| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 26, 2009 Bottle thanks to Snojerk321. Pours a nice copper/gold with a fluffy head that sticks. Nose is super floral, nice grain notes and citric. The taste is more aggressive, with a nice clean bitterness and some notable fruity bread notes from the yeast. Finishes reasonably clean and the hops aren’t too big in flavor. Pretty nice IPA. GreatLibations (1454), Last Supper, Arizona, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 22, 2009 Pours pale copper with a sturdy froth that lingers like a downy blanket the whole session. Malty aromas with dusty hops. Medium nectar with Soft effers for a cottony texture. Snappy jagged hops remove the plaque from my pearly whites like a good dentist. A moderate malt body plays mind games as the hop slayer dances to the last tune. This specimen is strictly for grapefruit rind lovers. sebletitje (1999), Tampa, Florida, USA
