| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 24, 2009 Enjoyed a bomber just recently and this is quite an enjoyable IPA. the bitterness is just enough to serve its purpose but by far not too dominating. Its just right and the hops explosion is wonderful as well. MatSciGuy (630), Rosemount, Minnesota, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 23, 2009 [Bottle] shared by timbeer. Pours a cloudy caramelly gold with a soapy off white head. Aroma is nice with lots of citrus and tropical fruits - mango, orange, grapefruit, and some caramelly malt backbone. Flavor is a little less intense than I was expecting, especially after drinking the High Tide just before this. Very well balanced, a nice bitterness, and a lot of malt on the backbone. Well balanced bitterness on the finish. sayravai (3729), Helsinki, Finland
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jan 22, 2009 (Bottled) Hazy copper with a smallish, frothy and lacy head. Pleasantly aromatic-hoppy, pine-exotic-fruity, sweetish ice-cream nose. Lots and lots of exotic fruit, with piney hints and a solid, malty base. Long, mouthdrying and bitter finish. Medium body with soft carbonation. An extremely nice and balanced (almost double-) IPA. 689926001034 CaryTheDude (1113), Longmont, Colorado, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 20, 2009 Crushed with Honkeybra. Some definite hops and a huge malt backbone. A little too sweet, but still definitely superior. ryanknock (150), San Francisco, California, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Jan 19, 2009 Grass, pine and citrus come into balance in this lighter bodied IPA. Toast and biscuit notes come through, but the fresh, resiny hop notes domninate. The finish is pretty bitter, but not distracting. DSG (1501), Tel Aviv, Israel

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 17, 2009 Bottle thanks to Jimmy S. Pale gold and filtered. Fluffy white head. Nose is floral, fruity with a mild hop presence. Hop flavors start slowly then the bitterness and hops explode during the finish. Alcohol is evident but nicely warming and does not overwhelm the beer. Fluffy, foamy mouth. Overall very drinkable and a nice balanced IPA.
