| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 3, 2010 Nice but unremarkable double. Cloudy orange pour, thin white head. A fruity aroma. Flavor is mostly malty with a bit of grass and citrus. Not that hoppy for a double. kiefdog (1784), Tampa, Florida, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Feb 16, 2010 Pours deep orange with white head, extremely thick and opaque with good hoppy flavors but is too overpowering with the malt for a DIPA, hops are covered up a bit with a sweet finish. Good, but not great. markwise (1333), 15 Minutes from Kuhnhenn in, Florida, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 14, 2010 Thanks kiefdog for the share. Pours hazy orange with a white head. Nose is sour orange, malt, some spiciness that turns into citrus character. Flavor is citrus with malt and some hop characteristics. Bit of lingering citrus into the finish. Ok, not my favorite. willblake (2255), Belcamp, Maryland, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 12, 2010 20100212 500ml bottle from State Line. Cloudy amber with little, fleeting head. Aroma is full of autumn flowers, honey, curacao, cookie dough. At first I was put off by the aroma, thinking it just oxidized and plain, but as it warms especially I find it very pleasant though a bit mild for an IIPA. Full, sticky mouthfeel is very sweet across the middle, then a bit sticky and jammy on the finish. Lingering bitterness, pithy. Overall a pleasant beer, though not something I’m likely to pony up the big bucks to try again. GeneralGao (3155), Iowa City, Iowa, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 6, 2010 Bottle. Poured a clear dark orange color. The head was dense and off white with a yellow-orange tint. Nice lace was left behind on the glass at the end. Pleasant DIPA nose with element of caramel, vanilla, pine, and citrus liqueur. Medium bodied and sweet with moderate carbonation. The sugars were attenuated somewhat by moderate bitterness. Pine and citrus hop flavors dominated with some caramel malt. Earthy dried leaves and a hint of champagne emerged at the end. TampaBrew (1030), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 6, 2010 Pours copper. Nose is noble hops, flowers, sweet malts, veggies. Flavors are some piney hops, floral hops, sweet caramel, grassy, fresh picked hops and booze. Not bad.
