| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 21, 2009 Clear orange color with little head. Muted hop aroma and a somewhat thin bittery taste. Felt like this needed more of a malt backing or perhaps a different blend of hops. Grovlam (3881), Copenhagen, Denmark
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 15, 2009 Bottle @ Yard House in Palm Springs. Small fizzy white head that mostly diminished. Spare display of lacework. Cloudy golden color. Aroma of peach, pineapple, grapefruit, fruit, citrus. Over the palate came caramel, toasted malt and again strong hoppy notes. Medium to full bodied with an average carbonation and dry texture. Moderated to heavy bitter and sweet flavor. Lingering bitter dry pineapple like finish. Very drinkable for a DIPA. arondee (183), Tucson, Arizona, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 13, 2009 Pours a copper/orange, completley opaque. Nice white head with good lacing. The aroma is strong with floral, citrus, a malt dominating. Taste is very well balanced, a good amount of hops but not overly bitter and a lot of malt. This is a pretty heavy IPA with a very thick mouthfeel, not really a session beer. The alcohol is masked well. Very tasty! larryLSB (169), La Selva Beach, California, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 30, 2009 On tap at the Sudwerk Brewfest 2009. This golden ale poured with a decent beige head and a pine aroma. There is a sweet fruity caramel malt flavor with an abundance of hop bitterness. The overall flavor is a bit out of balance, with hops and alcohol overpowering the malt, but this is still very drinkable. NJJereme (272), Saint Petersburg, Florida, USA
