| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 20, 2008 (Bottle, thanks Degarth) Pours a light amber orange colour with a small off white head. The aroma is hoppy with tones of grapefruit, dried herbs and resin, malty with tones of toast, cookies and hints of caramel. Fruity and sugary undertones of almond paste, dried apricot, dried banana, mango, starfruit, canned pineapple and canned pear. Hints of flower water. Some alcohol warmth in the nose. The flavour is fruity, toasty and cookie like malty, resiny and grapefruity hops with a late medium bitterness. A nice and discrete sweetness balances the beer well. The mouthfeel is clean, round, a bit sticky and a bit watery. The aftertaste is of toast, fruits and bitter, grapefruity hops. Medium full bodied. A very drinkable, very fruity but maybe a bit too friendly IIPA.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 10, 2007 Bottle. Pours gold, with a thin white head.

Bittner finish. vadavid (131), Fredericksburg, Virginia, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 28, 2007 Pours a golden amber color and keeps a thin head for the duration of the pour. The aroma is more malt than hop. The taste is not as hoppy as I would have expected. The smack of the hops that I was expecting was somewhat overshadowed by the sweetness of the malts. The balance is more towards the malt side than I prefer in a DIPA. The alcohol is well-masked though and this is an easy drinker. A good but not outstanding DIPA. I actually preferred it’s Mojo sibling. slimchill (782), Austin, Texas, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 1, 2007 Bottle. Nose is citrus hops, no much else. Opaque to red-orange with small and sporatic but active carbonation. Head is patchy with small tight bubbles. Leaves strong lacing, very nice looking. Well-contained bitterness, hints of lemon and pine. Palate is smooth and full-bodied. Really nicely balanced showing good hop character without being over the top. jcwattsrugger (5578), Florida and, New Jersey, USA
