| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 30, 2009 600th rating! Thanks for sharing, bro! Pours a bright golden color with a lot of particulate and a medium white head which leaves plenty of lacing. Aroma is resinous hops, apricot, some peach. Taste is much the same. Very smooth mouthfeel and a tolerable bitterness. I’d like to compare it to Alpha King to see the differences. Juelze (923), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA

Aroma is bright and fruity with bright citrus and light malt backbone. Taste is rich citrus and earthy hops with a dusty hop profile and mild caramel malt backbone.

Aroma - Initial citrus, grapefruit scent, followed quickly with grassy hebal hops.
Flavor - I taste the simcoe hops right away, they have this earthy moss/bark taste. Also alot of citrus and grapefruit taste.
Palate - light/medium bodied, texture is somewhat sticky. Carbonation is average and finish is astingent and lasts awhile!!
Overall - Great tasting IPA, I like that pungent hops on the tongue and lingering aftertaste. FFF knows how to make an IPA!!!! pineypower (1109), Pine Barrens, New Jersey, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 15, 2009 Thanks to JDSkinns for this bottle. Pours out a slightly cloudy light orange color with a thin white head. Aroma is of pine and grapefruit hops and some fruitiness. Taste is complex and full bodied for only the 5.5% ABV. Flavors of grapefruit and other citric hop flavors mix with some tropical fruit notes and a slightly dry finish. Another well done brew from 3F. dmac (1507), Toms River, New Jersey, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Dec 13, 2009 22 oz bottle thanks to Pineypower for sharing. Poured a hazed orange body with an average sized bubbly white head. Aroma starts of fruity with lots of apricot, mango, citrus rind, earth and dirty grains. The flavor has a good amount of earth and dirty citrus rind along with strong grain notes. Full bodied with a chewy mouthfeel and average carbonation. Really nice stuff and is far more full bodied and complex in aroma and flavor then the 5.5% would lead one to think. blutt59 (2186), Dallas, Texas, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 10, 2009 bottle, pulpy orange brown pour with lots of foam, aroma of crystal sugar and grapefruit, has a nice citrus and malty flavor like Dread but more refined due to the alcohol, nice beer OzarkElmo (136), Poplar Bluff, Missouri, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 10, 2009 From 22 0z bottle to tulip. Pours a deep, murky orange-amber with moderate off-white head. Aroma of light malt (caramel/bread) with much heavier hop presence - pine,peach,orange,honey. Moderate lacing lingering through finish. A very bitter beer through long finish - also a bit salty and sour. Oily resin throghout - very good but can’t help it if I’d rather have their Alpha King.
