| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 6, 2009 Slightly hazy ruby with nice head retention seems too dark for a traditional ipa... HUGE grapefruit nose followed by a bit of pine, not as much malt as expected in the nose... Flavor is citrusy and piney, good flavor, but not great, not up with the best... Weirdly watery body... chronictonic (403), Wyndmoor, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Mar 25, 2009 bottle - sweet berry like aroma, mild hints of a chinook meatiness, but not what I would call hoppy at all in the nose. color is copper orange. Flavor is mild for a DIPA - on the sweet side with a mystery berry flavor - only medium to light hoppiness. At least it doesn’t have that sickly sweet over maltiness that you see in some CA DIPAs.
