| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 29, 2007 Draught at Flying Saucer - Nashville. Pours copper with a spare off-white head, spare lacing, completely diminishing. Aroma is average malt (cookie, caramel), heavy hop (flowers, perfume), average yeast (sweat) with notes of pineapple. Medium body, sticky texture, flat carbonation, and a bitter finish. Moderate sweetness, acidity, and bitterness; caramel malt and perfume hop flavor. glkaiser (1182), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 28, 2007 Clear dark amber with smal head. Definitely one of the more balanced IIPAs I’ve had. I get more hops in the flavor than the aroma, but a nice thick sweetness dominates both the taste and aroma for the most part. Big hop bitterness at the end though. Finishes pretty warm. Pretty good, but not my preferred style of IIPA. realale420 (399), west covina, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 26, 2007 Bottle thanks to Shigadeyo. Poured a dark amber color with a small off white head. Aroma was sweet caramel with a load of mixed hops, some alcohol, rye and a bit of toastiness. The flavor had more of a caramel taste than hoppy taste. The finish was hoppy with a candy sweetness followed by a alcohol warmth. jason (1627), Easton, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 26, 2007 Bottle. Thanks to moejuck and bgburdman9 for sending me this. Pours a deep orange body with nice head. Aroma is extremely hoppy with a nice candy essence. sweet flavor of a nice toned down citrus and with a malty backbone. Smooth, actually it is one of the smoothest IIPA’s I’ve ever had. Alcohol undetected. Cybercat (826), Georgia, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Apr 23, 2007 I had this "over" Crystal hops, so that affected the taste, but I feel that I can give a fair judgment to this beer. Its beautiful dark amber-brown is very tempting, and the aroma is hoppy but not "piney." Taste is delightfully hoppy with minimal bitterness. Very pleasant to drink, this is a beer one should sip and savor. mreusch (747), Olathe, Kansas, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 22, 2007 Bottle, with many thanks to jimbowood for this one, pours a clear dark amber with a minimal head and lacing. Gentle aroma of pine, caramel, and citrusy fruits. Flavor is also pretty mild, but pleasant, with a slight hops bite that is quickly overtaken by some mellowing malts. This is a very quaffable beer that’s lighter on the palate, hides the alcohol very well, and is quite tasty, but not a hop bomb like you’d expect for this style. TheCEO (100), USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 19, 2007 I’ve been drinking this for a week now...here and there. It’s very good...but there’s something I can’t put my finger on that keeps me from thinking about it or REALLY desiring it....P.S.~ I had great fun on the forums for the past 2 days...and so did several others. For those of you that didn’t appreciate me.."What the fuck’s wrong with you?" LOL!! aubreya (676), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Apr 18, 2007 The color was golden/orange and caramel. The head was off-white, fizzy, and creamy. The aroma was sweet, candy, peach, tart, and waxy. The flavor was bitter, alcohol, dry, and fruit. The palate had a hot bite. It was medium-bodied and well carbonated. The finish was warm.
