| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Nov 17, 2009 Unbelievably hoppy. Not that I was expecting a pale lager but this still exceeded the amount of hops I was expecting. Sticky, completely out of balance in an amazing way. Not that malty / minimally double IPA in the malt make up, then again it is 9.5%, I guess it is just that you can’t taste the malt under all the hops. Like hop juice, wait that is a different beer. If you want hops more than beer this is perfect for you. jkwalking05 (1483), Arlington, Texas, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 28, 2009 Bomber from stfun.... Poured into a snifter, nice dark hazy orange color. Small head that faded quickly. Nice piney and citrus aroma. Taste is fruity hops with a mild amount of bitterness... Well balanced. Easy to drink. I was expecting more of a hop bomb... Texture was average, could use a little more carbonation. Overall, a nice DIPA to sip on and watch the phillies win game 1 in the WS. Thanks josh! tokyogoat (507), San Diego, California, USA

Nose is bright and clean with pine, grapefruit, and hints of vanilla.
Taste starts with a big harsh hop bitterness, lots of pine, nice earthy flavors, hints of vanilla, a little bit of grapefruit. Great beer, but i think it raped my palate. JoeTheYounger (243), California, USA
