3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
(22oz bottle, courtesy of Exiled) Pours a clear golden body with a medium white head. Aroma of grass, caramel, and herbs. Flavor of herbs, some citrus, light pine, grass, earth, and caramel with a dry, bitter finish.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pours a light amber with some foamy off-white head. Aroma is citrusy with maybe a bit of noble hops. Flavor packs a quick fruity bitter punch and then fades to a more stale-seeming tartness that is somewhat off-putting. The initial flavor is good but is quickly washed away and replaced with something that is far less appealing.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Mostly clear orange pour with some carbonation bubbles. Soapy white head. Bubblegum, citrus, and spice on the nose. Taste is citrus hops with a touch of earth. Digging this.
1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 5/20
Virtually no aroma; as an experiment, I pinched my nose for a sip and noticed no difference. Flavor is dominated by the bitterness that remains long after swallowing. The strange texture leaves the roof of my mouth feeling like I just had a swig of Coke, probably a result of the acidity. Overall, even for those who like their beer very bitter (and I do!), this beer is likely to disappoint due to the complete lack of balance.

Pours a dark gold honey in color. Thin soapy head. Fruity banana aroma with some yeast notes. Clean bitter hops flavor. Some citrus with a touch of pine. Overall, nice to have sampled. I would consider buying again.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
Decent looking double IPA. But,honestly, it doesn’t impress. Pretty bland by double IPA standards. There are far better beers out there.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Looks good tastes like poo. Not really but this IPA isn’t good. Pours dark orange with sticky white head. Taste is apricot bitter and hoppy. Not smooth and somewhat a choker Strong hints of apricot

2 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
12oz bottle. Very disappointing for a Double IPA, closer to an IPA. Hop aroma is the immediate turn-off, smelled like a wet sock. Clarity was lacking and the head only lasted a couple of seconds. Grassy hop flavor. I judged the beer by the label and was extremely disappointed.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
12oz bottle. Pours a hazy golden orange with a medium creamy white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is sweet sugary malts and tropical fruits with a little caramel.
The flavor is sweet sugary malts and some fruit with a big watery middle and a decent resiny /charred hop bitterness in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied and watery.
Overall, a subdued DIPA - too sweet and watery for me with not a lot of hop profile.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: APR 28, 2012 22 oz. bottle, pours a cloudy orange amber with a small off-white head. Aroma is quite tropical fruity, with citrus hops, lots of caramel syrup, and oranges. Flavour of orange peel, grapefuit, tropical fruits, syrupy notes and finally finishing on a slightly bitter hop note. A little bit cloying in sweetness but it’s alright overall. Decent.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Pours a golden orange with nice off white head. Aroma is super malt forward with caramel and just a slight floral hop scent. Taste is floral hops, heavy caramel syrup. Although unbalanced and heavy on the malts, not completely undrinkable.
