| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 6, 2009 Very nice IPA, not quite sure it makes a double b ut close and not so sickeningly infused that it is too much. Bottle amber colored not much head. Butters (1645), Virginia, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 31, 2009 Bottle shared with the guys at the Inglorious Emergency Tasting. Pours a hazy amber with wispy off white head. Nose and flavor are huge red apples, with fruity hop and apple cider. Cool label, cool name, but standard. Barrios (858), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 31, 2009 Pours a lacing, barely beige head with a ruby-amber body. Aromas of bubblegum and resin. Flavor is floral and citrus hops as well as caramelized malts. Nice floral and very slightly bitter finish. drowland (1380), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 16, 2009 Probably my least favorite DIPA of those I’ve tried, but a pretty good beer. Methinks I sense some diacetyl, which shouldn’t be happening in this style! Duhast500 (176), , Massachusetts, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 6, 2009 Poured from a 12oz. bottle into a pint glass.
The color is a cloudy orange with a thick off-white head with some really nice lacing.
The smell is surprising, hoppy but in a different way than expected. Some nice hints or floral hops and and some citrus hops but also something a bit different that is hard to describe
The taste is orange flavor at first, some really nice hop bitterness with a great sweet malt feel with some hints of clove and other spices.
The hop feel is not too strong which contributes to the lighter mouthfeel to this beer than expected. Has a nice medium body and is easy drinking for a double IPA.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 31, 2009 12 OZ bottle served in a tulip glass. Pours a ruddy amber with two fingers of thick foamy off-white head. The head slowly dissipates and leaves nice lacing. Nose is caramel, hops (though not as much as I expected for a DIP), malts, and perfume. Taste is malts, caramel, and hops with a wet, bitter finish. A pretty tasty, balanced ale. It really didn’t seem much like a DIP though. jamesawoodward (2), New York, USA does not count | 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 1/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Jul 29, 2009 Does not taste like an ipa - tastes more like a malty carbonated beer. No strong hop flavor, definitely not a double ipa (or at least not to my liking). jimhilt (1673), Bow, New Hampshire, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 17, 2009 Pours a three finger cream head that fades slowly leaving some lace. Cloudy amber color. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied. Grapefruit nose. Flavor is grapefruit hops almost balanced with caramel malts. Higher ABV is totally hidden. $3.00 for a 12oz bottle from Tully’s Beer & Wine Wells, Me.
