May 7, 2009 Pours a sexeh golden-orange color with tons of carbonation dancing around inside the glass.
Smells of Pine trees, hops, orange peels, and utter satisfaction.
Taste is great, very hop forward, but not over-the-top. The body is just perfect to get the hops on your taste buds and then washes them away.

May 2, 2009 Pours a clear copper color with no head. Aroma is citrus hops and a nice earthiness. Taste is caramel and earthy hops rather than citrus. Full-bodied and smooth. Very drinkable and enjoyable.

May 1, 2009 12 oz bottle purchased at Corral Liquors, Granite City, Il.
Pours golden amber with a medium beige head.
Rich, strong hop flavor with a slight alcohol burn.
Pretty good, but for a ’Maximus’ I thought there would be more character.

Apr 29, 2009 Most of the time I have this it is just a little over the top. Not sure if a clean palate would help or hurt it. A lot of hops, pine and citrus and a big malt presence with all the alcohol. Maybe it is just resinous for me and too sticky. Pretty good overall.

Apr 23, 2009 Pours hazy golden amber with a thin cream colored head. Aroma is of nice citrusy slightly piny hops. Flavor is big bittersweet citrusy hops with a big lasting finish and a little bit of malt to balance it out. Very good.

Apr 23, 2009 approx 0.65 litres bottle, according to my google translation of ancient measuring system used on bottle ;-).
lovely deep orange with a smooth thick yellow/light orange head.
pleasantly mild hoppy aroma, somewhere between pine/grape and yellow fruits. some malts and some salt can also be detected.
flavor is very malty, very hoppy, quite dry (comes almost as an acid note), salt licorice. both malt and hops are powerfull. the balance is okay. quite sweet brew. i like it a lot. good DIPA, one of the sweeter ones. i’ve tasted.

Apr 20, 2009 Bottle. Pours amber with a nice off-white one-finger head and decent retention. Aroma is really piney with sweet caramel malt also noticeable. Flavor is very sweet malt up front and citrusy hop bitterness. Think I had an old bottle because hops had faded a little bit. Nice medium palate with hop oils and a dry finish. Above average for the style.
