Interesting hop perfume aroma with almost resiny citrus, caramel, a little sulphur, sewer smell though. Flavor is caramel, pine, spruce, dry, really hop forward. Medium creamy body. Tasty and really hop forward, I can dig it. yobdoog (1431), Woodridge NY, New York, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 4, 2009 Bottle. Poured an orange-amber, clear. Aroma was nice and strong. Caramel malt, floral, sweet malt, and flowers. Flavor was really bitter for the style. An earthy bitterness in the finish. Citrus and floral as well. Some decenet caramel backbone. Pretty resinous. A light sweetness. Flavor is really bitter for me. Hop bomb. Maybe a bit too much. maxa9 (20), , Washington, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Mar 25, 2009 Bomber, purchased at Belmont Station. Snifter. Pours reddish gold. Big fluffy head. Good lacing. Spicy hop aromas. Flavor is big, strong, and bitter. This tastes more like a DIPA, which must be why I like it so much. This beer has a heavy feel to it. Not watery. Light on the carbonation. arrogantb (700), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 24, 2009 22oz bottle courtesy of vwcraig, thank you sir. Bright orange color, decent lacing but a short head. This smells malty with a bit of spicy fruit. The flavor is crazy like flowers with a bit of bitter at the finish. This was cool but either I had an older bottle or this needs more hops...

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 18, 2009 Found a bottle of this at Sam’s in Downers. Sticky orange pour with white head that dissipates into a sticky white film. Aroma is bitter with some citrus, some sugar cookie. Flavor is big and bitter. Almost like straight hop resin. Pretty excellent IPA. Doesn’t disappoint. NobleSquirrel (1106), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 11, 2009 Bottle from Liquid Solutions. Pours a clear copper color with a sticky/soapy head. Nose is quite resiny with some orange coming through. Nice and slippery mouthfeel. Taste doesn’t have much citrus, more of a floral woodiness coupled with more resin. Pretty big and a very good IPA. Nice. HighWine (163), , California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Mar 11, 2009 Clear copper color with good lacing. Floral, citrus nose. Excellent mouthfeel -- very full bodied on the palate. Taste is floral and citrusy like the nose but then Cascade bitterness moves in and lingers. I noticed that the bitterness becomes less prominent after a few sips.
