| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 11, 2008 Bottle at Orsted Olbarog. Cloudy brown, lasting beige. Hoppy, bit of acidity. It’s ok, good hop on finish. Hot hop not a lot of good malts. not a great DIPA. Not enough malts to underpin the hops. dkachur (2361), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Oct 8, 2008 11.5 oz. bottle from Sam’s Quik Shop. Very hazy brownish red color with a 2-finger head, decent retention and nice lacing. Big nutty, toffee malt aroma with some citrus hops. Citrus hops in the taste are very bitter with a nutty maltiness in the background. Medium body. barleyPops (1079), Quad-Cities, Illinois, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 5, 2008 picked up a bottle at Brawley’s in Charlotte, NC. poured a dark amber with a two finger khaki head, fading quickly and leaving decent lacing as I work my way down the glass. aroma of sweet caramel with some citrus, piney hops. flavors are a mix of toasted malts with more citrusy hops. finish is more sweet than hoppy bitterness. decent IPA, but no way is it worth the $4.99/11.5 oz. bottle!

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 5, 2008 Poured from an 11.5oz bottle and served in a shaker. This IPA poured a mostly clear amber with a thick, frothy, beige head. Excellent retention and heavy lacing. The aroma of the beer was made up of oranges, grapefruit rind, lightly toasted caramel, and a hint of earthy yeast. The flavor was mildly bitter and full of bright citrus notes. Fairly sweet. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with light carbonation. Maybe a little light on the hops for my liking, but still a decent IPA. MagooinPA (99), Warminster, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 5, 2008 Very disappointing. 12oz pour to a chill hazed amber color with a head that went bye-bye real fast.Much buildup to this beer and it is not nearly as good as many IPA’s whether Brittish ot American. No hint of anything that sets this apart. It is ok but not worth the hype. What was I expecting? I’m not sure to be honest, but it was a dud. KieferUGA (461), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 4, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Amber, dark orange-ish color. Medium sized, fluffy, off white head. Lacing present. Nice floral hoppy aroma with some hints of oatmeal. Flavor is sweet malt and hoppy resins. Bitter finish. yngwie (4970), Kristiansand, Norway
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 2, 2008 Bottle. Immediately after opening the bottle, the lovely hoppy aromas enters the nose and promise something good. It pours a hazy orange body under an inch of off-white head leaving nice lacings. Lovely piney, resiny, slightly citrusy, floral and malty-sweet nose. Touch of beef-stock too. The flavor is much the same, on the hoppy side, with malts and sugars trying to balance it. That is doesn’t succeed is all fine, it’s a lovely IPA, with the bitterness coming nicely in the finish. Full-bodied and effervescent. (081002) Vac (2389), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 1, 2008 Thanks for this one Sean (illinismitty). Pours with a slightly cloudy, brownish-orange body topped by a think foamy head with a little lacing. It’s slihgtly bitter with grapefruity hop notes and a light, sweet maltiness. medium bodied and smooth yet warming.
