3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
A clear copper color and a medium sized rocky head that quickly dissapated. A strong hop aroma with some citrus and hints of pine and caramel. The flavor is hopped, but not overly, with piney notes, grass and citrus acidity. Good bitterness with a dry finish. Solid.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bright pink-orange. Yellowish, thick head, disappearing. Citrussy nose, noble hops. Very hoppy, lemony taste. Outspoken hopbitter. Slightly harsh finish going into resinous. Well bodied. Good carbonation, but CO2 can’t win from the hops. Aftertaste are hops, resinous again. Very IPA. Mind you, it could grow on me.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Deep golden yellow with a great, lasting white head and a fresh, pine spicey nose. Sharp hop bitterness like candied grapefruit rind, over top of a smooth caramel sweetness. Very good beer.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Great aroma of hops and citrus. Good deep copper thick color with a nice head. Nice balance of malt at first, then the hops hit you over the head with a strong finish.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Pours with a hazy amber color. good head retention. As you would expect the flavor of this beer was totaly dominated by the hops. A good beer although I would like a little more balance. If you are a Hop Head this beer is for you.
4.9 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
One of my favorites, do not pass up this beer. _TONS_ of hops, get some baby!!! Nice golden color, great bitter-hops taste. mmmmm...
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Slightly hazy, dark copper color. Hoppy aroma backed up with a little sweetness. Flavor is the same. Fairly thick and satisfying mouthfeel. Bitterness is somewhat subdued despite 70+ ibus.
3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Big strong tastes in this one - maximum sticky hop resins backed up with huge malty sweetness gave this some real fruity characterisitcs. The palate was extremely creamy and thick. Hops were listed at 77 IBU, but, maybe because of the malt balance, it actually seemed tamer than their IPA. Refreshing.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a hazy, caramel color with a huge white head that leaves strange, beautiful rocky formations as it dissipates. The aroma is quite pleasant. Creamy, malty caramel exudes sweet, perfumey hop scents. The flavor is dominated by strong citrus and pine notes. The malt exists but isn't quite enough to balance it all out. The hop flavor is nice. Strong, but not overbearing. A damn good IPA, but a little better balance would make this incredible.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Golden color, lingering head left some lacing on the glass. Fresh hop aroma with just a touch of malt in the background. Flavor matches the aroma with the balance on the bitter side. Bitter dry finish. I could drink a lot of this beer.
