| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 31, 2007 Bottle...very hoppy aroma, dry on the palate. Great IPA, love the double even more! Duster72 (117), Indianapolis, Indiana, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Mar 27, 2007 Pours a very cloudy dark copper color with a one-finger head that took a few minutes to dissipate. Sticky lacing down the glass. Aroma was rather mild, but primarily earthy hops of the pine/floral variety. Taste is fantastic. Perfect blend of pine, floral and citrus hops with excellent matly sweetness. One of my top two IPAs. Very drinkable. If I had bought a six pack, I probably would have drank 3 or 4 at the minimum on a nice warm early spring evening at the grill. JMFG (1514), Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 25, 2007 Bottle. Slightly cloudy dark straw color with a thick white head. Moderate grapefruity hop aroma, medium-bodied palate. Nice clean hop bite to start the taste, and a piney finish that lingers for a good while. Drinkable and hoppy, but there’s certainly hoppier out there. A good IPA, but Dark Horse does stouts better IMO. buckybeer (666), Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 22, 2007 Big thanks to Shigadeyo for trading this to me. Pours a super murky orange with a small white head and some sticky lacing. A sweet pine, malt and grapefruit mix in the nose. Flavor is a bitter pine, malt, caramel and citrus. Quite bitter in the finish also. A very good IPA. Thanks again Craig. decaturstevo (1997), decatur, Tennessee, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 17, 2007 Bottle at the Knoxville Spring(ish) tasting provided by Shigadeyo. A hazed orange pour with a light off white head and a nice lacing. an excellent aroma of piney grapefuit. A flavor of bitter appley, pineiness. Not a hard bitter but a full all over very nice one. Light carbonation that was almost foamy. A very solid example of the style. BeerHawk (1175), Huntsville, Alabama, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 13, 2007 Thanks to Shigadeyo for sharing this bottle with us at the Tennessee Spring(ish) Tasting! Poured amber with a white head. The aroma was a great mix of citrus and pine that presented a floral like aroma. The flavor found citrus hops with a light malt background. Medium body and a dry texture that had a light bitterness throughout. shigadeyo (2263), Harrison, Ohio, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 12, 2007 Updated: Feb 5, 2008This was one of the beers that I took to to share at the Tennessee Spring(ish) Tasting in Knoxville, TN on 3/10/2007...
Crooked Tree IPA has a sweet citrus and sugary caramel aroma. The color is a hazy golden orange. The pour produces a lasting, rocky, off-white/beige head that leaves some lacing. The flavor has a rich caramel maltiness and a fairly aggressive grapefruit and floral hop bitterness. The palate is medium to full and quite creamy. Crooked Tree is an impressive IPA.
12 oz bottle. tronraner (1933), Seymour, Tennessee, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 12, 2007 Bottle at the Knoxville Spring(ish) tasting. Pours hazy brown gold with thin beige head. The aroma is bread, citrus hops, a little bit of pine, and some birch bark. The flavory is toasty malt under some zesty, piney hops. General bitterness by the finish. It leaves a slightly bitter, woody aftertaste. Not bad.
