| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 8, 2009 This 22 oz bottle was via a trade with Strykzone. Thanks. It poured an orange color with a very robust white head and very distinct lacing rings. The nose is of citrus and floral hops, with a hint of pine. Medium mouthfeel and a little alcohol burn. Flavor is bitter and full of citrus. Long bitter finish. A very nice DIPA. SpringsLicker (2043), Tennessee, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 26, 2009 Deep copper body with a good off-white head.
Light hop aroma, some fruitiness.
Watery weak palate with almost no hop bitterness or malt sweetness going on in the flavor department.
Thin.
Real disappointment. Indra (2036), Prairie Village, Kansas, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 22, 2009 22oz. bottle. Fruity, hoppy and lightly sweet aroma, strong pine and citrus overtones, along with lighter notes of honey, caramel, flowers and leafy herbs. Hazy light-medium orange-amber color, head is fine but lasting. Flavor profile is strongly bitter and full of citric hop flavor as promised, some woody tones and background toasty, caramel malt sweetness becoming apparent, the finish showing a bit of astringency, peppery spice and lingering grapefruit character. Dry, lightly oily palate, body is full but not overly so. Alcohol presence is nowhere to be found. Tasty enough. travita (1952), Frisco, Texas, USA

Pours copper, beige head.
Aroma is malty, caramel with notes fo hops.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 3, 2009 Pretty simple, you know what you’re getting, no frills Double IPA. A little thin bodied, but that’s actually a positve here, I like that better than heavy, syrupy DIPAs. In addition to the expected Caramel and piney hops, there a nice black pepper note in there as well. Tasty Ibrew2or3 (2766), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 28, 2009 Courtesy of kiefdog. Pours clear copper with thin off white head. The aroma has pine and resiny hops to go along with some spicy hops and slick sweet maltiness. The taste is much the same with thick hoppiness I love to sink my teeth into going from pine, resiny sap and grassiness to spicy hops that all run straight into smooth slick malt sweetened hop flavor. Wow, solid IIPA.
