| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 6, 2009 bomber from grape and gourmet poured into a snifter. pours a beautiful hazy orange with hints of copper and a half inch, foamy white head. aroma is huge and really opens up a few minutes after the pour. scents of big juicy, floral hops, apricot, grapefruit, and sour berries come through. flavor is hop dominant at the outset with tastes of orange, lemon zest, and vanilla that is balanced with a nutty malt backbone and good lasting bitterness. mouthfeel is chewy and slightly thick. surprised this is classified as an American strong, it definitely belongs in the IIPA realm. overall, an excellent beer. slimchill (779), Austin, Texas, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jan 6, 2009 Bottle. Fruity nose, some dark fruits but mostly strawberry, cherry, and faint citrus. Cloudy orange with a brown tint. Well-balanced opening and middle with an off finish, sort of a rising sharp cardboard flavor. Possibly stale hops or oxidation. Hurts the flavor profile but doesn’t ruin it. Thick palate with low carbonation. Kevin (1918), Colorado, USA

Richly malty with a nice fruity hop character-- citrus and melon-- and a solid bitter resionus finish. Big and chewy. Very good. blklab2007 (962), Connecticut, USA
