| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 19, 2008 Apr. 2007 - Dark amber pour, strong foamy head and nice lacing. Really beautiful. Strong aroma of caramel and bitter hops. Flavor is strong sweet caramel and a hop that was neither citrus nor pine...I guess that leaves "resinous", which I never knew what that meant. Beer finishes extremely bitter, which balances out the sweet caramel malts. Good show. carl4beer (401), Fairfax Station, Virginia, USA

The finnish lingers a bit in a nice bitter way, like gnawing on a hop bud... I am digging the in your face hop of this one. imadeadguy (378), back in NJ!, New Jersey, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 18, 2008 (bottle) Pours out light copper with a decen sized white head. Pretty nice citrusy aroma, with pineapple, and what I can only describe as being ambrosia salad. Really strong flavor of sweet caramel and a decent hop finish to round things out. Medium mouthfeel, not too bad. mnapier (10), Washington, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 17, 2008 Service Temperature, 35 degrees Fahrenheit. Service Glassware, 12 ounce Tulip.
Appearance, is as expected for an IPA, amber and with a nice clarity. It pours a medium to strong off white foamy head with a lingering cobweb of lace along the glass as I consume it. Aroma, can best be described as a mix of pine, spice, and a nice finish of grapefruit along with a mild honey malt aroma.
Sipping, I detect pine, some malt sweetness, and again the citrus (grapefruit) that I expect from an member of the hop bitter, biscuit also makes an appearance here.
Overall mouthfeel is medium, but under these conditions I don’t detect cloying at all. A nice IPA indeed. Gonna get me a nice BLT with this.
