3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: AUG 4, 2007 12 oz Bottle-pours a clear amber color w/almost no head. This is not usually my favorite style & I only got it to say I had tried all the Heavy Seas beers, but I’m glad I did. Has a nice mild hop flavor, pleasent, not overpowering. Crisp, clean, spicy, citrus flavor. Long finish, somewhat metalic. Surprised this is rated so high, figured it wouldn’t be hoppy enough for the typical IPA drinker. Seems more like a Pale or Amber Ale to me.
Rerate- Have had this on tap several times since initial rating & it is much hoppier/fresher on tap. Really a little too hoppy for me on tap. Bottle I had must have been a little older (must not have had a date code as I didn’t note it in the rating); may have "mellowed out" some. Hop head’s will like it though. Didn’t change my rating score, just added this odservation after a visit to the brewery last weekend.

My first Heavy Seas beer. Quit delightful flavor very robust, crisp, suggests citrus. Definitely buying this one again.

Bright orange, bronze pour with thick one inch white head. Very citrusy aroma, orange and lemon and a hint bitter. Taste is noticeably less citrusy. Medium body, more malt flavor than hop but yet still light. Again more crisp hop flavor in the finish. Very easy drinking and pretty decent.

Great drinking beer. Sweet hops with a great finish. Gorgeous gold color that brings some aroma to the nose but hid some of the sweetness.

Had this beer last night for the first time. I really enjoyed the balance of the hops. A great beer with a pleasant hoppy floral finish. Will definitely enjoy this beer again.

I didn’t rate you? Weird. I wanted to look up what I thought because a friend ordered it. I know I’ve had this on brewery tours so lets rate this on my memories. Too hoppy. That is all.
4.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Pure sweetness. This is a beautiful beer, it tastes a lot like Bell’s Hopslam. Excellent hop balance.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Citrus, pineapple, and caramel malt aroma. Clear orange amber with a small off-white head. Sweet orange and caramel malt flavor. Not as hoppy as I was expecting it to be, but I like the hop/malt balance. Medium body.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pretty standard IPA. Dark orange coloring. Nice floral aroma. Tangerine taste that hits you pretty hard, but then quite a bit of malt in there for an IPA. Decent spicy bitter finish. Didn’t rock the boat too much, but a fine drinker.
2.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Bottle - pours gold with a medium head and lacing. It took 4 or 5 sips before I finally figured out that it had a tangerine taste to it, but not tangerine in a good way. More like tangerine that is about to go bad. Maybe I got an outdated bottle.....or maybe I just don’t like it. Has a medium mouthfeel and a dry finish.
