| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 9, 2009 This has the same honeyed malt character you find in Anderson Valley Pal Ale and IPA. Thick and malty, really chewy, for the style. Hops are there in abundance, but it was the malt that was most memorable.

Aroma is all floral and citrus hops, and it’s very nice. Nice sweet malt and candy sugar balanced with a nice grapefruit hop finish that ends mild and dry.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 26, 2009 Bottle into a pint glass. Mild aroma, hint of citrus. Pours cloudy orange, with small head and not much lacing. For a double IPA, it is not as hoppy as I thought it would be. Really nice feel in the mouth and well balanced mix of hops and malty finish. Really liked this one. wwwdottom (27), Breese, Illinois, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 12, 2009 12 oz bottle - pours an opaque orange with very little head - very minimal lacing - a boatload of particles floating throughout the brew that gradually stetle at the bottom - Citrus hops in the aroma - Bitter on the palate but the malts balance it out very nicely - overall this a very nice brew!

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 30, 2009 Bottle. Cloudy orange hue with a whispy layer of spotty head. Nose is modest citrus hops with bready malts and slight alcohol. Flavor is surprisingly thick with bread-grain malt, modest hop bitterness and citrus-to-pine hop flavor dominate in the middle, slight grassy tones, finishes slightly sweet with alcohol warmth. Medium-full body, thick texture, modest carbonation. A balanced DIPA that is full and malty, hops are there but not at the typical DIPA level.
