Aroma of fresh juicy grapefruity hops and good light caramel malty sweetness. Starts with good fullness and resiny citrusy hops with a nice toasty caramel sweetness for balance before a drier bittersweet, slightly warming finish. A pretty good IIPA.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 5, 2009 Updated: Jun 6, 2009750mL Bottle. A slightly foamy hop character, with a bit of hop cone pungency. Pours a cloudy
reddish amber, with a real creamy off-white. Flavor is wicky-wack. There’s some
weird caramel red malt and a bit of funky brett belgian that doesn’t pull
through. Very dry and a little alcoholic. Harsh at times. Crisp and leafy. This
is okay, but a bit weird. As it warms, it softens a little somehow, gives more less harsh hop expression and yields detail in some of the hop character. 1FastSTi (2569), Glendale, Wisconsin, USA

The beer pours to a deep ruby mahogany body with a nice champagne carbonation and a really tall frothy off-white head. The aroma is floral and soapy. Dove or other hand soaps. The flavor is bitter soaps and hops. The palate is extremely bitter and unbalanced. Almost oily. This is hugely disappointing. WeeHeavySD (3009), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 26, 2009 10th rating, 750ml via BBB63, shared with bartzilla. Pours deep orange with a 2 finger tan head. Nose is sweet, hoppy, and nice. Taste is sweet, hoppy, resin, overall not bad. Ughsmash (4050), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 25, 2009 Thanks to Mike for the 750! Poured hazy coppery-garnet with a gigantic beige head. The aroma gave a floral, soapy initial impression over genero-pale malts.. softer spices and a touch of earth as well.. too soapy for my liking. The flavor was also soapy with floral and lighter fruit bitterness rising through the drink.. bitterness really ramped up through the finish, losing some character.. pale and somewhat bready malts at the core.. rough finish. Heavier-bodied and well-carbonated on the palate with huge bitterness all over the place.. hot at the end.. never came together for me. bitbucket (2034), Kirkland, Washington, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 19, 2009 Pours cloudy light amber with a lacy pale yellow head. Earthy aroma with fruit esters and flowers. Medium body. Earthy finish that leaves just a little band-aid.
