3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 reebtogi (2169) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - OCT 18, 2011
650ml bomber bottle poured an amber color with big off-white head and loads of lacing. Aroma of citrus and lightly roasted malts and a bit of alcohol. Taste is big citrus hop bitterness with malty sweetness and a hint of alcohol burn. Heavy body and mild carbonation. This is one bold flavourful DIPA that is certainly worth sampling.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 callmemickey (795) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - OCT 2, 2011
A: Light copper/amber body with a healthy white head with lots of lacing...
S: Blast of grapefruit courtesy of tons of amarillo hops... light bready malt character... could use a bit more complexity to up it into the next tier.
T: Grapefruit hops up front... sweet malts... slightly metallic... the alcohol is not hidden too well
M: Light bodied... smooth, up until a slightly metallic slightly watery finish...
O: A good smelling, decent tasting beer is hurt by the alcohol screaming through... id have another, but id prefer something else

12oz. bottle. Just finished drinking it and am pleased with the outcome. Orange amber hue with a tight white head which disappeared as it sat. Tastes like any good IPA should. Bitter, and citrusy, with a moderate mouthfeel. I would recomend this to people who like hops and are wanting to try something new.
