| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 29, 2009 Firkin @ Elysian Capital Hill - cloudy light gold with trace white head; thick and sweet aromas of hoppy goodness; lots of fruit; thin texture with lingering bitterness; flavor wise doesn’t quite match the aroma; pretty damn good though MoDog (927), Griffith, Indiana, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 24, 2009 On tap at Three Floyds, served in a tulip. Mostly clear, golden orange pour with a thin head of off-white foam that produced an ample amount of heavy lace. Heavy aroma of fresh citrus, tangerines, peach, and a bit of pine. The flavor had fresh citrus, grapefruit, pine needles, and a bit of pale malt sweetness. Nice, assertive hop profile with a lingering bitterness. Medium to full-bodied. Light carbonation. This was what I was hoping for when I ordered it. A fresh, heavily hopped west coast DIPA. Nicely done. undsioux7 (566), Cologne, Minnesota, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 21, 2009 Pours very cloudy orange with a good sized white head. Aroma of mango, piney grapefruit hops. Taste is sweet thick malts up front with a big lasting bitter piney peach ending. Just a touch on the bitter side for me, but if you love a long lasting huge bitterness, you will love this one.

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 13, 2009 Tap from Carlsbad location. This was fantastic. I had not tasted a beer in a week, so that might have increased my opinion, but I do have a growler fill in my refrigerator for later....
Huge fruity aroma and flavors of mango and pineapple. Great finish with a refreshing and bitter tingle. BrotherGrendel (612), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 11, 2009 Cask@Obriens. Cloudy orange hue with sustaining white head. Big sweet malts mingle with mostly citrus hops and light fruits. Flavor is fruitastic- peach, orange, apricot that opens to thick underlying bready-caramel malts and modest bitter grass-citrus hops. Super thick with dense alcohol presence, bordering on barleywine qualities. Huge and heavy flavor and body, drinkability is on the lower end. DJMonarch (6941), Northwich, Cheshire, England

Fruit and hop aromas. Golden coloured very hoppy and fruity with a little dryness in a crisp and bitter malt finish. cprochak (445), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
