| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 27, 2003 Updated: Aug 20, 2004I went to Pizza Port (Solana) twice this weekend and ignored it the first time figuring this was nothing more than an empty bottle with a flag in it. The second time I inquired to find out it was available, and was only too glad to know that they were actually bottling. I got #234. It's kind of an IPA crashing into a barley wine. Pale amber brownish color, almost no foam. Strong hop aroma but after swirling the glass I get plenty of prune and raisin fruits. Complex multi-dimensional palate, sweet barley wine fruity intro, intense spice and bitter citrus from the hops in the finish, spicy jalapeno like aftertaste, and vanilla smoothness.

Flavor is very bitter and hoppy(tangy citrus and pine) Also with sweet caramel malts. vyvvy (2068), Hazelwood, Missouri, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Aug 14, 2007 Pours clear golden copper with a small tan head. The aroma is very balanced.... well, maybe not - it is a hop BOMB. There is citrus, pine, pineapple, tropical fruits, soapiness and even resin on the nose. Medium / full body that is very smooth and resiny with lush soft carbonation. The flavor starts with big toasted caramel malt that is pleasant, but very overshadowed by the hearty dominant hops. They start with tropical fruits, wood, pine and citrus. The finish has pine cones, pine needles, and earthiness. Your mouth feels like it has been paintbrushed with a layer of hop resin. Thumbs up for this truly exceptional IIPA that is made for the over-the-top hophead. Dogbrick (2906), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 16, 2008 Sample at Stone. Pours a clear deep amber color with a medium thin and somewhat fizzy white head that burns away steadily. Aroma of citrus and piney hops as well as touches of caramel and malt. Rich and flavorfully bitter with loads of hops and citrus offset by a good malty base. The finish is dry and hoppy with a lingering grapefruit and hops aftertaste. Maybe suffered for sampling after Stone’s Ruination but still a very good IIPA. rmalloy (195), los angeles, California, USA
