| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 21, 2009 Bomber from Lukas KC. Pours a clear, coppery gold with a big off-white head that lasts and lasts, clinging to the glass for dear life on the way down.
Pine needles bathed in grapefruit juice in the nose and on the tongue. High in acid and sticky from resin, this is a California IPA on steroids. A touch high on the carbonation and acid overpowers the alcohol, but otherwise fantastic. Best $4 bomber you’ll ever have! mcox90 (624), Wilton, USA

IBU Man, IBU Man, hopping the beers for West Coast fans;
What’s it like? It’s not important. IBU Man.
Is it a Stone or is it a Rogue?
Is Lagunitas now in vogue?
Or, are they the same in different cans?
Nobody knows, IBU Man.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 18, 2009 This is avery nice double, jwell within range and a little high in carbonation from the bottle. Golden color, not sickeningly overhopped, it got better as the carbonation dwindled. flatmatt (222), Northville, Michigan, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 18, 2009 22 oz bottle for my 200th rating. Pours clear golden orange with a large off-white head. Fresh grapefruit, spice, and pine hop aromas with a touch of sweetness. Flavors are strong piney hops, very resinous, with citrus and floral hop flavors and a nice bitterness. Slight sweetness. Balance moves toward citrus as it warms. Quite a tasty IIPA. MI2CA (1266), Noblesville, Indiana, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 17, 2009 22oz - Aroma is pungent fresh citrus hops. Add is some fresh chewy hops and you’ve got this beer. Flavor is loaded with fleshy orange, grapefruit, and other citrus hops. Add is just enough caramel malt to keep it honest. Palate is tangy and creamy. Very tart finish. Extremely hoppy yet balanced and very tasty. Get some Stoopid. Collint (453), Sylva, North Carolina, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 17, 2009 Bottle, pours a clear copper beer with a decent light tan head. Aroma is super hoppy with notes of grapefruit and grass. The taste is a clean bitter bite of grapefruit and hops. This is a solid beer, if you like a lot of hops this is a very good one.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 17, 2009 bottle 22oz. - Poured very clear light copper color and small white head.
Aroma - oranges, grapefruit and earthy hops.
Flavor - strong mango/grapefruit taste along with alcohol.
Palate - medium bodied brew with peppery carbonation feel. Finish is kinda harsh and has alot of alcohol burn going down.
Overall - This is a decent DIPA. Needs more malt to balance out huge amount of hops!! Do not drink cold, alot better as it warms up a bit!!
