Flavor is a fizzy piney liquid with a bite. This beer bites and backs off leaving the mouth with a nice grapefruit feeling. Double IPA brewed with feeling. GAManiac (1184), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 29, 2008 Pours a bright golden amber with a dense one-finger head that shows extremely good retention and minimal lacing. Huge fresh hops smell, like walking through a pine forest filled with grapefruits. Also got some citrus notes as well, lemon maybe and some malty sweetness in the background. Quite nice!T: Hello pine forest! Dominant piney hop flavor with a slight malt base. Also got some nice fruity notes leading to a long lasting hoppy bitterness that lingered on the tongue. Pleasant bitter, prickly thickness in the mouthfeel. It’s definitely a great example of a hoppy West Coast DIPA. Drinkability is great and I would definitely seek this out.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 11, 2007 Dark copper with small head. Sweet floral and piney hop aroma. Taste is bitter hops, but plenty of backing malt. Definitely more citrus hops in the taste, with some sweetness and alcohol coming through in the end. Just another great hop bomb to add to the mix. Nicely done. FlssmrBrewAlum (1170), Lisle, Illinois, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 11, 2009 12 oz draft on tap at Binny’s South Loop (Chicago, IL). Pours a highly bubbly bright amber with sunny gold notes, light hazed with a minimal white head. Aromas are hoppy, citrusy with a subtle maltiness. Citrusy orange and grapefruit steal the aroma show. Initial taste is hops, floral bouquet with grass and some subtle resinous pine. Lighter carmel malts mixed with some biscuity notes. Hops are special: sharp but relaxing floral and citrus of grapefruit, orange, and some lighter pine. Touch of tropical in the backend. I liked this a lot. Fresh. Very nice. dm9831 (1167), Monee, Illinois, USA
