| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Jun 3, 2009 Updated: Jun 15, 2009I don’t get the high rating. It tastes like their boring IPA tripled up. Bitter upon bitter upon bitter. No complexity. Not horrible. Not memorable. Improves as it warms and fruitiness is released. dmschefke (371), Eastpointe, Michigan, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 31, 2009 Pours a nice amber orange with very thick off-white head. Aroma strong of floral hops, almost overdone, pine, strong malt, and spice. Flavor matches, but the floral hops just dominates it and I am not a fan of that. Definitely take a Hop Stoopid over this one. jbye4334 (658), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 29, 2009 (bottle from Springs Liquor Outlet in Colorado Springs). Pours a clear copper color. Small off white head which diminishes quickly. Spare lacing. Heavy hop, flower like aroma with light citrus. Oily texture. Moderate carbonation. Avg duration. Light bitterness. biznizness (934), Mooresville, North Carolina, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 19, 2009 Solid, but I def prefer the Hop Stoopid. This had a little bit of a subdued hop punch for a DIPA. The name "Maximus" might be overdoing it a bit. Overall, nice brew. aguyintx66 (78), Humble, Texas, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 17, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear copper color with a tan head. Aroma of pine and malt. Has a creamy mouth-feel. Starts a nice sweet taste, then the hops hit. Has a nice bitter pine finish walrussell (105), , Illinois, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | May 10, 2009 mild sweetness is balanced out hoppiness - smells like orange and tastes like resin - very little sour - alcohol doesn’t really come through - aftertaste is pretty much a slow fading of standard taste. Friends, I want to tell you - I like this junk. mmmbeer (744), Austin, Texas, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 8, 2009 12 oz. bottle served in tulip- poured transparent faded orange, lively carbonation of small bubbles, clump of pea size white bubbles atop the liquid surface for a head. Aroma of pine, resin, and malt. Hits the mouth with nice medium body, malt is there but seems to be washed away a little too quickly by the hopwave of this brew, holds up fine in the middle, finish has a pleasant acidic hop burn. Good stuff.
