Aroma of orange, some pine and floral hops, caramel, tropical fruits, lots of citrus going on yet a strong malt presence as well. Flavor is a mix of grapefruit, pine, floral, orange and caramel. Starts off hoppy with a great caramel malt to balance...followed by a great hop bitterness. Very well done IIPA. RateandPillage (417), Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Lots of floral hops in the aroma, but also some caramel malt. Flavor is well balanced between the malt an hops with a little underlying spiciness as well. This beer is awesome.

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 24, 2005 Bottle, bomber: Pours an orange/ruby color with a tan retaining head, spiraling lace . Big aromas, piney and citrus hops on top of sweet malt background. At first all I could taste were massive bting hops, spicy/dry with light fruit, a few more sips revealed a far more balance flavor, with caramel malt, but not overly sweet at all. Finishes hoppy all the way, syrupy grapefruit. SuIIy (1448), Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, USA

A very floral, citrus, and hoppy aroma off of the first pour. A nice deep amber color with a medium to small sized soapy white head. Flavor is nice big hop element, some roasted notes, a nice large citrus taste and overall a very well balanced beer taste-wise. Palate is nicely bitter and very long lasting. Overall, A very well rounded and well crafted double IPA. I wish they sold these in Michigan. I would buy them often. ehhdayton (1113), USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Mar 16, 2006 The aroma is of grapefruit and pine. The color is a hazy amber and orange with a lightly golden head. The taste is balanced between the caramel sweetness and pine and grapefruit flavors of the hops. The bitterness while apparent is suprising smooth on the finish.
