| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Apr 7, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Pours nice copper-gold color with a decent white head. The nose is citrus and floral. The taste is very rounded and almost sweet. This is contradictory to many of the other Double IPA’s I have had. This beer has a very light body for the gravity of this beer. While Im not sure that this is true to style. This is by far the best double IPA I have had. morrdt (608), Jacksonville, Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 6, 2008 12 oz. bottle from Total Wine in Jacksonville, FL. Wow, what can I say about this one. Pours a nice copper color with a light head. Aroma is all hops with a touch of floral notes and hops. Taste is sharp with hops and a bite on the finish. A great double IPA.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 5, 2008 Bottle: Clear bronze color, light white head and nice lacing. The nose is fairly hoppy, some pine and grapefruit along with a light spicy maltiness. I don’t know if it’s the citrus lotion I’m wearing, but the smell is super light on this. The flavor is chewy, some toffee and buttery malt notes with a balanced hop flavor. Woody, a bit sweet. Eh. JPDIPSO (4894), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 4, 2008 Clear golden color with a modest light beige head. Sweet aromas, with grapefruit, pale malt, light caramel, dough and some pine bark when swirled in the glass. Odd that it smelled much better prior to the swirl. Heavy, somewhat rough flavors. Caramel, grapefruit, pine bark, some floral hops as well float about. Not much that works together. Finish has a sweet grapefruit pith component. Linger is long and not all that pleasant. Some wood and pine sap with a long generic bitterness that sets in the back of the throat and begs to be scrapped out. Far too rough in areas. smith4498 (872), Miami, Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 28, 2008 Pours clear orange color with big off white head. Aroma of sweet grapefriut. Flavor starts sweet and and finishes with mildly bitter hops. Decent IIPA. Medium body with moderate carbonation an a creamy mouthfeel. For the price I would definately buy this again.

Aroma is sweet and pineappley with faded resinous grapefruit. Taste is crackery and sweet with a bit of grapefruit and grainy malt astringence. $7.50/22oz alexsdad06 (1080), Ohio, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 26, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear amber/copper color with a small lasting creamy off white head. The aroma is crisp citrus (grapefruit and orange), light pine, and moderately sweet. The flavor opens with moderate sweetness and big grapefruit character before finishing with nice hoppy bitterness. There is enough malt to stand up to the hops. Medium/full bodied. The 10% is well hidden. I like this one alot. Maybe I should change my style preference to IIPA? bhensonb (4242), Woodland, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 25, 2008 Bomber. Aromas of grapefruit citrus and likely a bit of pine. Amber color with a nice white head. Medium to full body with smooth carbonation. Kind of sweet, a touch woody or funky, and some interesting mix of fruit and hop flavors. Finish is pretty dry, and the hop pickles the top of the mouth. A pretty good, perhaps great, DIPA. Drinks well.
