| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Sep 4, 2009 Pours a nice deep orange color with white head. Intresting aroma of spicy hops. Almost a note of orange and pine. Nice maltiness and hop presence. Clean but hoppy finish. Really nice. greig (171), Hamilton, New Zealand
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 31, 2009 Interesting IIPA. Some weird flavour compnents I’ve not had in this style before, but it all works well enough. Very fruity and resinous, with some seriously hot alcohol which hits the nose on exhalation. Sounds worse than it is though - pleasant, warming, flavourful. I’d certainly have another. sunevdj (1771), Copenhagen OE, Denmark
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Aug 26, 2009 Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a tiny off-white head. Sweet and extremely fruity. Malty hints but mostly fruity aromas of plums, pineapple and hints of plant sap. Exotic fruits. Full bodied. Medium to soft carbonation. Fruity finish. Tmoney99 (4718), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 25, 2009 Draft sample at IBGF Summer09.
Poured dark amber color with an average frothy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate citrus hop aroma. Medium body with a slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy bitter flavor with a medium bitter finish of moderate duration.
My expectations where met.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 23, 2009 Bottle from Bottlewerks. Hazy amber pour...finger wide white head. Some hops in the nose but not a ton...not that it’s bad, but not as much hop forward as I expected. Flavor is ok...nothing to write home about. Just ok overall...not bad mind you just not great....glad it didn’t cost too much. demolayfire (18), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Aug 16, 2009 Butterscotch Butterscotch Butterscotch!! These guys have some serious kinks to work out. Potentially great IIPA, but lately along with every other Ninkasi pint I’ve has been seriously flawed.
