| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 5, 2008 Bottle. Nice cloudy orange copper pour with a nice white fluffy head. ARoma of hops, hops, and more hops. Some malt and citrus mixed in. Taste of a huge amount of hops and citrus notes. Nice alcohol burn on the way down. Very good.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 4, 2008 Pours burnt orange/copper with a long lasting medium to large offwhite head. Looks good. Man, that aroma is intense. Strong pine, grapefruit, and fresh plants (snapdragons? something like that) with an occasional split second of malt showing up on the nose, but never long enough to pinpoint. Flavor is all hops with bitter grapefruit/citrus, pine, floral, and the slightest bit of toasty brown sugar but only if you "chew" the beer a bit. Finishes earthy and bitter, balancing a fairly intense char sensation and the nice hop flavors pretty. Drinkable creamy texture with medium carbonation and barely any noticable heat. The lack of malt bothers me in the mouthfeel and flavor though, but some people are gonna be fond of that. The aroma certainly kicks ass, but I want a bit more sweetness. orderofjames (6), Dana Point, California, USA does not count | 4.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | May 3, 2008 I’m in Hop Heaven.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 2, 2008 Hazy reddish-orange. Huge pillowy light tan head that hung around for a good while. Some sticky lace. Fresh grapefruit, some ripe mangoes, pine resin, citrus and grass with some fleeting floral notes. Flavor mainly dominated by grapefruit, lemon pith, orange peel and spruce with an abundant brown sugar and butterscotch sweetness. There is an omnipresent fruity character that shines through the astrigency. Body is medium thick and buttery soft. Maybe a little diacetyl. Finishes...bitter, but not as harsh as some other DIPA’s. Fantastic. skortila (2893), Bunnik, Netherlands
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 1, 2008 Bottled. Aroma has a lot of hop-fruitiness (mango and grapefruit) and pine. Hazy, red-orange coloured with a short head. Taste is very bitter with an enormous astringent finish. It has pine, ripe mango and some grapefruit. A bit of a non-sense brew. Every 15 minutes a new hop added... go figure... Funny artwork. Just smell this beer, don’t drink. It’s over the hop-top.
