| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Dec 29, 2009 an amazingly good double IPA. perfect blend of hops with a candy-like sweetness that you don’t find in west-coast style IPAs. not easy to find... you have to go to winston-salem (on tap or you can buy a growler) or find a good beer bar that has it on tap. mreusch (747), Olathe, Kansas, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 17, 2009 64oz. growler, with a big thanks to Brentk56 for giving me the chance to try one of my long time Want list beers! Pours a clear dark amber with a large creamy off-white head that leaves great lacing. Aroma is a nice blend of pine and citrus, with some lesser notes of caramel and floral. Flavor is a nice bite of citrus and pine, with floral accents and a creamy caramel backbone. A nice lingering bitterness to go with a smooth mouthfeel. This one lived up to all I’d hoped, thanks again Brent! elihapa (1072), Honolulu, California, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Oct 4, 2009 Poured at 2009 GABF, Saturday session. Pours an attractive gold-orange, with a small cream colored head. Aroma is all citrus and sweeter fruits (mainly orange, pinneaple). Body is medium-light with medium attenuation, very creamy-smooth. Flavors come out with a hop tang to them, rounding appropriately with a faint malt sweetness. Freshness of the hops is so important to this beer. swoopjones (1925), Buffalo, New York, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 31, 2009 Draft at the brewpub. Amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is citrus/pine hops and caramel malt. Flavor is fairly sweet caramel malt, earth, fruity notes, and loads of citrusy/piney/resiny hops. Really well-balanced. Palate medium-full and chewy. Drinkability really high for the ABV and IBUs. Best beer I had at Foothills and pretty damn good overall. DJMonarch (6941), Northwich, Cheshire, England
