| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 12, 2009 Pours a orange amber color.
Very little head, no lace.
Some citrus, pine aroma, but not much.
First sip, rather balanced and i was questioning it’s IPA status at first.
But as further sips continue, the hoppy was build up, thank goodness. But still with some malt rounding out still.
This is good, but not as good as the experimental hop henge.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 11, 2009 Sampled at GABF. Dark orange pour with an offwhite head. Aroma is sharp citrus rinds, grass, grapefruit. Flavor is pretty good. I liked this one. ultracake (35), salem, Oregon, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Oct 10, 2009 22 oz bottle 5.69 from university market. A pretty standard IPA, good hoppiness, citrus, and floral make it very drinkable. A solid effort, if not entirely inventive. RollinHard (761), Fort Worth, Texas, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Oct 7, 2009 Pours burnt orange with a slight red tint and a creamy off-white head. Aroma is quite fresh with orange citrus, pine, lemon and grass with french toast sort of malt background. Tastes malty and hoppy at once, neither character winning out; flavors include caramel, toffee, sweet toast, and flavorful hops of citrus, grass and earth. Finishes with caramel, lemon zest, and buttered toast with an aftertaste of toast and grapefruit. Medium bodied and absolutely effortless to drink, this is very smooth and moderately creamy. Everything I liked about Cinder Cone seems magnified and fully realized here, with a bit more hops (flavor and aroma only! little bitterness). I want another one.
