| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Apr 1, 2007 Served on tap in a snifter at the Smokehouse with some grilled wings and sauerkraut balls. Slightly murkey golden amber hue with thin slight white head. Flavor was grapefruit and hops. Nice sharp bitter aftertaste. 11% ABV was detectable and appreciated. This is one of the better IPA’s that I’ve tasted to date. I would order this again. CaptainCougar (5544), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 20, 2007 Sampled from a growler on 8/26/06: Pours a clear copper orange with a thin, wispy white head. Aroma of sweet, toasty caramel and big, fresh citrusy piny hoppiness. Body starts with a viscous sweet caramel maltiness, nicely-balanced with a more bitter, fresh, resiny hop presence toward a bittersweet, slightly warming grapefruity finish. A pretty good double IPA. edden (927), cow- lumbus, Ohio, USA
