Pours a copper color with a small white head. The aroma is caramel and pine. The taste is hoppy, but not particularly biter, filling in the sides are mangoes, apricots and persimmons. The mouthfeel is full and malty. The finish is long with lingering pine. Overall: A very drinkable subtle IPA, but not the monster that the name suggests. padrefan98 (788), (San Diego) Santee, California, USA

Aroma is sweet malt caramel and some grapefruit which comes through initally in the taste. Some etoh creeps into the finish. Decent beer. GodOfThunder (864), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 29, 2008 Pours out a dark mahogany color with a thick white head with a ton of stickyness. The smell is of a ton of hops with a lot of light malts right there with it. The hops come through mostly in the taste, but the malts linger in your mouth a little longer. Reminds me of a bizzaro Lagunitas Lucky 13, where I got the malts first, then the hops. Overall, a really good hoppy amber. otismulligan (34), Yardley, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 28, 2008 Bottle, poured a nice frothy head. good amber color. Medium body thin texture doesn’t overpower the senses. hoppy with a subtle sweetness. No, it isn’t "monstrously hoppy" as the bottle claims, but it’s a great tasting hoppy red ale nonetheless. jeff789 (384), Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 15, 2008 This is not nearly hoppy enough for the name and label. If you take that away from it, i may have given it a higher rating. It does have a good deal of sweet malt backing up the generic hop flavor... I wouldnt go out of my way to drink this again with so many other quality options available...
