| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Apr 7, 2008 Received a growler of this in October and never got around to finding people to share it with until the end of December. I was told it wouldn’t last, but it was great!
It poured thick and dark copper.
The hops wafted up quite strongly.
The hops were definitely apparent in the taste. Although strong, the bite didn’t bring the drinkability down at all. Overall, I enjoyed it and will be looking to pick up another growler when it’s offered. goldtwins (4084), Nesconset, New York, USA

Citrus and catty aroma with caramel and candy like malt. The flavor had a citrus start with citrus rind flavor and bitterness at the end. Mild bitterness and medium bodied. Some warmth in the chest. pantanap (1358), Chicago, Illinois, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 2, 2007 Nice orange color poured from a bottle. No label. Smells nice, pine mostly, touch of malt. Flavor is nice citrus, some pine, with a unique malt flavor supporting everything. More malt than I am used to in a DIPA, but they do it well. Nice and thick mouthfeel. One of the best from Michigan Brewing.
