| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 1, 2009 Dark orange hue with thin ring of white head, sticky lacing. Nose is pine resin and thick bread malts and light citrus. Flavor is a thick balanced DIPA with plenty of rich malty backbone to complement the sticky resiny hop flavor, touch of grass, orange citrus, honey, and caramel. Full-bodied, chewy texture, medium carbonation. A big and thick DIPA with lots of flavor and balance, not a hop bomb at all, borders on the barleywine style.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 30, 2009 Courtesy of ditmier. Pours copper with gold hues and thin white head. The aroma is resiny with pine, grassiness, tree sap and citrus. The taste has malts and pine hops mixing to create a chewy resiny tasty sensation. It gets a bit citrusy toward the finish. Overall a nice brew but a bit timid for the style. jimbowood (956), Athens, Georgia, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 21, 2009 bottle. syrupy and sugary, no surprise, but at least somewhat clean in the malt department. sticky and syrupy body, heavy and weighty. honey and pine, some light citrus, light solvent notes. clean and simple, while not excellent it’s thankfully drinkable.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 18, 2009 Bottle, from Bevmo. Really nice looking beer. Deep amber color. Really hazy, yeasty pour. Aroma is of citrus and spice. Flavor is really really sweet. Muted hops, and a really thick mouthfeel. Not bad, not great. Reminded me of 90 minute IPA, actually. fakepurseninja (785), Washington, USA
| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Oct 13, 2009 Bright orange hued cloudy straw body. Sickly sweet malt backbone lowlighted by caramel. Almost zero carbonation. Astringent and soapy with smackdown of stewed compost-bin veggies.
