Very resinous hoppy aroma, citrusy, grapefruit and oranges, honey, light alcohol, spicy. The flavor is waxy, bitter, grapefruit peel, citrusy, light alcohol, spicy. Very waxy warm mouthfeel, very dominant bitterness. Nice hop presence. jake65 (1725), Williston, North Dakota, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 11, 2008 Bottle: Bright golden orange with a large, creamy sand colored head. Aroma is lively with citrus and plenty of sweetness. Light florals. Tastes of citrus and florals, the caramel malt makes an appearance. ABV is also detectable, maybe more than desirable. Still, a load of hops and a nice malt package. Thanks Pepsican! MrBendo (1048), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 11, 2008 Thanks to pepsican for the bottle. Clear orange with medium head. Great aroma of tropical fruit (pineapple), grapefruit and pine with a hint of caramel. Taste is somewhat of a letdown, with a lot of balancing caramel coming through (could be as it warms) Very sweet with a nice hop signature. sbrewno (49), Frankfort, Illinois, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 9, 2008 12 oz bottle. Another Imperial IPA. Smells of Grapefruit. Initial taste a bit too piney. A rocket for sure. Not balanced, but I guess the name warns you. Reminds me of a high-priced Hop Wallop from Victory.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 7, 2008 Pours a murky orange color with thin white head. Aroma is of hops, caramel and citrus. Very balanced taste, very hoppy and sweet malt backbone. Finish is slightly bitter with a hint of honey. This one is very smooth, no way would I guess it was 9%. zebracakes (1217), Washington DC, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 6, 2008 Bottle from D’s Six Pax. I only paid $2.50 for this, surprisingly enough. Pours clear golden orange, off white head. Aroma is hoppy and fuzzy with sweet citrus and kiwi. I smell caramel but no peat, so we’re off to a good start. Flavor is hoppy, bittter, caramel, vanilla, some fruit. Could stand to be crisper and more floral, but overall I’m not complaining!
