Nicely balanced between sweet malt and hop bitterness but not as bitter as one might expect for such massive hopping. Clearly most of the hops are in the dryhopping. This is more of a liqueur and should be sipped accordingly. A fantasy brew to be sure! drpimento (828), La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Apr 3, 2007 Having this at the Bodega Brew Pub downtown La Crosse, Wisconsin USA. Poured with a small head and some lace. Nice orange amber color. Fruity, honey, hoppy, malty aroma. Flavor is the same but with riper fruit. Some similarities to barleywine. Heavenly body. Long sweet finish. Not a session beer at all. still--- Yum!. Once in a while on draft here too. Dogfish120 (143), Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA

Love the rich thick mouthfeel combined with the fruity sweetness and alchohol kick.....who couldn’t want more? Def worth the price. Rballs01 (264), Mountain Lakes, New Jersey, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Aug 25, 2006 What a Gem. Poured a smooth deep yellow. Not much head. Smelled like cotten candy and caramalized sugars. It coated the palate with a silky blanket-like coat. The finish was hot! Heated up the ears and senses. Delicious for a sipping beer. Another brilliantly brewed elixer from the town of Delware in the state of Dogfish Head. BitchesBrew (710), Berkeley, California, USA

Aroma is strong pine/hop resins. Thick, syrupy mouthfeel and immediate sweetness! The sweetness dominates, then the alcohol warms the palate- I was expecting more bitterness with this brew, but the fruity, floral sweetness takes over and fills the mouth. I expected a lot from this beer, and it provides, but I’m not sure about it being the "holy grail for hopheads". I’ll take the 90 minute for a hop assault, the 120 is a freak of nature. kevin62 (267), New Jersey, USA

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jul 6, 2009 Aroma is strong, hoppy, and surprisingly fruity - the orange and hop aromas battle for dominance, so one whiff is hoppy while the next is of orange. It pours a hazy orange-amber with a fairly thick and rather persistent white head. Flavor is richly orange and a little sweet with a firm hoppy but only slightly bitter hop undertone. This is quite unlike any IPA I have ever had - well worth the effort of setting up a trade! Texture is rich and silky smooth, yet fairly tingly and lively. bikesandbeers (468), Los Angeles, California, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Aug 8, 2007 Bottle courtesey of WeeHeavySD. The best birthday present I got. bottled 5/2006. opened 8/2007. Aparently this was about the perfect age. Poured a dark copper color with a large slightly off head head, filling my Duvel Tulip. Aroma was intense, sweet citurs malt, brown sugar and honey. There was to hint to the alcohol. Flavor burst in my mouth with complex sweetness. honey, lemon, orange. the finiish had some hop flavor with pine and grapefruit, but almost no bitterness. Left a stick coating in my mouth, but in a goodway. Slighly warming, but i had no idea more than one-fifth of this bottle was alcohol. Crazy awesome brew. Thanks so much Jon.
