Fairly strong aroma of hops., which follows through on a bitter and hoppy taste. The finish is bitter but a bit harsh, and the palate is a bit on the watery side.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 23, 2009 Picked this up on the road in Texas, stuffed it in a suitcase, and not dissapointed. This has a nice malty citrusy flavor to it, but finishes smooth. The finish was a tad dissapointing in that I was hoping for the citrusy hops to carry the beer but that malty overtone seemed to dominate and didn’t pack that much flavor. Good beer. nuplastikk (1367), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 12, 2009 12oz bottle. This beer really packs a punch. Thin orange-tan color, highly translucent. Clean pine aroma. Big bitter pine taste backed by a strong a malty ABV and body. Very clean on the palate, not as sticky as many of it’s peers. Big time IPA, but the strength shines through a little too much...there are plenty of 9% beers that are less alcohol centric than this one. Complaints aside, I really like this beer, and would be stoked to try it on tap. Soonah (1000), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 11, 2009 Rich copper color and clear with a two-finger tall white head and good lacing. The aroma was sharp pine hops and some soap. The flavor was mostly bitter pine hops and only a touch of sweetness. The mouthfeel was almost oily and medium in body. Pretty average.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Dec 5, 2009 Tasted at Beer Dabbler event in St. Paul. This one had an engaging flavor, fairly sweet, multiple fruits. But then ended with a nice, bitter hop flavor. Like it quite a lot compared with a lot of things I tried that day.
