| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 17, 2009 Pours hazy golden orange color with generous white head. Nose is herbal spicy with fresh citrus. Palate offers a nice balance of biscuity malt with herbal, pine hops. This could easily pass for a West Coast IPA. Alcohol subdued, and extraordinarily drinkable for a DIPA.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 15, 2009 Although all other qualities were spot on, someone stole this beer’s aroma!!! Beautiful tangerine pour with towering 3-inch eggshell head that leaves significant ringlets after every sip. Nose is, unfortunately, non-existent. Just a faint honey, caramel, and malt make their way up the nostrils. Flavor is bold and aggressive. Grapefruit rind, lemon zest, and orange pith on the tongue...with a bit of pine and toffee to balance it out. No real indication of alcohol. Enjoyed this.

(2008 stamped on the side) Drank this side by side with the regular leafer madness and this one knocked its socks off. Nice hoppy aroma as soon as the bottle cap came off. Orange in color, good head. Aroma of fruity, citrus hops. Taste is the same. Fruity and spicey hops. Well balanced and easy to drink. Overall a really nice DIPA. Beer Valley did a nice job on hiding the alcohol. Thanks E for sending this one my way! Bockyhorsey (2528), Mesa, Arizona, USA

Dark copper body with white head and some sugar coated lacing left on the pint glass. Good mix of citrus oranges and grapefruits with some sweet sugar and dry resin. Quite refreshing to to plate due to fact I was sick and drinking only water for a week before beer. Good beer. Sparky27 (1596), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
