| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 7, 2008 Poured an almost clear gold with an off-white head. The aroma is full of citrus and floral notes. Sweet fruity malt base. Grapefruit citrus flavor with some mild candy notes. Light bitter finish.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 6, 2008 My bottle (12oz) shared with HogTownHarry -- courtesy of Thaichile. Pours a hazy orange-amber with an average size frothy off-white head. Big hop medley aroma (resiny, piney, citrusy and floral) backed by caramel malt. Flavour follows the aroma: Piney, resiny, citrusy hops (and more!) backed by caramel malt along with some tropical fruit and ends with a long bitter finish. Alcohol’s well hidden. Medium bodied, sticky mouthfeel. Quite nice, a very tasty DIPA! ketchepillar (480), Viña del Mar, Chile
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 4, 2008 Something in the aroma I can’t pinpoint. Some mix with the pine and nutty, toasted malt. It’s not a great undefined flavor. Almost a little sour. Ibrew2or3 (2761), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 4, 2008 Courtesy of CigarCityBrew. Pours deep clear gold with off white head. The aroma is a tropical mixture of grapefruit, sweet tangelo, mango and layer of sweet malts. Smells a bit different to me for the style with a sort of tropical influence but it works. The taste must have lots of late addition hops due to the sweet hop flavor over the level of hop bitterness as noticed in the nose. I also get some mild alcohol notes going along with sweet sweet maltiness. HogTownHarry (4020), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 28, 2008 Bottle (12oz). Shared by blankboy. Cloudy bright orange, solid frothy white head. Acidic floral and citrus hop and juicy malt aroma, marigold dust bitterness. Taste follows, more floral pungency. Average body, nice astringency and mild acidity, long floral bitter finish - pretty frickin’ nice. jason (1623), Easton, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 27, 2008 Bottle. Poured a deep orange amber body with thin head - looked beautiful in my tuilp. Aroma is grapefruit and some strong alcohol which is the same feeling I had with the taste. Very rough. Nephilium (553), Ohio, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 26, 2008 Decent caramel malts, with a bit of citrus hop backing it up. Pours a clear dark amber, with a thin white cap of head. Flavor starts off with caramel sweetness, just a hint of hop bitterness in the end. This is definitely more on the sweet side then I prefer my IIPA’s, but it’s still a very drinkable beer, with no alcohol noticeable in the finish. KingpinIPA (842), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
