| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 15, 2007 Thanks to KrausenJockey for this brew. In a 12oz bottle. Pours out dark copper, almost a light brown with a thin white head that fades. Aroma is intense, pine hops with some grapefruit and floral aromas. Awesome mouthfeel with pine, citrus hops, floral hops and a slight sweet backbone. Bitterness carries throughout with slight alcohol on a dry finish. Very solid beer. holdenn (1441), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 11, 2007 Sampled thanks to drewbeerme. Carmel-red colored with a thin off white head. Nose is very malty and grapefruity, abundant and enjoyable. Carmel and hops make up the flavor as well. As andrew said very juicy hops, which I enjoyed with grapefruit and pine, but something seemed sort of off about it. Alcohol, a strange bitterness. Not bad, but for me, it doesn’t quite live up to its score. Schroppfy (1813), Ohio, USA

I like the bitterness in the flavor here; strongly herbal, with only a little sweetness to my taste. Intensely pineappley nose. Wonderful deep bronze color too. All around a fantastic Double IPA. argo0 (6897), Washington DC, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Mar 9, 2007 (12oz bottle, thanks kmweaver) Cloudy amber body with small off-white head. Aroma is invitingly hoppy -- moderately sweet, grapefruit, pine, some orange, pine, light herbal. Taste is medium sweet, intensely bitter -- grapefruit, orange, some pine, earthy/woody. Resinous full body, tongue smacking the roof of my mouth -- exactly what you want from a IIPA. bgburdman9 (823), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 7, 2007 It seems like a pattern at these tastings to always thank stoutlover for hooking someone up. Poured a light brown with a small white head. Aroma was of a little grapefruit and some more hoppiness. Flavor was hoppy and citrusy with a tad of pine comiing through along with some bitterness. This had a great hoppy flavor. drewbeerme (2274), Chicago, Illinois, USA
