| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 10, 2008 Courtesy Oakes and Beershine. The dark, reddish orange body is hazy, topped by a small cap of creamy, off-white head. Soapy, spotty lacing marks the glass. Aromas include big, buttery, sweet toffee malts, some doughy yeast, and a grapefruit and orange hop profile. Flavors again start out with big toffee and caramel notes, followed by big citrus rind bitterness and some spicy, peppery yeast. The body is thick and somewhat syrupy. Overall, its a decent, big, malty IIPA. mabel (2612), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 25, 2008 Bomber - Poured a cloudy dark orangish-amber in color with a tight light tan head that stuck around. Some nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is definitely citrus and piney hops, but there is definitely also a of sweet malts. Flavor is strong of grapefruit and citrus with a hefty amount of malt to back it up... brown sugar, caramel and the like. Finishes nicely bitter and long with a faint hint of malty sweetness at the end. I liked this one!
