| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 15, 2008 Glowing orange amber with a fleeting head. Fairly mild but nice floral and spicy hop aroma. Smooth medium body. Nicely balanced flavors of caramel malt with bittersweet floral and citrusy hops. A nice PNW style Imperial IPA here. RunDWP (203), San Jose, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 13, 2008 22 oz bottle from BevMo! Really liked this. Pours a copper color with a thick, persistant, light orange head. Faint hoppy aroma. Complex, full flavor with carmel, grapefruit, and hoppy bitterness at the finish. The strong flavors balance well with the alcohol, and has a slightly creamy mouthfeel. Less bitterness as it warms up. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

Mode: Bottle
Source: Liquid Solutions
Appearance: cloudy burnt orange, fine dirthy white head, streaks of drippy lace,
Aroma: sweet crystal and pine aroma,
Flavor: sweet malt flavor, lots of crystal sweetness up front, big bitterness kicks in mid way through and takes over, long bitter finish,
Overall: too disjoint between the sweet crystal and the big bitterness, needs more middle hop flavor to tie it together,

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | May 10, 2008 I think every beer I have had for the past couple of weeks has been from a trade. I love you traders. A very sweet malty aroma with a little citrus in there. Pours a cloudy orange. Flavors of sweetness and hops but a muted sort of hop aroma. Mostly malt and sweetness up front and then a finish of a bitter hop finish with some citrus/grapefruit as well. Decent double but look for a lot more hops and a little less sweetness in my favorite doubles. bu11zeye (5442), Frisco, Texas, USA

Flavors of carmel, grapefruit rind, light earthiness and light pine with a smooth dry lingering bitter finish. Overalll a bland dissapointment of a beer. Oakes (8080), gone rambling, Vietnam

Poured a nice hazy orange copper with medium beige head with ok retention. Aroma was malty and hoppy citris like grapefruit. Flavor was much the same, nice hop flavor, a nice hop strength with nice bitter. Has a full body with medium carbonation. Very good beer.
