| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 17, 2009 In short: A tasty classic American IIPA. Typical in style but above average in quality
How: From the bottle at Montreal Mondial de la Bière 2009
The look: Clear dark golden body topped by a small beige head
In long: Nice nose of citrusy and coniferous hops, indubitably American. A nice moderately toasted malt backbone with 2/3 caramel 1/3 honey sweetness. In mouth the hops have a bit of everything with not specific flavour coming on top, fruity, a little pine tree, a little grassy, a little floral, a little resinous. Long finish with a bitterness of medium intensity. No alcohol presence. This is a robust IIPA that is very tasty but not very refreshing. Very straightforward yet most breweries can’t make a solid IPA like this one, as if it was hop rocket science. shadey (1500), Rochester, New York, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 14, 2009 12oz bottle. Dark melon color with a decent head of creamy, lumpy, lacy froth. Resinous and bitter aroma. Flavors are bitter and spicy. This is a rough and tumble IPA. The only smoothness to this is in the finish. pneifert (2), Erdenheim, Pennsylvania, USA does not count | 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 12, 2009 Had a funky initial aroma - no joke, almost like BO. That soon gave way to a more traditional, quite enjoyable one. Taste was pretty different from aroma - sweet, fruity, yet bitter; very well-rounded and hid alcohol just enough. Taste and feel were superb. Good bitter aftertaste. OldGrowth (1426), North Carolina, USA
