The marigold color is very appealing with a light white head, The flavor is nice and hoppy with floral and citrus notes, I got mostly orange maybe a little lemon. It’s very smooth. I would definitely recommend this as a solid IPA ThaddeusBraun (9), North Carolina, USA does not count | 4.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Jun 29, 2009 This is my favorite IPA, i am a manager of a Restaurant & Wine/Beer Shop in NC and this is the best selling beer that i carry. Not only because it is a personal favorite but because of the overall quality. great balance of malts and citrus hops. crazyvin (1248), New York, USA

| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Jun 28, 2005 An excellent IPA! Ranks up there w/ Bell’s Two Hearted in my book. Supercharged hop taste and aroma, strong and slightly grainy sweet malt backbone. Have to give points for the great label art, as well. A real pleasure to have and to drink, this one.

| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Feb 10, 2006 Clear golden color with a nice white head that sticks around. Great aroma of piney hops, citrus, and grapefruit. Excellent hop flavor. I don’t know what kinds of hops are used in this (Cascade, I guess), but they add a nice spiciness and a very pleasant bitter finish. Mouthfeel is smooth and a little oily, with the perfect amount of carbonation. I’m a huge fan of IPAs, and this is just how I like them. Definitely one of my favorite IPAs.; very refreshing and highly drinkable. I personally enjoy this more than Bell’s Two Hearted. Definitely a great choice for any hophead. jgolden (9), Quincy, Massachusetts, USA does not count | 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | May 9, 2006 delicious hoppiness...had it last night with a fatty cheeseburger at cambridge common and really got after it...bollocks MilkmanDan (1940), Eagan, Minnesota, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Feb 4, 2002 Rerating this one with an upgrade. Excellent. Pours a hazy gold color, sits very pretty in the glass. Scent is tart and crisp. Flavor is of apricots and loads of grapefruit, reminscent of drinking Campari. Has a very big hoppy finish. What’s exceptional here it the palate on this one, full and slightly creamy. Just feels nice in the mouth. One of the better hopmonster IPAs I’ve encountered.
