| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 3, 2009 Poured from bomber a nice medium dark amber, slightly orange hue, formed huge rocky foam head. Aroma of tropical floral tones, hops and sweet malted yeast. Flavour was full bodied, sticky up front with a balanced hop bitterness and sweet malted grapefruits. Extremely quaffable, and at 7%, could be dangerous, yet enjoyable at the same time. Wish I had a cask of this at my next BBQ party. GMCC2181 (867), Bear/Elkton, Delaware, USA

Solid aroma of pine and citrus hops. Taste is very clean and crisp. Nice hop bitterness to it but well balanced. Light and easy to drink. Easy to drink. Another solid west coast IPA. Thanks E for this very tasty brew! yemenmocha (364), Glendale, Arizona, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 25, 2009 Juicy IPA - loved it.
Pours medium amber with slight haze, contrasting off-white head that retains well.
Nose is ripe with grapefruit, light pine, and orange wedges. On the palate there’s a biscuity sweet malt that dances well with the balancing hops that are somewhat metallic, grapefruity, and pleasantly sharp.
Finish is sharp and hoppy, in a very good way. This is one juicy IPA! jeremytoni (1109), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA
