| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 22, 2008 Bottle: Orange pour with good clarity and a thin off-white head. Extremely piny aroma. Basically smells like their IPA. Orange citrus and fresh piny hops. Pretty light mouthfeel. Piny flavor- oily resins with a blood orange character. Hardly any malt detectable, with a long bitter finish. Just another "hop juice" IPA, with no subtleties. Quenches a hop craving. puzzl (2661), New York, New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 26, 2008 Bottle shared by EDA at Joe’s. Lots of Christmasy hops in the aroma, light caramel malt. Powerful, out of balance bitter winter hops in the flavor. Very bitter and intense overall. This is one of those IPAs that to me sits precariously between IPA and IIPA... a bad place to be if you ask me. The hops are too much for a normal IPA, but would be fine for a IIPA but would need more malt to back them up. badlizard (2409), Berkeley, California, USA

Medium bodied and warming with a touch of dryness. blutt59 (2186), Dallas, Texas, USA
