| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Aug 11, 2009 Growler acquired via a trade with tennisjoel (HUGE thanks for this one). Pours dark orange with a creamy off-white head. Big citrusy and floral hop aromas. Bitter grapefruit flavor. This is an excellent IPA with big hop flavor not usually found in a single IPA, especially one with a low ABV. I wish this were easier to obtain; it is excellent. blklab2007 (972), Connecticut, USA
