| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 16, 2007 Draft at Hot Shotz in Indy. Pours a gold/copper color with a small white head with decent lacing. Has a very interesting pineapple aroma along with floral hops and other citrus. Very smooth mouth feel. Wasn’t as hoppy as I thought it was going to be. The pineapple came through in the taste as well, and the hops took the back seat. Good beer. drewbeerme (2305), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 15, 2007 Updated: Mar 16, 200822oz fresh bottle. pours clear golden with white head. nose is exploding with grapefruits, yep thats it but it’s so fresh and clean smelling. but oh that flavor just lacks any punch and this is a watery hop mess. some awful caramel note and oh stop, this is very bad. watery, alcohol is very sweet, mess of hop flavors with no real bitterness. just undrinkable. man i bought this because i knew it was fresh and it just sucked.2.7.
on tap, re-rate from the new facility, pours a glowing orange with white head. nose has a sweet juicy piney hop resin aroma. flavor is sweet resiny hops, balanced well, just the hop notes aren’t too exciting. a solid double ipa though.3.6. b33r (363), Cleveland, Ohio, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 14, 2007 Beautiful dark orange copper color with small head and great lacing. One of the strongest hop packed beers I’ve tasted. Both aroma and flavor completely dominated by hops. Great label design too. Thaichile (599), 10aFly, New Jersey, USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 3/5 | 6/20 | Jun 11, 2007 Bottle. Pours an orangey amber with limited head. The nose was mostly malt if anything. This was pretty poor. Very funky, off-flavors that I would not be able to tell if it were a IIPA if I did not read it on the bottle. No clue what this was and it was clearly the last place finisher in the 6 bottle IIPA tasting. Thanks to Sprinkle for the bottle. krysztofar (344), belleville, Illinois, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jun 4, 2007 bomber. color is a a nice orange hue with an amber glow. pours with a nice creamy/frothy head. the nose is piney with lots of grapefruit aromas. it leaves lots of heavy rings on the glass. bright hop flavor that is well balanced but thin. some nutty malt provides the balance. easy to drink because its watery but has a strong overpowering alcohol finish. rshah16 (39), Illinois, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 3, 2007 of course the smell and taste are dominated by pine and resin hops. there is enough malt and fruit sweetness to balance some of the hops. very drinkable for something so strongly flavored. stegosaurus (1882), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 1, 2007 Bottle sampled from Capones. Pours cloudy amber with a small light tan head. Aroma of citrusy hops (go figure), caramel malts, ans slight fruit. The flavor is slightly sweet upfront, fruit, caramel, citrus, and bitter undertones through-out this brew, and a strong hop finish. Very nice.
