| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 19, 2008 A very good double IPA, although was "Palin" like Sarah in comparison to Bear Republic Racer X, which I had next to it. Good sweet malt, piney citrusy hops, yada yada yada it is a west coast double IPA. Some minor off-flavor I could not put my finger on, but that was not a deal-breaker. This was still a great beer.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 19, 2008 Draft @ City Beer, SF. Actually enjoyed "Brew Free" more...vibrant burning hot ember in color with small cotton head. Caramel and freshly cut floral bouquet in the nose...flavor is sweeter than I would want for the style. Needs that bright citrus pop and just doesn’t have it. Alcohol a little more evident than in the brewery’s other beers (and at 9.7%, I understand) but it took a bit away from this one.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Oct 31, 2008 Draft at the brewpub. Poured a clear medium orange color with a white head. Some lace was left behind on the glass. Pleasant enough aroma including the likes of flower blossom, orange, and a hint of caramel. Medium bodied and slightly sweet with mild to moderate bitterness. Citrus and alcohol dominated the flavor with some pale malts and apricot in the background. mtangaa (4), Hvidovre, Denmark does not count | 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 30, 2008 Tap at brewpub in SF. Almost like wine. Smooth yet malty and hoppy. Reddish color. I had two tulips and I was very happy ;-) Hophead22 (1105), Redlands, by way of Wisconsin,, California, USA
