Orange with white head. Aroma of orange and fruit. Light caramel flavor and a grapefruit bitterness. Alcohol is well hidden. Maria (6167), Thisted, Denmark
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 1, 2008 Warm amber-golden with huge, nice and creamy head. The aroma is nicely hopped with notes of pine and fruit. The flavour has a smooth and pleasant caramel foundation with a light sweetness and it ends bitter, but not in an extreme way. The notes are fruity hops, citrus, mostly oranges, mango, a touch of papaya and pine. It’s quite charming. fluids (364), USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | May 30, 2008 Head goes quickly. Nose is a pungent aroma ketchup and yellow onions (yup that’s the best way I can describe it.) Beautiful orange tinge on color. Exceptionally dry on the palate. Flavor is to me onions infused with grapefruit and oranges with slight malt to temper the intense dryness of the hops. Very unique and utterly over the top. Dry grapefruit chewing rind finish. carboloader (319), Houston, Texas, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | May 24, 2008 Pours hazy orange with a tall frothy head. Aroma is grapefruit, pine, spruce -- serious hop bouquet. Serious bitter finish that sort of hits you in the face. Alcohol is evident. Reminds me of Stone and Lagunitas. I love this style. Maybe I should move to Southern California. BMan1113VR (2814), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 24, 2008 Updated: Dec 9, 2008Pours a clear, sparkling orange covered by a large, tight, white head. Very good lacing, and nice retention. Aroma is tangerine, sweetness, some green apple, and grapefruit. Taste is bitter and less sweet than the nose would have you believe. Water mouthfeel, with lively carbonation.
re-rate. Same score. Pours with a huge, tight, creamy off-white head and a hazy golden body. Great lacing and retention. Aroma of orange and strong pine and eucalyptuses and some light fruits (melon). Taste is pine and eucalyptuses and light fruits and melon. Syrupy mouthfeel, light bubbles.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 22, 2008 Bomber from Sparky... Good orange color, good head. Citrus and pine in the aroma. I havent had a good double IPA in a while and this hit the spot. Nice and bitter, citrus pine, classic west coast characteristic. Some fruity flavors hidden in there as well. Medium texture, easy to drink. Overall a well crafted DIPA! Thanks E for the brew! SamGamgee (1429), Santa Cruz (La Selva), California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 21, 2008 22oz bottle. Clear honey color with a medium creamy white head. The aroma is fruity, with grapefruit, mango, peach, some spice, and sweet honey. The flavor has a simple, but ample malt body with lots of hop flavor that is heavy again on the more tropical and sweeter grapefruit side. The IBUs are there, but really smooth. Nice and rounded profile overall, though both the flavor and aroma fall slightly short for me. rustychiles (1018), Mesa, Arizona, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | May 15, 2008 Pours a hazy golden orange color with a nice soapy head. Aroma of hops, citrus, pine and malt. Flavor is hops, pine, a little malt, and it all comes together well until the finish. There’s something herbal and unexpected in the finish with this one that makes it unique from a lot of other similar iipas.
