I want to hang a map of the world in my house then I’m gonna put pins into all the locations that I’ve travelled to. But first I’m gonna have to travel to the top two corners of the map so it won’t fall down. Murphy (1759), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Oct 8, 2004 Small head, golden color. Full hop aroma. Body is strong and malty. A big hop flavor as you would expect, but I’m not put off by the bitterness. Finish is alcoholic, slightly bitter and a little roasty. Warming. A very approachable and balanced beer. Worthy of its high rating. 21iceman40 (1731), vienna, West Virginia, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Feb 9, 2008 This was insanely heavy on the hops, which is a good thing. Im not sure if this is any different at all from the winter version but i did get alot of floral and citrus in the hops. ElGaucho (1730), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 5, 2004 Updated: Mar 26, 20063/26/06 Re-rate: 6th annual Bistro IIPA fest. Draught. Not quite as good overall as I remember, which is possibly due to having it amongst a lot of other great IIPAs or the fact the 1st time I was somewhat excited about having my first Yulesmith brew. Much sweeter aroma than the Drakes Denogginizer. Bigg, off-white head; slightly hazy; exellent. Not liking it as much as the Drakes. Creamy. Less piney than Drakes and somewhat harsh. Hop variety may not be my favorite. 11/5/04: Bottle. Prior to October 30, 2004, Alesmith beers had eluded me. On that night I was able to try not one, but two of them; this being the 2nd. Nice hoppy, sweet aroma. Light amber in color. Small, off-white head. Excellent lace. Awesome flavor. Rich with high alcohol presence. Similar to the DFH 120 Minute IPA, but with much less alcohol, and therefore better. Ar 8, Ap 4, Fl 8, Pal 5, Ov 17 jake65 (1725), Williston, North Dakota, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 12, 2007 Bottle: Pours an orange amber with a moderate sandy colored head. Nose is hoppy with citrus and florals, light sweetness. Flavor is crisp and hoppy, nice resiny citrus blend. Good malt presence. Decently hopped and overall very good, but I think the winter version wins the sibling rivalry. Thanks Jeremy! ross (1709), weddington, South Carolina, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 4, 2004 Pine, tangyness, sweet, not too much tackyness ion the tongue but a bit jammy, soe nut spices, not much sticking to the palate, finishing astringent. INteresting. Jumbled.. Fun. BeerPrince (1701), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 14, 2006 Cloudy orange body with a small creamy head. Aroma of hops with pine and lemon coming through. Lots of hops, pine lemon and dry wood dominate the flavour but balanced with a good malt backbone. Dry hoppy finish. Smooth and enjoyable.
