| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jun 7, 2009 Bu au Mondial 2009, le 5 juin (#16). Rousse miel foncée, peu de collet. Arome d’houblon plutôt amère, un petit peu de grain. Goût d’houblon plutôt robuste, bonne amèrturme avec des notes de petits fruits, la finission est moins amère. Plus facile à boire que la Hop Rocket, mais aussi bonne! j12601 (1215), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 6, 2009 On tap at the Beechtree. Pours a light hazy orange with a medium beige head. Big pine and pineapple, with an enormous caramel component. A bit thin, and slightly malty, with more caramel. Finishes with a light grapefruit bitterness and a touch of booze, and slightly grainy. Doesn’t live up to the aromas. WakeandBake (427), Greenville, Michigan, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 5, 2009 22oz Bottle. A hazy amber color body with a lasting fluffy offwhite head, streeks of lacing down my tulip galss. Aroma is nice and hoppy,having a good mix of citrus and pine notes with some herbal hints and maybe a little honey.
Flavor is toasty with some sweet caramel malt and a citrus/pine resin hop flavor, a little earthy, very balanced. A nice crisp clean mouthfeel with just the right amount of carbonation. A resiny floral aftertaste, alcohol is well hidden. A very easy drinker, with a flavor and aroma that keep you taking sip after sip.
Nice job Arcadia

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 29, 2009 Pour is a copper hue with a off-white head. Nice hoppy aroma with some sweetness to it- maybe the malt. Taste is swwet and citrus hopp flavor. An ok mouthfeel, expected more from a double IPA. Some lacing on the glass. shawnm213 (914), South Bend, Indiana, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 23, 2009 on tap. This beer poured copper. Arcadia continues to underwealm me. their beers all seem interesting and unique, but not necessarily in a good way. Soonah (915), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 16, 2009 The pour was a slightly hazy copper color with a white head and average lacing. The aroma was grassy hops and light citrus. The flavor was light citrus and grassy, earthy hops against plenty of malt. Very average light to medium bodied mouthfeel with a finish that isn’t as crisp as I like. Just OK. wxman (585), O’Fallon, Illinois, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 9, 2009 Pours a hazy orange/amber with a full off-white head. Aroma is sweet roasted malt, honey and hop flowers. Big rich malt caramel sweetness with an assertive yet subdued hop citrus bitterness that is well balanced with the sweetness. This is really good, neither cloying nor too bitter. Just right, as Goldilocks would say. Alcohol not too evident; maybe a little warmth after the swallow. Taverner (837), San Ramon, California, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 6, 2009 Aroma is malty. Pours cloudy copper with beige head. Sweet, and yet finishes dry - Some residual hoppiness there - I can tell there was some serious floral action going on in the past. I would love to try this one fresh. After a few sips it has become a malt bomb.
