| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 11, 2009 Aroma is like a dried citrus scent with some pine as well. Appearance is a slightly cloudy amber/orange with a thick frothy white head that diminishes quickly. Flavor is lovely - not overtly sweet, but a good hoppy spice to balance out a smooth malt. Mouthfeel is creamy and very dry and bitter on the finish. A very nice IIPA. Lovely stuff here. darkguardian (506), Florida, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jun 10, 2009 22oz bottle. This beer is fucking brutal. This is the hoppiest beer I’ve ever had. In fact it was a little unpleasant to drink for me. That said its an AMAZING DIPA. Pours a golden orange, slightly hazy with a thin white head. HUge pink grapefruit nose but with a but with a slightly off putting floral note. Couldn’t place it. Interesting hop choices here. Never tasted Tomahawk before. Flavor is super spicy up front almost painfully so. Resinous pine notes in the middle with bitter citrus skins in the finish. Lingering bitterness is massive and does not go away. Impressively crafted but not really my thing. Probably one of the best DIPA’s I’ve had. I find Pliny the Elder much more pleasant to drink though. KnN (716), Greenbelt, Maryland, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 10, 2009 Pours a nice golden orange color with a thin white head. Aroma is massive grapefruit with a hint of pine and some resinous oily qualities. Flavor is citrus and pine realy nice n the front end, but kind of murders the back of your tongue. A little harsh, but a good DIPA. ilherps (226), Carbondale, Illinois, USA

The aroma is of spruce, grapefruit, and tangerine, with another floral note present. The flavor is similar, citrus and pine coming through. Overall a very nice IPA Barrios (852), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Jun 8, 2009 Pours a lacing beige head with a deep gold-orange body. Smells of pine and pineapple. Tastes the same. Some heat from hops and alcohol. Finish is bitter. Butters (1637), Virginia, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 8, 2009 Bottle shared at the 6th Cellar Reduction. Last of the night, thank god. But this was such a good one to finish on. Pours a clear orange with decent near white head. Magnificent sweet pine pineapple aroma, with some cat piss, and grapefruit. Lingering bitterness, but some sweetness present. This is amazing. But not hopstoopid. Skinnyviking (4142), Copenhagen, Denmark

Clear and beautiful amber body. Spicy and dry hoppy aroma and unfortunately also a hint of the alcohol. Dry, dusty and hoppy nutty flavor with clear indications of the alcohol. Long hops bitter aftertaste. Low carbonation. mrhoppy (209), Santa Clara, California, USA
