| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 30, 2009 Fresh Bottle I picked up at Capone’s. Pours an opaque light brown. Little hops in the nose for a DIPA but the first sip is really balanced with malt. Some fruit flavors especially toward the end. The hop profile is not overpowering but still prominant. The overall flavor does not linger too long with a nice clean finish.. Bull Frog is quickly becoming one of my favorite breweries. Plus it is only a 3 hour drive for me.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 27, 2009 Fresh 750ml bottle, maybe 2 weeks old. Pours a cloudy, dark orange-amber hue with a thick, frothy, lasting head of off-white foam. Solid, organic looking splotches of lacing coat the glass well. The aroma is majorly hoppy, with juicy orange and grapefruit notes being accompanied by some dank, cannabis-esque stickiness. A good amount of candyish toffee malt lies beneath, lending balance after the initial hop assault subsides. Flavors are much the same, with a bit of unfortunate soapiness in the yeast profile. Citrus hops are featured prominently, countered well by bready, toffee laden malts. Medium bodied, with a lively, micro-fine carbonation, the finish comes across quite dry and yeasty. This one smells great, but drops off a bit due to the soapiness. Overall, a very solid IIPA. cmillward (463), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 25, 2009 750mL, shared kindly by Beerlando. Slightly hazy golden with a sudsy off-whit head, lots of lacing. Fresh, green citrus and pine hop nose, hints of mango, some sweet pale malts showing through the nose. Citrus, some sweet malts, a little soapiness, bitter grapefruit finish. Drying bitter finish, a touch of sweetness in the middle, the alcohol comes through a little out the nose. Medium carbonation. redlight (1621), Winter Park, Florida, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jul 23, 2009 Special thanks to Beerlando. Super strong hop aroma. Smooth and citrusy. A little soapy. Flavor is strong with a little bit of yeast and more soap. Good strong IPA, but the soap is a slight turnoff. Pretty good. blipp (1891), Newark, New Jersey, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jul 17, 2009 750 ml bottle from Bullfrog Pub. The nose is earthy, piney hops, not much malt, maybe some orange peel. The appearance is relatively true to style, orange color, generous white head, only slightly hazy, which was surprising. The flavor is caramel malt, piney, resiny hops. The finish is strongly bittered by piney hops, and long lasting. The mouthfeel is medium/thick, and slightly syrupy. Decent, not quite up to the hype.
