Very strong hoppy brewed masterfully with honey. Glass just kept building in flavor. And a nice piney finish. Great beer!! dutch23mp (161), Mount Prospect, Illinois, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 21, 2009 golden in color with a short lived head. Naturally the hops are pronounced, but the blend with the malts and balance make this such a great beer, The sharpness of the hops is made oh so smooth. Not hard to see why this gets such high ratings. puggy211 (584), cordova, Tennessee, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Feb 21, 2009 On tap at Capone’s in Norristown, PA. Little head and minor lacing on the glass. Smell is of hops, hops and more hops. Taste is the same. I consider myself a minor hophead but this was a little too intense for me. It was overwhelmingly hoppy without even a pretense at trying to be balanced. That wouldn’t have been so bad had the hops not been so sour. They weren’t even citrusy or piny, just sour. The one thing I did enjoy about this beer was the lack of alcohol flavor. No way would have I expected it to be 10%, but it definitely hit me later on. Try it if you’re a hard core hophead but otherwise, there are much better DIPAs. andersand (306), Malmö, Sweden
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 21, 2009 Fantastic brew, one of those you would hardly consider beer if you didn’t know it was. I mean, it’s freakin juice, hop juice that’s oh so pleasant. Very exotic, passionfruit flavour with allot of fine, high-fi crispiness in both aroma and flavour. The finish is piney and great tasting, never harsh and there’s not a sign of the ABV. morrdt (608), Jacksonville, Florida, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Feb 20, 2009 Twelve ounce bottle from Total Wine here in Jacksonville, Florida. $3.99 for a single sounded better than $16.99 a six pack. Pours a light copper color with a very minimal head. Aroma is all hops and citrus notes, no trace of the honey. Taste is strong alcohol, hops and some citrus. Very rich and great to drink. A wonderful double IPA. nightrider (373), encinitas, California, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Feb 20, 2009 Pour from a bottle. Orange golden color with a white head. Aroma of orange, tangerine, lemon, and pine. Medium body and smooth on your palate. Great balance of biter hops and under stated sweetness. Just a hint of the rich syrup feel of many double IPA’s.Long bitter finish. Fantastic yummy brew.
