| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 24, 2008 Very nicely balanced DIPA. The usual pine and citrus, but not some much of them that your tounge hurts. All the hops come together well. Nice and crisp with a good thick palate. Nice.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 24, 2008 Pours a transparent copper orange with a spotty-lacing white head. Aroma of fresh grapefruity hops and lightly sweet pale malt. Body starts with a decent full and sweet caramel maltiness along with big fresh citrusy grapefruity hoppy presence before a drier, bittersweet crisp finish. Nicely balanced and pretty drinkable IIPA. sneagrams3 (1759), St. Louis, Missouri, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 22, 2008 Tasted 2/17/08. 12oz bottle. Filtered with a golden amber hue. Spotty white head. Big bright hop nose. Tart grassy citrus grapefruit pepper and berries. Quite a complex nose. Full bodied and bitter. Big hops and big alcohol. Good rubbery alcohol. Sticky finish and a touch musty. Coating and bitter. Mild malt backbone. Tart and sour with a touch sweetness. The sweetness ebbs as the beer warms. Nice melding and a rolling palate. Honey herbal hops. Wonderful complex hop palate. Delicious! masonjer (564), Holt, Michigan, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 21, 2008 was waiting to try this one. Finally found it on tap. Smelled very nice. Nice citrus smell. Taste was nice and fruity. I had hopslam on tap after this and hopslam blew it out of the water. But don’t let that stop you from trying it.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 17, 2008 Updated: Jun 4, 2008Courtesy hopscotch. Pours a genuine copper color. Nice sticky lacing. Spicy piney hops in the nose, and a slight sourness. Real tangy hops on the tongue, mostly Amarillo ctirusy stuff. A bit of an astringent quality, too. Balances, albeit a bit thick and syrupy. mgumby10 (1858), Jupiter, Florida, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 17, 2008 Courtesy hopscotch. Pours a cloudy light amber color with a small off white head. Smells of sweet hops, a little earth, and a decent malt presence as well. The flavor comes back at you with pretty monster hops, with the malts hanging on to try to balance it out somewhat. Very hoppy though. Good thing. Alot of grapefruit citrus and hop bitternessin the finish. Solid double IPA. Pretty tasty stuff. Hudspart (371), Hudsonville, Michigan, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 17, 2008 Bottle: Pours yellow with a thich head. Aroma of hops and dirty socks. However, it tastes great. Strong flavor of hops. JCB (1781), Durham, North Carolina, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 14, 2008 12oz from Rodman’s, D.C. Whoa, this is one hop-tastic face-wrecker of a beer. Like Two Hearted on HGH rather than a SoCal DIPA clone, this is unbelievably fresh. A strongly floral nose is mighty promising, but this thing really punches you in the face with a deep, dank wet hop flavor. Exceedingly tasty and dangerously drinkable, don’t take it as a criticism if I say this is NOT particularly complex or balanced - it’s powerfully insistent, with a lovely character. Really, really good.
