| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 26, 2005 Draft. Hazy amber beer with a nice off-white head. Nig citrus/tropical fruit aroma thats almost Pliny-like. Sweet malt flavor with lots of fruity hops - citrus, apricot, tropical. Nice lingering hop finish. Full bodied. Very good. aracauna (2391), Georgia, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 15, 2006 Hazy peach-colored liquid is topped by a fleeting, white head. The aroma whaps you in the sinuses with a huge pineapple and grapefruit hoppiness. Beautiful aroma. The flavor is a bit of a letdown. Not because it’s bad, but because it just ain’t a strong as I expected after that aroma. The flavor is a mild maltiness with a very light bitterness. Reid (1092), Salem, Oregon, USA

Hazy golden beer ( almost looks like a trad. German hefe), large eggshell white head.
Strong aromas of pine and spicey hop, some hints of valencia orange for some reason.
Sweet and malty for a second then a torrent of piney/citric hopping cleanses, no scours almost the tongue, then it sort of balances out again in the end.
Very drinkable and feels very nice and light on the palate, which i think is an advantage in a very hoppy beer.
Nice beer but not quite a Double IPA, but more than just a plain old IPA. I think this fits rather neatly in the middle of the two categories. axilla (962), New Providence, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 4, 2008 Poured a cloudy orange color body with a huge, sticky, off-white foam. The aroma was quite floral with some resiny pine notes. Flavors are grapefruits, pine needles, coriander, clove, and a semi-sweet malt backbone. A little medicinal at first but that wore off after a few minutes. AleDrinker (1090), Sunnyvale, California, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 8, 2007 Pours hazy amber with a huge rocky head. Aromas are a nice hoppy blend of pine, citrus, and a hint of lemon. Flavor is slightly sweet balanced out by the potent bitterness. Finish is dry and bitter. Good IIPA.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 18, 2008 Bottle 2007 from freinds at the Dilly Deli. Poured a hazy golden color with an average frothy white head that lasted with good lacing. Heavy complex citrus and resin hoppy aroma with a small alcohol tone. Medium body with a smooth slick texture. Heavy bitter flavor with a medium bittersweet and small alcohol bite finish of moderate duration. This is a standout beer.
