| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Mar 5, 2008 bomber. clear light orange pour with white head and a fair amount of lacing. citrus aroma. thin palate for a DIPA. taste of syrpy malt and apricot. has a good warmth to it. easy drinking for the 10% alcohol. imperial ipa’s are my favorite type -- so I like it. but a bit of a letdown within the style. comes off a bit weak. cykyc (28), USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 4, 2008 Considering it’s a double IPA, it has a light hops aroma. The beer has a clear, translucent body with a reddish amber hue.
Mmm, but the taste...
This might not be a good time to rate a beer, since I’ve just got off of a 5 hour road trip and have craved a good brew the whole time. But the flavor is surprising. It has a typical strong hops introduction, which makes sense for a double IPA. But, I tasted two aftertastes on my initial hit. The first was an almost iron tinge to the flavor. The other was a malty-hoppy mixture at the end. It’s a really complex taste that’s hard for me to describe. Would definitely drink again!

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 2, 2008 Bottle. A straightforward double IPA. Orange-amber body below an modest off-white head. Aroma is mostly citrus — grapefruit and orange with some resin. Behind that is light malty honey-like sweetness. The flavor starts moderately to heavily sweet, but turns moderately bitter on the back of the tongue along with a slight plasticy flavor. Alcohol also apparent in the dry finish. Medium to full body with a slightly sticky texture. imadeadguy (378), back in NJ!, New Jersey, USA
