| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 26, 2008 22oz bottle-A nice ruby body with a tight off white head and an aroma of hops, malt, .Taste is of hops, malt, rye, caramel, and a dry aftertaste. This definitely has more of a malt base than a hop base. Not your normal IIPA. Still very drinkable but for you hopheads stay away. This full bodied brew has lots of flavor and is worth trying. jthg (66), Austin, Texas, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 26, 2008 (3 beers in) Sweet malt and citrusy hops aroma. Very bitter on the palate, sweet syrupy caramel falvors mixed with a distinct roasty, almost burnt aftertaste on the back of the tongue. Seems to focus more on the malt character than the hops; was personally hoping for more upfront hops. Also didn’t get any rye flavor out of it which was surprising. Somewhat of a disappointment...the burnt aftertaste was unexpected.
Overall, an interesting brew that I will not buy again. msante79 (814), Orland Hills, Illinois, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 24, 2008 Bomber. Pours a semi clear orangish amber with an off-white head. Aroma is hops, malt, rye, and some citrus. Flavor is citrusy hops, malt, rye and some spices. Pretty chewy for a IIPA. Little different than your standard double. Would by again.

Red body wtih white to tan head...Bittersweet is a perfect name for this beer. Thick chewiness, over the top, but not too ambitious.Very drinkable . markwise (1175), 15 Minutes from Kuhnhenn in, Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 18, 2008 From a bottle at the Great Orlando Beer Festival. Overall this was a pretty good IPA. It had the typical citrus, pine, and malty notes. It poured a deep copper color and it had a nice balanced bitterness to it. It did not drag its nails down my tonue on the finish. Definitely a noteworthy beer.
