| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 8, 2008 Pours a rich glowing orange brown with a fantastic creamy fine off-white froth on top. Rich malty, honey, fresh hop, grapefruit, pineapple and piney aroma. Earthy flavor, piney with lesser notes of grapefruit, honey, citrus and grass. A little bit salty/resiny. Light waxy mouthful with medium fine carbonation bubbles. So easy drinking for an IIPA. Reminds me a bit of Goose Island Imperial in drinkability/malt profile, but without the Belgian yeast. Yum.. the definition of double IPA! CaryTheDude (1113), Longmont, Colorado, USA

A wispy off white head with great lacing rounded off the appearance. Bursting with floral hops and citrus. A great bitter finish with good malt balance. restless7 (104), Lenexa, Kansas, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Jun 2, 2008 BOTTLE: 8277. Dark clear golden color with off white thick head. Aroma is soooo inviting with a nice hoppiness that isn’t overwhelming. Flavor is strong and bitter but excellent finish that lasts and lasts. Strong alcohol content does not come through and leaves an extremely pleasant and refreshing beer. IPAaLLtHEwAY (136), La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA

This beer punches the tongue with bitterness and it hangs on for a long dry finish. A fantastic lively double IPA chindong (10), Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 31, 2008 A well balanced DIPA, but I wanted it to be more bitter than it was. The honey really does balance the beer well. Shag (1923), Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA
