3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Way too hoppy for me as I am not a hop head by any means. It poured a small sized ivory head with fine-small bubbles that was mostly lasting. The body was clear with some carbonation observed and a golden hue. The nose was very hoppy as was the flavor which is of course very typical for an IPA. It left a lingering bitter aftertaste with a tingly and smooth mouthfeel and it was medium bodied. This IPA left a good lacing.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: AUG 26, 2007 I love a good IPA but found this one to be a little lacking. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a light bronze color with a small creamy white head. The aroma is sweet and fruity with a strong fruity hop presence. The mouthfeel is crisp and sparkling. The flavor is sharp with spicy and fruity hops. The beer is a little lacking in malt balance. Nice but there are so many out there that are better.

12 oz. bottle from Mt. Adams Bar & Grill in Cincinnati. Pours gold/amber with small white head. Moderate carbonation. Aroma of hops and citrus, flavor of the same, primarily hops, with a little sugar and spice to boot. Definitely an above average IPA but not nearly in the class of Avery’s Maharaja.

These hops don’t mess around. They grab you and don’t let go until well after the last drop. Drink carefully and appreciate.

Nose is a full orange/pine, some nice malt too, hazy orange/apricot, pours a small but firm off-wite head. Flavour is a big time orange/pine with loads of malt.Medium bodied, very well balanced, fittingly bitter. Fine example!
