| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 5, 2007 bottle. outstanding IIPA! Stoudts delivers on this one.... very hoppy in character from start to finish. The finish on this one is awesome... pours a deep golden with a thin white head that becomes a perfect lacing. Aromas of hops and pine. Thick body on the back of the tongue full of hops - you can taste the dry hopping. It sticks with you for a while in the finish. Excellent palate overall. The abv is hidden well - was surprised to learn the content... also some notes of apricots to it. Will definitely buy again. decaturstevo (2007), decatur, Tennessee, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 1, 2007 A deep amber pour with an off white head. A hops nose with hints of malt. A rich sweet flavor that is followed by a good bitter. There was just a bit of an off after taste on the first of the beer that kept me from rating it a little higher. Solid palate and carbonation good beer. jwdevalue (158), Neptune, New Jersey, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 29, 2007 12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Bright clear copper with flat off-white head and some lace. Mild hop aroma with some pine and malt. Well-balanced fruitiness, pine, and mild bitterness. Very smooth for a strong IPA. Full-bodied, medium carbonation. An excellent beer, although I still prefer sessionable IPAs. efrumtheidiot (190), Maryland, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 28, 2007 Pours a clear amber orange with a big creme head that falls fairly slowly. Nose is like strawberry starburst candy (yeah...I said that) and hops mixed. Flavor is pretty sweet. I guess that candy nose plays more into effect than I thought it would. Not much else comes through here except that sweet tone, no hop character to speak of at all really. Feel is decent. Lots of bubble getting the tongue and a slightly thicker liquid feel. Drinkable, just not as smooth or mature as other DIPAs. LooseCannon (936), Norfolk, Virginia, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 23, 2007 12oz bottle. Pours cloudy amber in color with full foamy white head. Aroma malty and citrus hops. Taste of hops and lite malt with bitter after taste. cheapdark (2029), Monacatootha, Pennsylvania, USA
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Sep 22, 2007 On tap at the Vintage Estates, one of my favorite beer tasting arenas, thanks Nuts. Ubiquitous pale yellow american lager color and appearance. Yellowish white creamy head. Floral citrus aroma but not quite pine needles. Bitter oppressive chewing on grapefruit rind taste. Mouth coating bitter oppressive palate. Barely any carbonation. What can I say, one of my least fave styles. Bitter lingering medicinal finish that hangs for what seems forever.
