I think I have had it but it has been a long time and I do not remember it. I do know it has a rather large fanboy following.

I've had it but it is too hoppy for my taste like most IPAs.

Hated it. Couldn't finish a glass of it. Someone told me it was like NewCastle. It is not.

I am always surprised how many people go for the super hoppy beers.

This is my observation and have no scientific proof but I have noticed new/young/inexperienced beer drinkers gravitate to more hoppy beers once they graduate from Miller lite. Not sure why, it may be they have discover that beer can have flavor and can taste different than urine.

I am not a fan of this beer. I've had this one and one other IPA, both were horrible.

I actually like the SN Pale. I would put it more in the ESB class of beer (Extra Special Bitters) than a Pale Ale due to the hoppy taste of the beer.
I'm not a huge fan of IPA (India Pale Ale) which are very heavy on the hops. It is an acquired taste. Try as I might, I just have a hard time getting through the bitter.
My favorite of this class of beer (remember that I put it in the ESB class more than the Pale Ale class) is Red Hook ESB. It doesn't have nearly as much hop flavor and what is there doesn't have nearly as long a final note.
