This beer is good, but it just doesn’t quite all fit together. carl4beer (400), Fairfax Station, Virginia, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 14, 2007 Medium orange amber, decent head. Aroma a blend of caramel malts and grapefruit. Flavor matches, definitely all on the big side. Although this wasn’t particularly exciting for an IIPA, there wasn’t anything wrong here either, and the malts and the hops balanced each other well. Nice. bgburdman9 (823), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 10, 2007 Poured a cloudy light brown color with a pretty big white head. Aroma was of some citrus and just smelled kind of stale and medicinal. Flavor had some hoppiness to it but not a lot of bitterness. The whole thing was a little off and not a IIPA I would ever buy again when I can go out and get a hopslam or hopsickle any day of the week. I tried to rate this higher but when thinking about how much better IIPA’s can be I couldnt do it. JPDIPSO (4884), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 10, 2007 First impressions first, WOW who sprayed the disinfectant in the outhouse and bottled it. Overpowering pine and rotting grains. Some melon, and citrus come out as it sets, but I still have reminders of the outhouse in the pine forest at the cabin. Hazed light amber color with a canvas colored head. Very smooth and pleasant feel. Mild orange liqueur mixes nicely with pale, slightly earthy malt. Finish and linger have a mild burn some more candy orange flavors. To be blunt, if this didn’t stink, I would really be enjoying this one. Some of the scents have subsided, but some of the nuances are still there and I think about a morning after and an overzealous use of room freshener. Flavors are balanced better than most IIPAs with a nice mix of malt, hops, fruit and light spice.
