| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 29, 2009 Bottle 0,33 l. Pours light orange gold with small white head. Nose is somewhat musty, flowery, hops and the some rotten grass quite up front. Skunky and earthy. Flavor is sourish bitter with only a bit maltiness. Feels quite thin and boring for it’s style. As a lighter pale ale I would give this much better score, but as a strong DIPA it just doesn’t deliver. Archibaldo de la Cruz (399), Finland
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jun 28, 2009 Bottle. Golden colour, disappearing small white head. Hoppy aroma of citrus and grapefruit. The flavour is bitter, citrus and grapefruit with malty notes. Long bitter aftertaste. Quite good, not as bitter as I was expecting. Trev (861), Lakeville, Minnesota, USA

from a snifter:
pours dark hazy orange-gold with a medium head.
Aroma is funky earthy yeasty at first, apricot and citrus fruitiness and resinous hop upon closer investigation. Some biscuity malt in there as well.
Flavour is fruity and boozy, medium bitterness through the middle and a slightly sticky alc sweetness towards the finish. Low carbonation let’s the malt shine through. notalush (2647), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 27, 2009 Best before 2/2/10 - pours a lightly hazy gold with a soapy lace - earthy, kind of sweaty aroma, with some notes of apricot, grapefruit, some crackery malt - moderate carbonation, medium body - starts rather sweet and sugary, but a rather dry bitterness squashes this pretty fast - a really strong grapefruit pith flavor borderlines on unpleasant after a while - ends dry, almost flinty, and strongly bitter - it ain’t bad, just a little out of balance. cheapdark (2015), Monacatootha, Pennsylvania, USA
| 1.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 1/5 | 6/20 | Jun 26, 2009 Four oz sample from a botttle at the 3 sons beer tasting.Yellow with some bubbly head, typical pale lage appearance. Strongish dull Ipa aroma. Some carbonation but mostly a big alky laden mildly hoppy beer. Don’t think this reaches douple IPA form. Rather smoothgoing down. Long bitter terrible linger for a finish. Almost on style. Beerman6686 (1281), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/20 | Jun 25, 2009 This poured a clear amber color with an off white head. The aroma was mainly malty some bittering hops and booze. Flavor was also very boozy and malty not too much hops flavor to mellow it out. This stuff isnt too good.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Jun 18, 2009 Bottle 33 cl, BB 21-11-2010. Pours a clear copperish amber with a small white head and a creamy, fruity and hoppy aroma. The taste is initially high on sweet malts and rich fruits, but after that a brutal hoppy bitterness comes kicking in. A great beer! Lalli (158), Helsinki, Finland
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Jun 17, 2009 0,33l bottle, batch 037. Hazy golden color, no head. Aroma is fruity and fresh from hops, some malts as well. Flavor is very rich; the fruity hops along with a malty body makes for a big mouthfeel. This is intensified by the high ABV. Very nice brew and very refreshing.
