Nose is pine, grapefruit, and light pineapple notes with some caramel and musk deeper down. Beautiful bright red with a thin head that leaves trails below and lacing above. Leads with a strong bitterness that lasts throughout the palate but never becomes overbearing. Lots of pine with more subdued citrus character. oreogobbler (217), Austin, Texas, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 5, 2008 Bold hop aroma but not overwhelming. Very woodsy and decent.
Pours a beautiful amber color, delicately carbonated head. Very pretty beer.
Flavor is strong with hop presence. Sharp piney and a well balanced bitter/buttery finish.
Palate is a bit sharp and bitter but easily drinkable and balanced. darn1207 (669), Tallahassee, Florida, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 2, 2008 Snifter at Deschutes in Portland. Red-amber with no head. Cinnamon and nutmeg aromas. Perhaps some ginger as well. Fresh hops, oranges. Flavor is dominated by fresh, bitter hops and pine. A little bit of orange and spice. Medium bodied, very creamy texture, but also very astringent. Delicious. Goes well with buffalo wings. rthbass (27), Vancouver, Washington, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 31, 2008 On tap at Deschutes in Portland. Pours dark amber with a little cloudiness. Very pretty. Smallish head with good lacing. Basically a double Inversion IPA, which is awesome. VERY strong, super sweet aroma! Almost smells like a barleywine. Hops are killing it as you would expect but I think the malt puts up a pretty good fight at 8%. The IBU bite is just a little strong and out of sync with the overall picture. Well balanced other than that. Delicious! Looking forward to having this again! beerinmarch (2829), Washington, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 29, 2008 On tap at the Portland pub. Pours darker amber with a small white head. Very floral citrus hop nose, green and sharp bitterness. Big hop bomb, caramel malts try to lay a base, but its a hop show, who’d a thunk. The hops put forth a nice floral bouquet, grapefruit and resiny kick. Turned out to be a really nice IIPA, pulling a ton of floral character into a glass.
