| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 12, 2009 Bottle. Pours a large, off-white, foamy head. Slightly hazy, golden body. Thick citrus and fruity hop aroma. Some clementine. More of the same in the flavor profile, but with an increased intensity. Slight bread crust to go with the orange marmalade. Well-hidden alcohol. Medium body, average carbonation, with a bitter, slightly sticky finish. Overall a tasty, straightforward, no-nonsense IPA. guerinfbfan (47), Elmwood Park, Illinois, USA

Tastes of citrus, grapefruit, and oranges, with a nice bitter kick at the end. Very good beer that hit the spot! ilherps (226), Carbondale, Illinois, USA

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Nov 12, 2009 Nice IPA. Bitter but leaves a nice dry taste in the mouth with the need for a malty sweet finish of some strong IPAs. I really love this beer. fidel (959), Livermore, California, USA

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 9, 2009 12 oz bottle - pours a slightly hazy light orange with minimal head that leaves a little bit of lacing - Citrus hops in the aroma and taste - At 7% abv the alcohol is hidden very well and this beer goes down dangerously smooth with a slight bitterness on the palate - As of 11-9-09 the commercial description here says "this beer doesn’t have Bells in front of the name by explicit request from the brewer" - well if I was the brewer I would definitely put my name in front of this beer as it is delicious and easy to drink - Mega kudos to the brewer!

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 9, 2009 Thanks to Ucusty! Pours orange-gold with a moderate white head. Aroma is lovely, with orange, grapefruit, lemon, strawberries, cotton candy, toffee and breadcrust. Smells like hop candy. Flavor is a similar, drier mix of earth, bread, brown sugar, orange, grapefruit, strawberries and pine. Finishes like citrus fruits dipped in brown sugar mixed with a toasty bitterness that is more flavorful than strong. Medium bodied, creamy, fairly high carbonation, and easy to drink. I can see why so many people are addicted to this beer. It really DOES make me wish I had more in the fridge!
