| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 17, 2006 DBF 2005. Amber, good lasting off white head and good condition. Good resinous hop and background sweet caramel malt notes in the nose,full bodied in the mouth with the hefty caramel sweetness more than amply balanced by solid resinous hops. Lingering hoppy finish with a tingling bitterness.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 2, 2007 In the bottle at the Beertopia Great Divide tasting. Pours a dark amber with an off white head. Fruity berry hop aromas round out the intense hop bouquet. The flavor has a giant malt sweetness to the punch which is so large that it is even in need of even more boiling hops. I think I prefer Titan ever so slightly. larsga (3000), Oslo, Norway
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Apr 18, 2009 Big offwhite lasting head. Hazy amber body. Strong fruity raisiny caramel aroma with toffee and pepper notes. Harmonic and delicate. Intense resiny raisiny caramelly malts taste with roasty fruity alcohol notes. Harmonic and balanced. Smooth and rounded. Full-bodied. Sharpish mouthfeel with considerable alcohol heat. Dry dusty roasty malty aftertaste with resiny notes. Excellent! Perfect balance, and easy to drink despite the strength. Fantastic malt character. (0.355l bottle, Olympen, Oslo.) ante (2969), Stockholm, Sweden
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 28, 2005 Dark orange with big and thick, slowly dissapearing foam. Bittersweet piney aroma, hints of grapefruit and pine-apples. Very hoppy, grapefruity and piney flavour with sweet undertones of exotic fruit. Long hopbitter finish.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Aug 25, 2005 The dominant aroma is herbal. There are light citrus notes as well. A great looking beer. Dark orange and slightly cloudy, with a large and creamy white head; it looks as if it could have come from a cask. The flavor is predominately floral/herbal, with only a little citrus flavor. A very bitter beer. Heavy, creamy palate. BMan1113VR (2956), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 11, 2008 Updated: Mar 24, 2009Pours with a large, creamy, off-white head, covering a hazed amber body with some particles in it. Great lace. Good retention. Aroma is ultra sweet, perfrume hops and some caramel or even chocolate malts. Honey and maybe some orange. Very malty tastes, then a bitter body. Spend a long time sipping this one. Has a bit of orange, more of an American barley wine than a DIPA. Orange and light vanilla with caramel and a hint of special B. Thick body, but a bit too fizzy carbonation. bb (2941), Martinez, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 3, 2005 Bottle. Amber color with a big off-white head. Big hoppy aroma of mostly grapefruit. Grapefruit and resin flavors with a good malt backing and some spiciness. Thick and full bodied. I love the style, but I don’t think this is better than many of the others out there. beerbuzzmontreal (2931), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Aug 21, 2005 Pours a clear reddish copper color with a thick, creamy, lasting white head. Strong and appealing aroma of citrusy hops. Excellent flavor of typical west coast citrusy hops with carame. The finish is bitter, strong and lasting. The palate is medium and creamy and the carbonation is soft. Excellent, after having the Titan IPA I was looking forward to try this one and it’s definitely not a let down, now I look forward to try Great Divide’s other beers !
