| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 27, 2009 Very nice and bitter IPA. Wonderful floral / citric nose. Taste is a bit thin, but still very satisfying. I had been looking forward to trying one of Mikkeller’s "american" styled beers. Not disappointing whatsoever. BoBoChamp (1423), Gent, Belgium

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Dec 25, 2009 Hazy orange pour with a mountainous interestingly shaped topographic head that leaves a thick coat of lacing. Aroma is bursting with sweet citrus and nectar fruits with a strong backbone of straw, grass, and pine. Malt profile is medium with notes of caramel and biscuit. Flavor is resinous and sappy- almost bracingly so. Huge notes of citrus and evergreen with an excellent balance of sweet caramel malt. Palate is suitably dry and resinous with a full mouthfeel and lively effervescence. Delicious and well crafted. MPA (514), Nørrebro(formerly Aalborg), Denmark
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 25, 2009 Hazy amber with an off white head. Spruce, grass, citrus in aroma. Lots of tonic in flavour along with grass, a sligt sweetness with elements of raisin and ripe fruit in small amounts. cbeers21 (585), Miami, Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 24, 2009 Nice pour. Citrusy pine notes waft off the top with grapefruit and orange being featured prominenetly. Certainly some potent and lingering sticky caramel malts with sugared fruit echoeing in the background. A nice melange of flavor and attitude. Very direct yet with tremendous depth and nuanced flourish. Well done j12601 (1340), Poughkeepsie, New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 18, 2009 Bottle. Pours a deep hazy brown with a large beige head. Clean light pineapple and kumquat on some slightly oxidized malt with an earthy plum and vanilla note. Medium bodied, big malty earthiness. Long bitter grapefruit and a bit of oxidized malt again. Possibly a bit old, but still tasty. tokyogoat (576), San Diego, California, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Dec 17, 2009 Bottle picked up from City Beer in San Francisco.
Pours a copper color with a thick egg shell head.
Nose is heavy with sweet caramel and toffee and bread.
Taste is straight ass. Good amount of caramel and sugar sweetness, the hops taste like rotten lettuce. Moderate bitterness, slight vegetable taste. Chemical aftertaste. hophead75 (1964), Boonton, New Jersey, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 15, 2009 bottle from BIg Z Beverage. Lightly hazy orange in color with a medium off white head. Aroma is citrusy - grapefruit, some light resin, a touch of malt in the back. Taste has an assertive amount of cascade- grapefruit, a touch of flowers and earth, medium malt body with some light crystal and biscuity munich malt - a touch of yeasty bread. Hops are moderate in intensity, lingering semi-bitter finish.
