Aroma is citrus and lots of pine. Flavor starts sweet grapefruit with a little grass followed by sharp pine ending with a tart grapefruit rind bitter finish. Medium bodied and oily with moderate carbonation. csbosox (1080), Prairie Village, Kansas, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 9, 2007 2006 GABF Huge c-hop aroma, possibly a backing of honeyish malt. Taste is huge c-hops and really much else. Thick. This is a typical unbalanced west coast IIPA, the way they should be. bombshelter (349), Washington, Washington DC, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Dec 8, 2007 Wow. Bottle from WF. aroma is herbal, grassy hops. pours a cloudy amber, pretty decent co2. there is a hint of malt in front but it is quickly overwhelmed by a full assault of hops. citric, a touch of pine, all sorts of green grass, just delicious. fantastic brew, hides the 9.2% very well. scrizzz (1266), kirkland, Washington, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 7, 2007 Clear auburn, oily white head. Smoth but dank hop aroma, grapefruit, orange and pine. Intensely bitter upfront but backed up by a huge hop flavor. Though very nice to look at, it has an overly filtered flavor to it, lending a bit of a harsh edge. drfabulous (1235), Columbia, Missouri, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Dec 6, 2007 Oh man. Just the way I like my IPAs. Super hops. Intense citrus/pine taste. Another fine beer from Moylans. piscator34 (1122), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Dec 2, 2007 Light amber in colour with moderate carbonation. Aromas of grapefruit, leafy hops, pine, and a bit of candied fruit. Standard west coast IIPA mix of chewy caramel malts, and resiny/citrusy hops. Quite a long grassy finish on this one, which is nice after all of the caramel malts. Quite good, but could be a tad drier. Thanks to oakbluff for sharing this one with me. robforbes (1090), Bremerton, Washington, USA
