| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 22, 2009 Clear orange to amber pour covered by a small white cover. Cane sugar, white grapes, litchi, bay leaves and orange come out of this malty, moderately aromatic , quite green IPA. Intense on the cerealic maltiness, making it a sweet, caramelized offering , at times bready, at times earthy. Old earthy oranges aromas accompany the finishing hops which provide a more than honest bitterness. As with the alt, this is not a particularly aromatic beer nor is it very refreshing. It’s fun to drink, but this high level of sweetness, which lasts in the finish, fighting it off with the bitterness, will certainly keep me from buying it by the 6-pack.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 31, 2009 Bottle: Poured a deep copper color ale with a medium foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of floral hops with deep rich caramel malt is quite pleasing. Taste is also more oriented towards caramel malt and floral hops then most other IPA out there. Body is about average with good carbonation. This one is a lot more geared toward floral notes then an actual hops bomb I usually taste – well done and definitively something I could drink a couple in a sitting. dkachur (2360), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
