| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 18, 2010 Pours amber with a thick head. Aromas of hops, citrus, and caramel. Flavor is similar, I pick up hazelnut and grapefruit also. While nothing sticks out as holy crap amazing, this is probably the most balanced IPA I’ve tried. Nothing over the top, just good. I could use quite a few more bottles.
Rerate - Jeff Bagby edition which has more alcohol/more hops. Growler thanks to Weibull, bonused as an extra. Crazy. More everything in the aroma and flavor. Less of a malt background, and the hazelnut aspect is completely gone. This has more of a melon hoppiness than straight grapefruit citrus like the other version had. Very clean finish, not overly harsh at all for a big IPA. This is damn tasty stuff, new rating would be 9/3/8/4/16 = 4.0
