| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 20, 2009 Traded bottle. Pours a nice clear bronze colour with an off-white head and nice lacing. Pleasant pine, hop aroma plus a little caramel. Hops in the flavour are more piney than citrus (not bad). The finish is what gets me though...seems fairly medicinal and ethanol-y. Okay.

Poured clear copper color with an average fizzy off-white head that was mostly diminished with minimal lacing. Moderate to heavy sour citrus hop and small malt aroma. Medium body with slick texture and flat carbonation. Medium smooth bittersweet hoppy flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration.
This is was a good beer. Rciesla (3645), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA

Sweet pine and grapefruit dominate the nose. Lost of earthy undertones in the flavor, grassy hop resins light butter and a malty caramel. Good brew. jj21 (84), Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin, USA

Pours a fantastic hazy light orange with a 1-1/2" white fluffy head. Great lacing left. Moderate carbonation streams to the top. Big on the nose. Very hoppy, earthy, citrusy grapefruit, piney, all the usual culprets in a great IPA. The taste was amazing. Great hops up front balanced very well with the malts. Buttery mouthfeel. Very easy to drink as the alcohol is undetectible. A damn shame that it won’t be brewed again anytime soon, if ever.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 23, 2007 Review from notes from summer 2005, bottle as part of a mixed Unplugged 4-pack.
Beer pours a brilliant orange, think sun-setting orange. Head is an off-white color that leaves a pretty good lacing. Smell is hoppy, but not the typical piney/resiny hops you normally find in a double IPA, this has a more floral smell to it. There are a bit of citrus-like hops hidden in there as well. In the taste I found a bit of caramel from the malt, but the hops lead the way throughout this beer. The hops are a nice mixture of floral and citrus flavors. Medium bodied and a decent amount of carbonation. Really drinkable, as this seems to be a more tame version of a double IPA. This doesn’t necessarily fit the "Unplugged" label, but it’s still a damn good beer. ThomasE (5178), Copenhagen, Denmark
