| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 11, 2009 Hazy amber pour. Bitter hop resin, caramel, metallic notes, cardboard, and malt. Not a very good IIPA. Tejas (696), Dallas, Texas, USA
| 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 1/5 | 6/20 | Sep 4, 2009 94? Wow! This was gross. Hopefully, this was a bad bottle but I doubt it. Didn’t taste infected or like cardboard just tasted bad. Tasted like astringent smells. Just harsh on the palate and harsh flavors to boot. mspindler (301), Alta Loma, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 18, 2009 22 oz. bottle. Pours medium brown with a hint of red and a very tall tan head. Aroma has floral and citrus hints, but the maltiness dominates with nutty caramel, toasted bread and a touch or roastiness. Flavor is powerfully bitter but without any real subtle malt characteristics. Seems more like a barley wine to me. Palate is thick and sticky and carbonation is high.

| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Aug 17, 2009 22oz bottle. Pours a hazy, ruby-brown colored body with a finger-width, tan, foamy head that dissipates quickly and leaves a moderate lacing. Aroma is some weird metallic bittering hops and a semi sweet caramel. Strong grapefruits and a bit salty. Flavor is pretty rotten. I hope this is a bad bottle. Moldy, intense, biting bitterness that makes this utterly sour. Strong piney grapefruit, a chewy caramel, and a light coffee acidic twang. Medium bodied and overly carbonated. Overall, this tastes like a homebrew gone bad. Damn I hope I got a bad bottle, this is pretty hard to take down. satan165 (566), River Grove, Illinois, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Aug 11, 2009 aroma is strong resin and a whiff of rubbing alcohol! scary enough, it isnt really that offensive. appearance is cloudy ruby. despite the color which seems to foreshadow another malt bomb, or barley wine masquarading as an IIPA, this is a traditional balls out bitter hop assault. not alot of citrus in the flavor or nose, but that damn isopropyl note contains to make itself known during each and every sip, and unlike the first, it is starting to wear on me. a touch of late grapefruit in the flavor. this is a rude and unrefined imperial.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 31, 2009 Bomber from ’Bruisin. Pours a bold orange red with a great head. The aroma is slightly sour with hints of ammonia, grass, weed, and light pineapple. The flavor is not quite what I was expecting from a Californian IIPA. It is not so heavy on citrus or hop definition, it’s just strongly bitter throughout with a surprising coffee flavor. I’m not talking a really malty, roasty quality, just a faint hint at coffee in the finish. This is a weird IIPA, dank, and not what I was expecting.
