| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 14, 2009 22oz fresh bottle. Pours a nice amber orange with no head. Aroma is hoppy and bitter with just some oakiness. The hops provide some fruitiness as well. Flavor is upfront hoppiness resin and fruit, then the oak appears as it rolls over the tongue. Finally the caramel sweetness finishes long and strong. Really nice and very easy to drink. LtDan (522), Los Angeles County, California, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Jun 13, 2009 Appearance: Pours a bright copper with a small amount of gathering suds.
Aroma: Citrus, a small bit of wood, sugary caramel sweetness, and pears. Very perfumy.
Taste: Honey, pear, bitterness, caramel and wood.
Mouthfeel: Juicy and sticky.
Overall: Fantastic, but not an IPA. If you are looking for that fantastic, unique blend of hops used in OG Unearthly IPA, you won’t. This is nearing barleywine territory, and is mighty impressive. beerdetox (14), Illinois, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 10, 2009 Bottle shared with Hogtown Harry, Garthicus, Blankboy, and GregClow, courtesy of Harry. Mild oak/vanilla aroma, very nice. Dark orange, small white head. Good taste - basically unearthly with vanilla. I’ll take my unearthly on its own, thanks, but this was a neat experiment that turned out ok. glennmastrange (868), hobe sound, Florida, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Jun 10, 2009 Bottle. Heavy malt aromas of roasted and caramel, moderate grapefruit and herbs for the hops, light dough for the yeast, and background notes of date, dried berries, wood, honey and vanilla. Head is small, slightly off-white, with fair lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is clear light orange. Flavor starts moderately sweet and lightly acidic, then finishes lightly sweet, acidic and bitter. Palate is medium to full, oily almost creamy, and has a soft almost flat carbonation. Astounding aromas, fantastic flavors and an unearthly finish. A superb DIPA. Vac (2394), San Diego, California, USA
