| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jun 3, 2009 Pours a clear light orange with a good, thick, off-white head. Aroma is a perfect hop bomb. Little to no malts - this one is citrusy, resiny hops all the way through. A bit of honey and brown sugar counter in the flavor, and wow is this delicious. Full-bodied, big mouthfeel, with just a ton of hops. Wonderfully refreshing while still very flavorful. Fantastic - one of my new favorite IPAs. carruthm (1125), Seattle, Washington, USA

Lightly sweet flavor with lots of citrus peel bitterness. Great balance. secretmartian (1), Tigard, Oregon, USA does not count | 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | May 26, 2009 The gold medal winner of the 2008 Great American Beer Festival.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 25, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear, bright amber, medium off-white head. Grapefruit, sweet malt and citrus dominate the aroma. Hops, citrus and a touch of caramel comes across strong in the flavor. Bitter and dry finish. SorenE (112), , New Zealand
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 25, 2009 yeah alright but not great. has the standard US citrus hops going on and a substantial bitterness but the palate is too sweet for me. mrhoppy (209), Santa Clara, California, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | May 19, 2009 This is like the other style IPA that I don’t lean towards. Beautiful complex floral aroma. Creamy marshmallow palate. Not to bitter. Where’s the malt? The caramel? Delicious but lacking. If they tweaked this in a different way.... Epic!
