| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 1, 2008 Pours a nice copper-amber color with a medium off-white head and moderate lacing. As expected, lots of hops in the nose. Nice complex flavor with some citrus and more malt than I would have expected from the style. Medium bodied with a dry finish. I not usually a big IPA fan, but I really enjoyed this beer. mgumby10 (1850), Jupiter, Florida, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 30, 2008 Pours a gorgeouse clear caramel amber color, with a medium, frothy off white head. Smells of musty over the top hops and mild citrus. Hints of spice are evident as well. The flavor is actually much bigger in its malt character, but really too much bitterness and not enough balance. The hops were overly abundant. Reallyjust too much, and not very crisp. Just a bitter mess in my opinion. Kind of disappointed. AllAboutStout (605), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 30, 2008 Pours a dark copper in color. Slight hoppy smell in the nose. This has a huge malt backbone to support the hops. Quite possibly the maltiest IIPA that I’ve had. Very bready and bittering in the flavor. Decent, but I prefer more Citrusy and juicy flavors.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 29, 2008 22oz, very well balanced, beautiful color. Very good beer. Drank it slightly warm to get the full effect, highly recommend. SQNfan (591), Wheaton, Illinois, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 25, 2008 Light copper in color with a creamy head of fine bubbles. The nose was subdued though the palate did show more. A balanced midpalate that shows almost as much malt as hops until the bitter finish. Overall quite nice and balanced and did not come off as an "Imperial". Juancho (225), Clearwater Beach, Georgia, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 19, 2008 ON Tap @ the Brass in Portland. Truly great stuff, very nicely balanced and with a thick feel. A great summer beer. hayduke (1641), Eureka, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 17, 2008 From a 22 oz bottle this poured a copper to amber with a moderate white head and light lacing. Nose of citrus and floral hop. Mouthfeel is fizzy and the flavor is caramel malts and citrus hops. Alcohol burn kind of present in the finish. elnadeau (786), Laguna Niguel, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 16, 2008 Bottle. Herbal, pine & citrus hops hit your nose, moderate sweet malt aromas. Flavors are earthy and citrus with bread/bisquit malt backup. Medium body with a fairly clean mouthfeel, dry bitter finish. A very well done IIPA, not distinctive but enjoyable.
