| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 18, 2009 Appearance: Pours a dark gold with a big fluffy white head. It is very cloudy with visible rising bubbles. The fluffy head never really subsided, and added to the overall appearance.
Aroma: Caramel malt and orange zest right off the bat.
Taste: Grapefruit, pine, brown sugar and lemon. Ends with a bitter spicy hop note.
Mouthfeel: Juicy and astringent. Not really heavy or thick, but not watery by any means.
Overall: For an IPA not made on the west coast, this beer has a great level of citrus aroma and flavor, and has a nice level of malt to compliment it. I look forward to brewing my first extract batch of beer, based off of this recipe. fonefan (11640), VestJylland, Denmark

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 11, 2009 12oz bottle, thanks argo0! Bright orange with an oily head that leaves some nice lace. Big citrus candy aroma: grapefruit, orange peel, and some slight mango for good measure. Pure hops, with a good supporting malt sweetness that doesn’t provide assertive character. Very citrusy flavor with lots of orange, light grapefruit, and a soft bitterness. Good balance, with a bitter, yet soft finish. Medium bodied with smooth carbonation. Very well done, though the hops are quite one-dimensional. hooves (3), Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA does not count | 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Jan 10, 2009 A favorite. Very tasty, not too thick, not too light. Love the northwoods style fish design!
