3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Murky burnt tangerine pour with a modest eggshell head. Orange peel, bitter grapefruit, and tart lemon. Moderate honey and evergreen...not bad but nothing to write home about.
4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
Cloudy copper pour. Definitely one of the better resiny DIPAs I’ve had. Malty and quite sweet. Resiny in flavor (with some pine notes), but perfectly in balance (resin seems to have a way of becoming overpowering; see, e.g., El Toro). Super enjoyable and drinkable, with a nice syrupy mouthfeel courtesy of the resin I suppose. Hop heads will be disappointed though. Hides its ABV (9.75?!?) amazingly well. Buy it. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Zesty, floral, HOPPY, a big IPA that could have never been made by just 1 brewery. Mikkeller and BrewDog have gone the mile on this one...
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
11.5oz bottle. Pours a murky burnt orange with very little off white head. Aroma of sweet malt, citrus, and pine. Taste is just like the nose. Citrus, pine, and lots of sweet malt.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
March 2012. From bottle. Pours deep amber color with a large white head. aromas of pine, citrus and resins. Good balance and a nice hoppy finish.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Pours a dark amber with a reddish tinge to it and a small head. Nose is definitely hoppy and bitter with some subtle floral elements to it. Taste is only slightly bitter, but the malts balance it out reasonably. OK.
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle from Mane Liquor. Pours a thick, dark burnt orange. Brilliant, pungent peachy hop aroma with a huge raw honey malt sweetness. The nose is huge. So is the flavour. Delivers the same raw honey sweetness (also a touch of butterscotch) with exotic fruit (tangy peach) taste. Thick body and balanced bitterness. Be right back, getting another one.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Uploading old ratings that were missing comments. Good IPA but a little forgettable. Do recall a nice malt backbone and some cattiness from the Simcoe.

33 cl bottle.
Originally rated on 20110602.
Pours copper color with a small head. Aroma of hops, exotic fruits, pine needles, grass and floral notes. Flavor of caramel, fruits, hops, hay and some goose berries. Nice.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Poured from a bottle into my teku. Very dark amber pour with an off white head that dissipates quick. Smells big on pine hops, some malty sweetness. A little perfumey. Tastes sweet like toffee, but huge hops hit you right after. The >9% abv is apparent.
