3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20Nice beer for my 100th rating. Draught. Dark golden-orange body, with an average white head that diminishes slowly, leaving a good lace. Some tropical aromas, orange being present, I think. Very nice medium to heavy bitter taste, some yeast too, I think, with a medium bitter aftertaste. Medium carbonated, oily texture, medium body. A nice IPA.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Aroma: Cedar, pine, rosemary, honey and lemon.
Appearance: Clear amber body with a large beige head. Very light carbonation. Excellent lacing.
Taste: Classic Belgian flavours of yeast, brown sugar, banana and spice. Nice hoppy bite - grapefruit and lemon. Almost sour finish.
Palate: Full body with an oily texture. Soft carbonation fizz.
Overall: This is a really interesting beer - for me, it’s a little closer to a Belgian Ale than an IPA. Is it well balanced? Not really. But there are really complex, unusual flavour combinations here which makes each sip an interesting one.

330ml bottle from Beer Hawk - Clear orange with an off-white head. Aroma is caramel and rather hoppy - peach, grapefruit and pine. Flavour is quite sweet and rather bitter. Dry and bitter finish. Very samey as other "Dog IPAs".

3.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: JUN 11, 2013 Colour: Orange Gold
Nose: Very fruity and sweet (mango, passion fruit, banana). The foam head degenerates very quickly.
Flavours: Starts out as sweet as the aroma suggets, then the hops kick in and it ends very bitter. No indication of alcoholic content, so beware.
Verdict: An almost bipolar ale, in terms of sweet and bitter interchanging. Not my cup of tea, but from a reviewer viewpoint: it is astonishing.

Purchased at the Westchester, Ohio, Krogers = This one poured a slightly hazey orange brew with a citruslike aroma and a finely bubbled tan head of foam. It’s a great tasting IPA!
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Tropical fruit and grapefruit on aroma. Bubblegum too after the beer has warmed a bit. Taste is nicely bitter but sour also. Fruity hop flavor on the background. A bit different ipa.

Holy cow this beer rocks! White head with lacing, dark orange color with hops on the nose. The taste is hop forward with with some slight banana and hoppy back end. Wonderful.

I'm just getting into the big American IPA's, heard some great talk about this one so I gave it a try. Pours nice and smooth into a goblet style glass, fairly pale amber color, modest head and a beautiful fruity/tropical aroma. The fruit stays with the taste, which is reminiscent of bubblegum and some banana, thank the Belgian yeast there. Smooth finish and not as much hoppy bite as you'd expect from a name like Raging Bitch. All in all, this is a surprisingly smooth and very complex flavored IPA, with not too much hop assault.
