| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 4, 2009 pours a crisp golden with minimal white head. aroma is bursting with hops and citrus. lots of pine works its way around the slightest breath of malt. drinks very smooth for 10% but has a bitter piny hop bite upfront and followed very quickly with bitter citrus notes. the malt in this is weaker then i would have liked to finish it off, but it did hold well. very drinkable double Birdiebeagle (815), Perkasie, Pennsylvania, USA

The head laces well and seems to last pretty good also. Has a good aroma of pine and citrus. Has a good flavor nice hoppiness with a lot of bitter. Has good carbination, and a nice mouthfeel. Has a medium body. The alcohol is very well hidden. Has an oily texture. A solid finish and a good aftertaste. This is a darn good DIPA.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 27, 2009 Pub pour with no head... is there a magic word that I need to know to get a decent pour these days? I digress. Would be a white head, decent lace. Copper in color. Citrus and pine on the nose. Average mouthfeel, medium to low body and proper carbonation. Grapefruit and a touch of malty sweetness to provide the defense against the hoppy offensive. This is a good IPA... not enough malt or hop for this to be called a DIPA, though. coharahawk (87), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 20, 2009 Pour is amber with smooth appearing off-white head that fades quickly. Aroma is fairly present at first and fades away pretty fast. Smell of crisp hops, small amount of citrus, malt, and a little bit of alcohol. Flavor is a little less pleasing. The aroma had my hopes quite high. Starts out very sweet and syrupy. Finishes with moderately bitter hops. Not as much floral and citrus notes as I would have liked. I don’t think this is super fresh though. Still, I don’t mind this beer at all and will probably get it again, as I live in a black hole of DIPA’s right now. JaBier (1294), Capital City, Ohio, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 19, 2009 Sample as a bonus at the Unibroue tasting at Blacklick Wine and Spirits on 4.10.09. Cloudy amber pour with a big off-white head. Crisp citrus hop aroma with a nice malt balance. Flavor of raw potato, citrusy hops, malt and a touch of alcohol. twitcher (293), framingham, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Apr 15, 2009 bottle, sampled 3/26/07.
Pours a bright clear amber color with an inch of fizzy white head. Aromas of sharp flowery citrus with some chalky aspirin, some grainy sweet malt notes in the background. Sharp bitter citric bite on the front end; hop character sticks throughout, on the one dimensional side. Chalky aspirin from the nose follows through into the flavor. Alcohol is well hidden in the flavor, overpowered by the aggressive bitterness. Palate is on the clean and even side for a 10% DIPA, with a clean finish. Drinkable. Decent DIPA, though lacking in any real depth to the hop profile.
