| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 21, 2008 Bottle. Hazy orange colour with a slim and long lasting white head. Lot of hops in the aroma with some citrus and a sweet edge. Hops dominate the taste but it is also nicely complex - soft, bitter, creamy, dry, some caramel. Good mouthfeel. Very good IPA.

Aroma is lemon and pine hops with caramel and nutty malts. Flavor is a clean bitter and the palate is nice and crisp. Solid beer, definitely the best one sampled at Carlsbad. fidel (1021), Livermore, California, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 27, 2009 22 oz. bottle from The Red House here in Renton, Washington. Nice selection at The Red House by the way. Nice light orange haze appearance, with a rather thin head. Head is kind of spotty, but overall leaves a nice crust on top to accentuate the appearance. Nice crispy citrus/orange juice hop aroma coming off of this. Almost as pungent and as good as the Two Hearted. Ah... this beer smells pretty damn good. Sweet malts take a backseat to the nice pungent citrus hop flavor. This beer has a nice aroma. Wow, that citrus hop aroma is in your face and explodes at first. This IPA is damn good and it is relatively smooth. Nice bittering hop that keeps my tastebuds alive! A solid f’in IPA that I have really enjoyed. MPA (515), Nørrebro(formerly Aalborg), Denmark
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 25, 2009 Hazy amber/golden with off white head. Sweet aroma of raisin, apricot and a little alcohol. Sweet flavour wit a soft palate wraps up ripe fruit, raisin and a balanced bitterenss. Nice one. MrChopin (706), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 22, 2009 Bottle thanks to Bitbucket! Bubbling tan-amber with a large, frothy white head. Nose has light berry, grass, and soap, but its almost pure hop. Similar flavor in heavy grapefruit and citrus. Moderate and chewy body but steering clear of salty landmines or becoming sugary and sticky. Yes it is singularly focused, but if there is only one way that an IPA should go, it is this. tpd975 (257), Riverview, Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 20, 2009 A: Nice golden orange color with a big puffy head. The head dies down but is constantly fed by tiny bubbles. The head that does hang around leaves behind some lovely lacing.
S: Nice floral piney character. There is some sugary sweetness underlying but pine is dominant.
T: The floral aroma comes thru in the taste. There is some pine as well and it finishes with a citrus bite. There is an underlying malty sweetness in this one to balance it all out. A pretty good IPA.
M: Medium bodied and smooth drinking. GranvilleTim (531), Granville, Illinois, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 16, 2009 Dark amber pour with a white head. Nice hoppy aroma and taste. The hops are tasty, but not dominating or overtaking. Really nice lacing on the glass.
