The aroma is great; loads of citrus and pine hops with a strong caramel component. The flavor is similar; lots of caramel malts, a aggressive hop presence as well both citrus flavors and lots of bitterness, Balanced very well. I like this beer a lot.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 17, 2009 Sampled from 12-oz aluminum can during Dark Lord Day ’09 at table 2. Pours a semi-clear golden-orange colored brew with a thick off-white head that slowly dissipates. Aroma of grapefruit, pineapple, tangerine, a touch of caramel malt, and some light alcohol. Taste is medium bodied, plenty of citrus bitterness that overpowers the caramel malt flavors. Finish is citrus bitter that lingers well after the finish. A west-coast IPA throughout. argo0 (6891), Washington DC, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 9, 2009 Can! Heavy grass and PNW hop aroma with some caramel and light resin. Clear amber-orange with a tiny-bubbled frothy beige head. Taste is bittersweet, muddled and dulled (I)IPA, ala an aged Dreadnaught, which really isn’t a bad thing. Full body, a touch of alcohol showing through. Enjoyable beer, don’t want another. radagast83 (1289), Fairfax, Virginia, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 5, 2009 Clear deep amber appearance with a large, off white head and good lacing. Spicy, citrusy hop aroma with some floral notes buried beneath all the hoppiness. Taste is doninated by the citrus hops but partners well with the earthy malts to add good balance. Medium bodied, well carbonated mouthfeel with a lingering finish.
