowy off white head, loads of great lace down the glass. Nice hoppy aroma though quite reserved compared to other West Coast IPAs. the flavour is also quite hoppy but it is not over the top and there is a very complex malt backbone to it. Finishes quite sweet. The mouthfeel is the best part of this beer forme. Its very slick,smooth and almost velevety and quite "full" for the style. A nice ,not over the top IPA with a great mouthfeel..will drink again.
