| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Nov 3, 2006 Bottles thanks to ambergirl and captaincougar. Poured a hazy, fiery medium orange with a moderate cap of whitish head... left some intricate lacing. The nose was rich, with caramel and grapefruit meat, spicy rye, sweet, sweet candy, and pine. Flavor was most excellent... toffee, caramel, and some alcohol at the core with lots of rye, and pine bitterness pushing through the finish. Delectably-smooth on the palate with sharp and effective pine and citrus bitterness enhanced by alcohol at all the right places. Left this lips sticky, the stomach warm, and the body satisfied. Great beer! TheBeerCollector (548), Woodstock, Georgia, USA
| 4.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Nov 1, 2006 Another great beer from one of my favorite brewers. This is Rye Pale Ale on steroids. The 8.5% doesn’t hurt either. puzzl (2621), New York, New York, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 31, 2006 Bottle from bu11zeye. Aroma is very caramelly, a touch of hops, and very one dimensional. No rye noticed at all. Flavor is similar, pretty bland and one dimensional, no rye to be found. I’m quite dissappointed with this. asteele8 (270), Mukilteo, Washington, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 28, 2006 Bottle. Thanks to unclemattie! Pours a hazy orange color with a white head on top. Aroma is citrusy, pine, hops, rye malt, and sweet caramel. Flavor is sweet, fruity, full of hops and some grapefruit up front finishing off with the rye malt. Definitely a nice tasting beer! Quite easy on the palate, slightly syrupy but nothing near overboard. Wow, I love Terrapin! pineypower (1096), Pine Barrens, New Jersey, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 23, 2006 I’ve had this beer many times and from a few different traders, beercellar2 and goldtwins come to mind, thanks guys. Finally rating it. Pours out a nice hazy hue of copper like a good ipa should. Citrus hops on the aroma with a trace amount of rye. Nice mouthfeel with a complex flavor. The rye adds a nice element to the beer the hop flavors and the rye malts are balanced very nicely, Solid beer Svesse (2650), Hässelby, Sweden
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 21, 2006 (Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 6 Oct) Amber colour with small off-white head. Fruity and sweet nose with notes of raisins, grapefruit and pine needles. Fruity, very sweet, taste with notes of pine needles, resin, grapefruit, raisins and prunes. Full body, rather short finish. Great taste, but definitely on the sweet side. jeffc666 (1891), Fairfax, Virginia, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 11, 2006 Many thanks to Goldtwins for the trade. Hazy orange body topped by a dense lasting off-white head. Lace is excellent. The aroma is more malty than with a typical IIPA, still loads of hops though. Flavor is bitter and sweet. Not a lot of hoppy juciness, more malts. Full bodied, almost chewy. Bitter from front to back. Needs more aromatics and hop juciness. Decent though. oh6gdx (8839), Vasa, Finland
