The hops taste is delicious and balanced with an awesome taste. Would buy again smith4498 (899), Miami, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jun 18, 2008 Pours clear orange with big off white head. Sweet grapefruit and orange aromas. Flavor is lots of bitter hops and slight malt sweetness. Medium body with average carbonation. Had a bitter aftertaste that was kind of weird. I was expecting more. I’ll have to revisit this one later. dchmela (1440), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 14, 2008 12oz bottle @ redlight. Thanks to Rose for the suggestion. Copper colored pour with a thin white head. Grapefruit juice, pine aroma. Very spicy hoppy grapefruit juice taste. Lots of bitterness from the good ole’ hops. So many hops that it takes a lot to get any malt in the taste. Bitter hop aftertaste, yet very drinkable. Bungalo22 (326), Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 11, 2008 This is very hoppy as you would image. A nice amber color on pour into a tulip glass from the bottle. A great head that sticks a round with some really nice lacing. Hop heavy as I said before. tastes a bit like you put a very bitter pine tree in your mouth - in a good way. I like it but not up there with the great hop monsters but better than half way.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 9, 2008 Tallahassee, Fl. - Liquor Loft - 12 oz bottle. Medium copper pour, soft white head that leaves sticky lacing. Fresh, pungent hoppy aroma with faint cat urine (in a good way), spruce and mint. Standard IPA flavor with some citrusy grapefruity notes, a bit of mint, some nuttiness. Thickish, non-stinging mouthfeel. I’m liking what I am seeing from this brewer - new to Florida. fattibobatti (246), Tallahassee, Florida, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 2, 2008 Bouteille: J’ai de la difficulté à bien me placer autour de cette bière. Elle a un beau corps, assez moyen en substance cela dit, orangé et un impérieux collet. Au nez, je trouve qu’elle est plutôt timide en début de dégustation pour se laisser tranquillement connaître à mi-parcours, où le poivre, le tabac et le Cascade (le seul houblon que j’arrive à discerner au nez, dans cette tempête) sont dominants. En bouche, la bière est fidèle au genre, même si contrairement à d’autres, je ne trouve pas que le goût d’alcool soit particulièrement notifiable. De même, je ne peux pas dire être particulièrement impressionné par le niveau d’amertume que la présence des différents houblons viendraient apporter. Cela dit, j’apprécie les touches herbacées, citronnées et poivrées (naturellement) et j’arrive même à y reconnaître du Simcoe, du Golding et du Saaz, et quelques touches de thé infusé - en espérant ne pas trop me tromper. En fin de parcours, en bouche, la bière finit par prendre des accents de beurre, d’huile. Dans l’ensemble, une bonne bière, pas transcendante, que j’aimerais bien réessayer, cette fois-ci en fût. Achetée au Half Time en mai 2008, lors du Inbiernational
