3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
22oz. bomber: This one pours a clear, orange hued amber color. There was a small off-white that doesn’t linger long but does leave some lacing. Hint of sweetness to the nose. Caramel, fruits on top, but there is a large amount of underlying hops. Some spices also. Good taste. Definitely a good hop bite to it. Mainly citrus and pine. A bit of sweetness peeking through in the finish. Lacking a bit of smoothness, however. It is good, but a touch on the harsh side with taste. Worth trying.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
from notes: Middle of the road East Coast IPA. When poured in a glass looks similar to DFH 120. Cloudy. There is a lot going on in this beer. Alcohol is well hidden. People have written that there is a huge malt backbone, but I myself found only a medium amount of malts while being balanced slightly to the hoppy side. Tastes similar to Stone Ruination, but less hoppy and heavier on the alcohol. Average.

3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
[Rated 08/20/2009] Bottle. Pours amber with medium-sized, white head. Aroma is of hops and citrus, but it’s not very developped. Flavor starts out sweet and then turns very hoppy -- more like earthy-hoppy rather than citrus-hoppy. But it’s very pleasant and smooth. But the best part is the very long finish that it leaves, it stays for minutes. Overall, a nice IPA. Doesn’t stand out, but is very pleasant and drinkable and deserves the rating.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Sweet and fruity on the nose, with herbal elements -- a little spearmint. Pours a dark gold with a cream-colored head and lace. Huge hoppy punch on the front of the mouth, but some sweetness on the middle; finishes clean and herbal. There’s that mint thing again. Quite good.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a cloudy amber with a small lacing head. The aroma has a lot of caramel and malt and a little biscuit. The flavor starts malty sweet and is quickly taken over by the bitter hops. Quite nice dry finish, very refreshing. Biting and crisp.
2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Sample. Very bitter and kind of dark for an IPA. I mostly got hop bitterness and not much of the flavor. Not my favorite.
