| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 3, 2009 On tap at Fat Heads pours dark golden color with off white head. Aroma is pine, citrus, and more pine. Voluptuous mouthfeel. Flavor follows the nose and finishes semi-dry. The caramel backbone holds up well to the hop character. The alcohol is hidden well. Nice beer. JaBier (1294), Capital City, Ohio, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 29, 2009 On tap at the Brewkeeper. No specific name, but they said it’s the brand new IIPA from these guys and this is the only IIPA I see listed in their catalog. Opaque orange pour with a thin off-white head. Citrus hop aroma (both orange and grapefruit) with a nice sweet malt balance. Orange hop flavor up front with the grapefruit following closely. A touch of malt jumps out before the lasting bitter finish. I need to get up to the brewpub and check these guys out. Cliff (366), Avon Lake, Ohio, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 21, 2009 On tap, poured an orangish color with a thin white head. Cloudy, with some great grapefruit, orange, peach aromas. Vey hoppy flavor, tastes like lots of Simcoe and Amarillo, with some Columbus dankness. Smooth flavor, pretty dry with a lasting finish. Nice beer. miketd (686), Cleveland, Ohio, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 20, 2009 Copper pour with a small head. Aroma of pine, citrus and sweet fruits. Flavor is piney and abrasive with sweet malt in the middle. Has a little candy like finish that is not appealing. Decent body and drinkable but nothing great. michael-pollack (2759), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 18, 2009 Draught at Pittsburgh Bar: Aroma of hops, hop oil, citrus, grapefruit, and caramel malts. Poured orange/amber in color with a tiny, off-white head around the edges only. Slightly hazy. Very slightly sparkling. Flavor is heavily bitter and lightly sweet. Tastes of hops, grapefruit, pine, hop oil, light caramel malt, and light bubblegum. Medium body. Oily, then dry texture. Average carbonation. Bitter, hops, pine, and light caramel finish is lightly dry. 8.7%ABV is totally hidden. A very nice, bitter, IIPA.
