Flavor is excellent, full of hops and has a lingering pleasent taste. An excellent brew. Marsiblursi (1649), Göteborg, Sweden

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 25, 2007 Part of the hop heaven West Coast package from awaisansen,,aroma is very aggresive hopping, sharp overpowering, lots going on here,almost to much sort of becomes muddled,pine is the predominant fragrance,taste is biscuity malt with that whole slew of all kind of hop taste,grassy hops piney hops, malt is there but keeps getting lost ,alcohol presence became huge,and along with the huge hop bitternessreally nailed you with a sharpness in the finish. This may be one of the first brews I would consider overhopped,maybe I’m not worthy michael-pollack (2718), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 24, 2007 Druaght: Floral hop aroma. Poured copper/amber in color with a medium-sized white head that lasted throughout. Hazy. Sparkling. Great lacing. Flavor was all hops. Tasted of pine, alcohol, and resin. Also a hint of mint in there. Medium body. Dryish texture. Lively carbonation. Overall, alcohol flavor a little too strong. NicerInPerson (337), North of Raleigh, North Carolina, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 21, 2007 The aroma was citrusy and malty with a strong estery presence. Grapefruit and a resiny, piney and citrusy hop led the charge backed up by a strong presence of caramel and a lightly nutty aromatic. The amber beer was clear with an off-white lasting head which retreated quickly but laced the glass. The flavor was malty with a strong malt backbone and a substantial bittering that was piney, resinous and citrusy, but not overdone or intrusive. the flavor was estery and fruity, but pleasantly so. The malt and hops were well achieved leading to a strong balance in the 10% ABV flavor. On the palate the body was just full, not viscous, but on the creamy side for mouthfeel with a moderate level of carbonation. Overall a very nice and smooth Double IPA. 22 ounce bottle.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Feb 17, 2007 Bottle from Sprinkle at Crwon liqour. Thanks bro. Very smooth velvety texture. Pours a nice cloudy orange with a froathy cram head that goes away fast. Smell of malt, hops and caramel. Taste is somewhat muscky with a sweet biscuity hops. Some very nice lacing going on though. Thick coats of froathy head seemed to just stick to the glass. Over all a nice beer.
