| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 25, 2009 The aroma is very citrusy (grapefruit) but not overbearing.The look is solid (orange-gold, not too transparent, not too hazy). A lot of bite on the palate, a little dry. I think I may not love it but I keep guzzling it down. The citrus flavor might be a little overbearing for some (this is not a particularly well balanced beer) but I like my beer over the top so I highly recommend it to drinkers who like a lot of hops.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 24, 2009 22oz bottle. Pours a bright golden color with an off white frothy head. Aroma of grapefruit, orangepeel, pine, and wood. Up front you get some caramel and a little biscuit, but then the big hops take over. Mid palate through you get a lot of pine with some citrus bitterness as well. Some alcohol and warmth in the finish. Moderate carbonation and a clean crisp finish.

| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Nov 22, 2009 Nice white frothy head... Strong lacing... Great silky texture in the mouth and a TON of Simcoe Hops wakes up the palate.
The Attack is strong but not too aggressive. The finish is pleasant and inviting.
I paired it with a Seafood Risotto tonight and it worked perfectly.
I liked this beer a lot. fata2683 (862), Panama City, Florida, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 16, 2009 Served cold from tap at Blind Tiger, NYC. Golden orange color with a good off-white head. Very sticky lacing. Citrus and floral hops in the aroma. Flavor is a mixture of sweet malts and very bitter hops. Very interesting mouthfeel. Oily. Active carbonation. Wild beer. Very cool. hamrech (32), Carbondale, Illinois, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 16, 2009 Upon cracking I got a huge whiff of citrus sweetness. Citrus is present in the flavor but the sweet part is dampened by insane hops. Aftertaste is bitter and almost smoky. Mouth is slick and heavy, excellent. Intriguing brew, very solid all around.

Nice, bitter finish but not too hoppy. Nice balance. Nice palate. Taste stays bitter long after sampling. Great beer. I could drink this all night :)
