| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Feb 18, 2009 The aroma is very nice with pine, citrus, flowers, mango, peach, and caramel. The appearance is hazy amber with an average head for the style. The flavor is like the aroma with a very bitter finish. The palate is typical for the style. Overall this is a decent beer but overrated. Palidor19 (1762), Brandon, Florida, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Feb 18, 2009 perhaps I am missing something, but I do not find this outstanding by any means. the aroma gives a lacking aroma with a hint of mineral water at the end. taste is harsh in the hop front with none of the real outstanding IIPA flavor. palate is full and the there is a slight amount of fruit but over ll this is an overblown.

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Feb 15, 2009 I am not actually leaving a comment, this is me opting out of that. However there are a minimum number of characters i must type so... You should all worship heavy metal! jamvin23 (162), chicago, Illinois, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Feb 15, 2009 Bomber. Golden orange appearance with an almost white head. Aroma: Piney, overwhelming citrus/grapefruit. Taste is sweet with citrus, hops, hops and more hops all the way through! Alcohol is very well masked. SHANER4 (371), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Feb 15, 2009 22 oz. bomber - Poured clear copper color with medium head.
Aroma - WOW!!..MANGO madness with a little peach and pineapple.
Flavor - pungent mango and grapefruit taste with slight hint of alcohol.
Palate - medium to heavy mouthfeel with average carbonation. Finish is throat numbing and smokey which I liked!
Overall - Has better mouthfeel than Hopslam with great finish! I still prefer Ruination due to the fact that its more balanced. The second best IIPA in my book!!...so far Sonicdescent (376), Donora, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Feb 14, 2009 This is a sneaky mofo, the alcohol content is very well masked. Piney and resiny in smell and taste with a nice coppery color and thick head. Very good stuff and another winner from FFF.. poolboy (66), Lafayette, Indiana, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 19/20 | Feb 12, 2009 Copper color with healthy white head. Loaded with citrus and hops. Some malt with a bready taste. High alcohol but doesn’t taste like it. Medium carbonation with a great IPA aftertaste. This is a great one. malrubius (977), Valley Stream, New York, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Feb 11, 2009 22 ounce bottle in pint glass. Clear copper with lasting head and lace. Pungent sweet lemony lemonade and mild biscuit aroma. Toasted caramel biscuit with grapefruit and melon and brisk resiny hop-flavored lingering bitter finish. Medium-full body and medium carbo. Absolutely delicious and very hoppy with tons of flavors and none of them off. Well-hidden alcohol, virtually no taste or smell. At 9.5% this could be dangerous. Awesome. Deserves the hype.
