This beer is no different. It’s a hop bomb. A wonderful, delicious hop bomb. If you liked Frank, you’ll love this --- it’s sister beer. awaisanen (1279), Irvine, California, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 8, 2006 On tap in Solana Beach. Amber coloring with a tall, creamy white head. Uber-hoppy aroma is dripping of tropical fruits like papaya and mango, which is accompanied by the wonderfully citrusy hoppy note. Texture is a touch creamy with a fruity, sticky quality. Tropical fruit flavors really crowd the tongue in a pleasurable fashion, only to be washed clean with the crisp wallop of a hop finish. Leaves me licking my chops for more, while enjoying the hops tingle on the edges of my tongue. KingpinIPA (842), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA

Taste of grapefruit, very sweet, a lot of flowery hops too! Nice bitterness at the end. decaturstevo (1997), decatur, Tennessee, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 21, 2007 On tap at the brewery. Slightly hazed ornge pour with a creamy head. A hard hop aroma. A very sweet flavor that finishes with a hop profile that is kick ass. Carbonation is great mouthfeel is solid. A soldi beer all round. A beer that really got my attention upon tasting. I had 3 samples just to make sure that I liked it as much as I did. And I did!!!!! Excellent offering. lordeche (397), Quincy, Massachusetts, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Dec 17, 2007 Pours a beautiful golden-orange color with a finger of white head. Aroma of pine resin, grapefruit, and tropical fruits with a slight caramel backing. Slight notes of toasted grain come out as the beer sits. Flavor is nicely piney, with citrus notes and a slightly sweet malt backbone. Slight alcohol burn. Body is fairly syrupy but still retains a nice dry finish. A really nice double IPA. talon1117 (622), Bellvue, Colorado, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 24, 2008 Pours a sparkling amber color with a canvas-colored, medium, pillowy head; settles somewhat quickly to a very small frothy bit leaving minimal lace. Nose is very intriguing; floral, pine resins, vanilla, white pepper, candied apricots, ruby red red grapefruit, and some earthen tones. Flavor is equally interestng; it starts wth candied apricots, cookie, and some ruby red grapefruit. It follows with white pepper, pine resins, bitter oranges, and starts to dry with dry grass and and earth. Palate is lively, medium to full, and sticky with minimal dryness. Finishes long and bitter with dry grass, faint cookie, and faint white pepper. A good IIPA with a good balance between hops and malts but complexitiy is a bit weak. Nothing spectacular but solid
