| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 8, 2007 Bottle… Mostly clear orange ale with a mid-sized, fizzy, white head. Good retention. The aroma shows a generous helping of caramel malt beaten down by a potpourri of intensely bitter, West Coast hops. Grapefruit, pine and cat piss hops unite to form a tropical, mango-type nose. Bone-dry, attenuated flavor and mouthfeel with a moderate dose of alcohol and heavy bitterness. Medium to full-bodied with lively carbonation. Leaves my palate devoid of moisture. Cheers to growler for sharing! CaptainCougar (5549), Rockville, Maryland, USA

Aroma of fresh citrusy green hops and toasty caramel malt. Body starts with a good malty sweetness and fresh grapefruity hoppy balance toward a crisp finish. A pretty good IPA.
On tap at Carlsbad: Sweet floral hoppy aroma. Typical of the style and a good representative of it. Smooth and enjoyable, but nothing too special. Bov (5514), Bienne, Switzerland

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 3, 2009 Very huge, dense, creamy head over copper-orange beer, clear but UFO-laden; end of bottle solid yeast. C-hops on cakebottom; citrus notes with bitter orange peel. Bitter, dry, mainly resiny hopflavours, still fruity, the orange peel now as from the pressed oils within, suggesting tarry, viscous liquids. Hopoils dominating to the exclusion of other things. Medium bodied at least, oily and dry. Very classical W.C.- IPA, but this is not really Tomme’s top strength. ThomasE (5178), Copenhagen, Denmark
