| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Oct 14, 2009 7.5% ABV. 16 ounce sample at the brewpub. Sweet citrus hop aroma with a great deal of orange-tangerine. Nicely aromatic. Transparent copper body with a nice, creamy off-white head. Sweet, sugary underattenuated start. Watery body. Becomes a little husky towards the end. SPicy hopped bitterness with some noticeable tannins come in later. Flawed, not so good.

Nose is caramel, a lot of piney hop, rich malt that reminds me of something Flying Bison would release. Flavor is that rich malt, bitter pine needles, honey. Really bitter finish. garthicus (1289), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 16, 2009 Draught at the brewpub. Pours a nice clear deep golden-orange with an average size creamy white head. Aroma is decently hoppy with lots of resiny hops.
Flavour’s the same, lots of resiny hops backed by caramel malt. Quite a bitter finish and the alcohol is well hidden. Good body for the style, medium to full. A solid DIPA.

Appearance: clear amber brew with large creamy top , thick wrap of lace. Nose: strong , sweet citrus-caramel feel supported by warmth of vodka. Proper aroma. 7+. Flavor/Palate : Mid full bodied. Sticky ,sugary texture, caramel based with citric alpha hop in blend. Low carbonation. Alcohol was well covered. Good effort but felt underpowered for double IPA.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 18, 2009 Enjoyed a the brewpub. One of their better brews although a fair DIPA. A bunch of C-hops in the taste, the aroma, and then sugared down. Not very balanced. Lacey. More of a 1.5X IPA. Average mouthfeel though really tastes like sugar added in the mouthfeel as well. italianjohn (360), Bensalem, Pennsylvania, USA
