A bit thin but makes a great for a when youre having more than one, warm day libation. A little sour taste at first, not sweet or caramel that others detect. Great hop finish. A lot like Lake Placid Frostbite though thinner. probstk (1027), Nepean, Ontario, Canada

Palate: Medium body, and carbonation, light astringency.
Flav.: Caramel and chewy sweet malts then orange-grapefruit hops; fairly dry with decent bitterness; some malt and nuttiness on finish.
Bizarre label, balanced brew. TomDecapolis (3150), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 24, 2007 Pours a translucent ruby amber with a medium off white bubbly/creamy off white head that left some slight lacing. Aroma of fruity/citrus hops, lots of toasted and caramel malts Flavor of caramel, hop flavor with a mix of citrus and pine. On the thin side, dry but a nice balance of malts and bitterness. Not overly bitter and more malty that a majory of the american IPA’s. CaptainCougar (5407), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 20, 2007 Bottle thanks to El Jefe, best before May: Pours a transparent dark copper with a frothy, nicely-lacing off-white head. Aroma explodes with fresh grapefruity hops and sweet caramely malt. Body starts slightly sweet and toasty caramely malty with a nice balance of fresh hops and a crisp, flavorful bittersweet grapefruity finish. A nice IPA, although it could be a little thicker. jason (1621), Easton, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 20, 2007 Bottle. Thanks to TomDecapolis. Deep orange body with a nice size head. Citrusy aroma - grassy. Flavor is sweetened with hops, citrus, and a mild bitterness to it. A little syrupy but decently balanced. Finishes decent. nolankowal (850), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 13, 2007 Bottle. Reddish-orange pour with an oiff-white head. Orange zest, caramel malt and earthy hops made up the aroma. Light malts and bitter-citrus hops came out with the hops creeping out a bit more in the finish. Light body...malty throughout...semi-sweet with a earthy/bitter finish. Not bad. VeloVampire (489), Parkdale, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 6, 2007 355 ml bottle - I love monsters, so I was sure I was going to love this beer, which is named after a monster and is MONSTROUSLY hopped. Oh.....my...... Pours clear red/amber with a nice off-white head. Aroma.....wow! HUGE Cascades, fresh fruit, citrus, melon, and a sour note, too - but not like sour beer - more like a sour candy. Flavour is a bit less intense/more standard American IPA, but still good. Mainly hops, some malt - could use more balance, and a bit more body. Very easy drinking. Start is somewhat grassy and there is a very mild bitter finish. This beer’s worth it for the aroma alone.
