| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 10, 2006 Cloudy bright golden/yellow with plenty of floaties as I made my way to the end of the bottle. Huge rocky white head, made of tiny carbonation bubbles, great lacing, leaves the entire glass coated in film. Great aroma of mostly spicy-floral hops, faint citrus/lemon detectable, yeasty bread, candy sugar and malt character much like the bam biere. Bready malt in the initial flavor is quickly overtaken by citrus hops and candi sugar. As it warms gets a tad harsh in the finish, with a spicy hop and warming alcohol bite. Carbonation cleans palate somewhat, leaving only hop bitterness for aftertaste. Would score even better (4.4-4.5) without the harsh finish. Sregnar35 (732), Rotterdam, New York, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 8, 2006 Excellent beer. Pours a mirky yellow with an extremely strong rocky white head. Aroma is fragrant exotic hops and yeast. Flavor is also very exotic, with a great blend of hops and yeasty goodness like I’ve never tasted, very good.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Apr 22, 2007 Hazy yellow body with a huge pillowy head that laces beautifully. Aroma of citrus hops and yeast. Flavor starts out dry, malty, bready and finishes with big citrus hops. I’m definitely a fan of this interesting blend of styles. kenb (1101), Oregon, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Nov 29, 2006 Bottle via mystery swap from mibromeo and leopoldstoch (thanks!). Pours a very hazy gold with a large white head. Nose is floral/citrus hops and a bit spicey as well. Very interesting flavor. Hoppy but not bitter in the least. I detect pineapple, orange, lemon, bananna, and pepper as well as some honey and caramel malts. Very very smooth. Medium/full body. Only complaint is that is is over-carbonated. Alcohol is well hidden. World class stuff. Very unique combining an IIPA and a Triple. Am glad i have another bottle! andyhite (293), Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Sep 14, 2007 750ml bottle. the pour is reminiscent of a belgian tripel. big over-foamy head and a rich golden-amber hue. aromas of bitter green hops overwhelms me. also, peach, mango, some passion fruit bleeds through as well. it’s very aromatic, and even contains some light floral notes. the taste is smooth, fruity, but well balanced and not overly hopped. the finish is ultimately creamy vanilla and green, tight hops. the journey there is quite a deep one. i’ve thoroughly enjoyed this ale. it’s nothing short of phenomenal. grab one, it’s worth it. slimchill (788), Austin, Texas, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 2, 2008 Bottle. Beautiful pour. Huge frothy white head sits atop a completely clear golden body. Nose and flavor are both dominated by caramel and hoppy citrus notes. Thick and smooth palate. Light alcohol in the finish.
Aged one year, the caramel notes fade and the sweetness turns to a more bright fruitiness. Well-worth aging. Rynoplasty (547), Louisville, Kentucky, USA
