It seemed a little flat. A syrupy sweet aroma dripping with pine and hops. A sharp bitter bite. scraff (1955), Baltimore, Maryland, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 2, 2008 Tasting - Perfect Pour. Gold, thin white head. Soft aromas of citrus and cedar wood warm to a light swirls of caramel. Tangerine and tropical fruit flavors ride notes of toffee from start to finish. Light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, bittersweet finish. A mellow D-IPA that seemed to work for me... Braudog (3774), Dayton, Ohio, USA

The head is somewhat watery, yet stands. The aroma is kinda soapy, almost buttery. The flavor is thick with piney hoppiness, the mouthfeel a bit syrupy. Very drinkable, particularly for 9%.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 25, 2009 Think this is old batch but date in the description is unclear. Strongly hopped nose with citrus and fresh grass. Pours medium-pale copper with a bathtub suds ring rather than a head. Flavour is potently hoppy with a slight citric sweetness (lemonadey) that quickly gives way to a long and intensely bitter finish reminiscent of one of those herbal italian digestifs such as Fenet Brahca. Very nice indeed, and if this is the old batch I will look forward to trying the new one. ante (2965), Stockholm, Sweden
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 1, 2008 Pours out in a clear golden colour with a rich white foam. Sharp, almost acidic aroma of green apples and grapefruit. Hmmm. . Almost shockingly hoppy flavour of grapefruit, wet grass and pine without almost no residual sugars at all. Medium to full bodied. Long bitter finish of wet grass, sweat and lemon. Not your typical US Impy IPA, quite weird, but still charming. BBB63 (4271), La Porte, Indiana, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 22, 2008 DLD, a table offering and not sure whom brought this: Yellow hue with a fizzy fading head and some lace. The aroma has notes of flowery and resiny hops, pale and biscuity malts, some pepper and clove, and some citric vapours. The taste pretty much follows suit, mostly bitterness and acidic fruit with some pale malt in the background before a peppery and slightly boozy finish. The mouth feel is metallic and chalky, aggressive carbonation, and the alcohol is noticeable. An okay DIPA but wished for a bit more depth. BeerandBlues2 (3231), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA

Best Before 21/11/10 Batch# ?09 Pretty excited to try my first beer from these guys after hearing a lot about them. Pours a pale, slightly hazy golden/orange body with a small white head.
