| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 19, 2009 Bottle. Poured a golden amber color with a medium sized off white head. Aroma is malt, grain, caramel, toffee, and pineapple. Medium bodied with a smooth mouth feel. Flavor like the aroma is off to me, lots of sweet malt, caramel, and toffee. It’s also bready with a mild alcohol burn. The hops don’t stand out to me it is a sweet unbalanced brew with some strange flavors I can’t put my finger on. Finish is mildly better.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Sep 17, 2009 Harsh at first on the initial sips. I thought to myself, how am i gonna fight through this? Thankfully though it smoothed out and actually turned into a really good drinker. Packs one helluva punch. Would like to try again, especially for only $5.99! Gachupines (292), USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 16, 2009 Appearance is amber with a thin white head. Aroma is hops with slight fruitiness. Flavor is strong hops and a little sweet in the finish. Fairly strong malt backbone and somewhat bitter aftertaste. A fairly decent IIPA, but there are many others that are better.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 13, 2009 22oz - Sweet aroma of caramel followed by resinous pine hops and alcohol. Flavor is chewy with sticky resin hops and caramel malt that balances nicely. Palate is sticky and tart. A tasty and very drinkable 10.6%. Kinz (2205), Glen Allen, Virginia, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 13, 2009 Medium orange, clear, touch of amber, good head. Aroma is caramel malts and cooked citrus hops. Flavor matches, with a clear alcohol note that isn’t entirely pleasant. In the end, I get cloying sweetness, baked grapefruit, alcohol heat, and a bit of bitterness. Not my favorite take on the style. Lauren, on the other hand, made a game try to sample some herself.
