| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Sep 17, 2009 Bottle. Pours hazy orange with a tan, frothy head. Aroma of spice, raisins, hops, and pine. Body is full, with a fantastically smooth finish. No trace of alcohol, and some outrageous lacing. Outstanding IPA. yumyum (122), barrie, Ontario, Canada
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 16, 2009 my second favourite imp ipa. Did head to head with df90 and ruination. This had the best nose (the citrusy hop sweetness) Great flavour profile. citrus, slightly spicey, and a smooth hoppiness with a nice finish (not overly dry) Scouser (40), Pennsylvania, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 4, 2009 Tap @ Publick House, Brookline, Mass. Pours golden-orange with a fluffy and lingering white head. Aroma is citrus hops with a little malt and caramel thrown in for good measure. Taste is malt and citrus with a hop bitterness so wonderfully typical of West Coast IPA’s. Mouthfeel is much more creamy than your average IPA, but I won’t complain about that. arrogantb (700), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 1, 2009 Orange-golden color with a fluffy, persistent head. The smell is hoppy, caramel, taste is hoppy citrus flavors, good malts, creamy mouthfeel and a nicely bitter aftertaste. For 10% alcohol it is masterfully hidden. This is a great IPA and I really liked the brewery and staff when I visited. If you like IPA’s, hops, or just beers go get your hands on one of these somehow. Buttery qualities are the only detractors.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 1, 2009 On tap at the Liberty. Pours a orange color with a nice white head to it. Smell is hoppy with a little bit of citrus. Extremly bitter bitter on first taste with a citrus pine finish. Not nearly as good Wipe Out mkade8883 (52), Goleta, California, USA

Appearance: Orange color, reminds me of a pumpkin.
Aroma: Strong aroma. Couldn’t quite put a finger on what it reminded me of. Perhaps a few of my early homebrew IPAs. Not too bad.
Flavor: Really, really bitter. Has sweet finish with lingering bitteress.
Palate: Low carbonation, though this may have been the result of a low quality glass with lots of nucleation points for CO2.
Overall: Not my favorite DIPA or PP offering.
