orange color with a small off-white head. Specks of lacing. The
aroma is malty but with still an impressive amount of spicy hop
notes. Taste is spicy and citrus hops with huge toffeish malt
notes. Full bodied. YogiBeera (2437), Hamburg, Germany

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 14, 2006 Clear amber that starts off with a bit of chill haze. The sizeable head has enough lasting power to count. The aroma is stingingly hoppy. The piney/sprucey hops have a bit of orange zest in the background and if you sniff too hard, the eyes start to water. The flavor doesn’t disappoint. With a moderate cracker malt backed up by plenty of hop flavor and bitterness. badlizard (2417), Berkeley, California, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 31, 2007 350 ml bottle from archer liquors. Hazy golden amber with a fizzy white head. Sweet malty grapefruit and pine aroma. Thick sticky palate. Sweet caramel, candy sugar, banana, and a slight pervasive bitterness through out. Boutip (2408), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Jan 22, 2007 Bottle courtesy of Monger: Poured a cloudy yellowish/copper color ale with a nice foamy pure white head with good retention and lacing. Aroma of sweet floral malt with a nice mix of hops with some citrus notes but nothing overwhelming. Taste is a complex mix between some sweet malt with a nice mix between floral and citrusy hops which provide medium bitterness at the end. Body is above average with some medium carbonation and no alcohol could be detected. eaglefan538 (2405), Wilmington, Delaware, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 12, 2006 Bottled 110305. Pours a somewhat pale amber color with some haze. Head was decent lacing somewhat lacking for the style, which normally has more to display. The aroma was really really strong grapefruits, no malts coming through. The flavor was of strong grapefruits, bitter grapefruit rinds, some floral aspects before it warmed, and more pine as it warmed. Malts and alcohol depth were lacking, I was in want of some more dIPA-ness after this one. Mouthfeel was moderate. Great flavor, more depth, please.
