| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 27, 2007 Bottle. Great looking brew. Pours hazy amber with a good tan head. Nose of citrus, flowers and caramel malt. Taste is citrus and caramel, sweet. Bitterness lingers for a while, good amount, but not overwhelming. Much more malt than I would’ve thought.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 27, 2007 Duck Island, Seattle Amber colour, slightly hazy. Chewy, earthy, with lots of grapefruit and crystal malt. Extra chewy on the palate, resiny, crystal malt and more grapefruit. Balanced but for the lack of rye. Good brew, but not great. posikyle (165), Alabama, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 5/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 26, 2007 Pours a deep amber color. Very flowery and citrucy aroma, not much head. Very hoppy. Would be a great beer except for the aftertaste, which reminds me of old socks and wet dog. Gusler (2655), Tucson, Arizona, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Oct 25, 2007 The beer releases from the 22 ounce bottle reddish amber with a large creamy of white head that slowly fades leaving the lace a firm sheet upon the glass. Nose is rich in sweet malt, the big hop flowery aroma under pins the malt, citrus like in its crispness, fusel alcohol quite noticeable, grassy, start has a pleasant malt presence, alcohol and hops pound the palate, top is medium to full. Finish has a stern acidity; the hops potent, alcohol blast the taste buds. Aftertaste dry, most certainly a belly warmer, I think a little aging would help this beer, but for those who like “Big Hops” and “Big ABV”, this is your beer. lalu (12), Morin Heights, Quebec, Canada
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 24, 2007 Appettizing amber color with nice head on top.Smells of caramel and hops.
First sip brought me to a different place..
Slightly sirupy with a superb maltiness and tasty hops in the finish.
WICKED BEER! i had not looked at the alcool % and really could not tell it was 10%. drfabulous (1268), Columbia, Missouri, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 19, 2007 Wow. Really surprising. I’ve also considered the HeBrew beers to be a joke. An assumption made only because of the packaging. But this is a nice double IPA. Really strong tasting. Full. Nice malt. I’d buy this again. Blackbarrel (116), new york, New York, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Oct 17, 2007 From Fairway,redhook. Absolutely the supreme IPA. Carmelised hops,with the strenght of the xtreme IPAs--arrogant bastards et al, but without the medicinal aftertastes. Just really nice drinkable stuff. dpjuart (670), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 16, 2007 Bomber split with ’Naka courtesy of Big ’Naka via Little ’Naka. Pours amber red with nice white head, 1/2 a finger, slightly foamy. Strong nose of rye bread and alcohol, a bit of hops, mainly floral. Rye and alcohol are predominate, with carmel following, and a great finish of hops. "It’s the proverbial ’party in my mouth and everyone’s invited’", said ’Naka. I couldn’t agree more. Fantastic beer. I want to drink more of it.
