| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 22, 2008 Bottle. Pours a cloudy light orange with a thick white head. Aroma of citrus hops and cracker malt. Flavor of light citrus fruits with a nice cracker malt base, some alcohol forwardness but this is relatively smooth compared to other IIPAs. This is a pretty good IIPA and I am very surprised by the low style percentage. Give this a try, it is better than the scores suggest. radagast83 (1315), Fairfax, Virginia, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 14, 2008 Bottle shared at tasting. Thanks. Pours a clear orange color with light colored head. Smell is fruity, bright and orange rind like hops. Taste is hoppy, and sweet juicy orange like malt, but a bit dry and crisp in the finish. Very enjoyable and drinkable with very light alcohol coming through in the flavor. larsniclas (3390), Gothenburg, Sweden

Soft and smooth mouthfeel with tropicla fruits and lodas of grassy hoppiness. rickgordon (3328), Göteborg, Sweden
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 12, 2008 Bottled. A heavy, muffled sound when pouring. Orange colour nuances in the foam. The body is hazy, pale amber. Pretty much grapiness in aroma, along with tropical fruits, but a shady doughness a la homebrewers beer drags down the score here.
Clean and prominent flavouring hops. Good and fresh. A bit doughy cookie character froom either pilsner malt or bad attenuation maybe. Thorough, balanced bitterness, without being edgy. Medium maltiness but hops talk a little more, as they should of course. Pretty nice 2IPA.
