| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 26, 2008 Nice IPA, it had all the parts, but for some reason, seemed to lack a core that brought it all together. I did enjoy Aquilo (276), California, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 22, 2008 The color is a beautiful clear red-brown. The head is about medium and cream colored. Aroma is lemon and eucalyptus, and a hint of spice: cardamom and mace. The flavor is on the lemon end of the citrus spectrum. More eucalyptus, and a good amount of vanilla. Creamy mouthfeel. Overall, quite satisfying. I loved it. garmonbozia (231), Hattiesburg, Mississippi, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jun 9, 2008 Bottle from Vintage Cellar. Maybe it’s just me but I usually love IPA and DIPA’s and I was excited to try this beer, but it just didn’t awe me like most IPA’s do. This did have a grassy citrus smell and flavor but I didn’t find it very complex. Like I said I really feel my palate is changing. I will try again at a later date dolemite77 (184), Maryville, Tennessee, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Jun 8, 2008 Probably the most interesting theme for a beer I’ve seen... the death (or should I say life) of Lenny Bruce. Good stuff. Pours a beautiful garnet amber color, with a thin white head. Aroma is of sticky hops. The high alpha hops dominate the aroma. Flavor is hoppy as hell, with a good malt base. I love rye in beers (when it is done right). It adds a strong malt harshness (I mean that in a good way) to the beer, and balances the big dose of hops this one has. Interesting theme for the beer, and an interesting mix in the flavors. robbmotiwalla (50), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 5, 2008 on tap at taco mac. creamy as hell with decent head retention. sticky with notes of caramel and some seriously piney hops. much better than the other times i’ve had it from the bottle Rogueone (506), I F&ckin’ hate those guys from, Ohio, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 2, 2008 Bottle thanks to Alan at his own HSC initiation: Nice use of rye in this example. Pours a clear amber. A medium to full-bodied brew, nice flavor of caramel malts, sweetness, and spiced citrus. Dryness of rye and pretty bitter finish. RSRIZZO (1369), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 31, 2008 Aroma of caramel and hops. Color is a nice amber gold with light carbonation and just a ring for a head. Taste is rich and citrus. Starting with a full body it goes down with a rich, thick feel. Finish comes in sweet with a caramel malty taste then an almost orange like flavor and a little pine. After taste rolls out with a hoppy bitterness. This is a bold and tasty brew and a very good example of a double IPA. Acknud (792), Morganfield, Kentucky, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 31, 2008 Everything was good but then this bitter lingering aftertaste wouldn’t go away and it turned a little metallic. That really hit my flavor score.
