Taste was a well balanced DIPA. Lots of hops but not over done, followed by a nice malt backbone. Good smooth texture. Overall a good DIPA! Thanks E!

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 10, 2008 Bottle: Deep orange pour with white bubbly head. Sweet, toasted malts and a very strong grapefruit citrus hop profile. This definitely has some bite to it. Not my favorite, but would drink again. pepsican (885), The Student Ghetto, Iowa, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 9, 2008 big thanks to hellbilly for this guy. Pours a deep amber with a small, soapy, off whtie head. Aroma is mild hops and some sweet malt. Flavor is plenty of biscuit malt, lots of citrus and pine hops, grapefruit is dominate. Finishes pretty bitter, resinous hops shine through and the bitterness peaks at a 6 or 7. Very one sided but still great. ABUSEDGOAT (1934), California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 8, 2008 Amber color, moderate head with solid lacing and retention. Citric, grapefruit aroma, focused towards bitterness. Medium to full body, big bitterness. Not bad, I prefer different/better hop flavors though. The rest was nice though. phenol (7), USA does not count | 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 28, 2008 Pine resin nose with floral infusion. Orange to copper color, small soft head that dissipates quickly- no lace. Hop bomp, sweet malt, more hops, hop juice. Sweet hop juice- not much else. A novel hop expression- just ok.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 27, 2008 Bomber. Pours a clear amber with one finger cream head. Nose is mild floral hops, malt and pine. Palate is Caramel malt upfront with come citrus and a bitter resin bite in the finish that lingers like the grim reaper. Medium mouth feel with nice lacing. An ok DIPA, a bit run of the mill. stefanje (939), (Santee) San Diego, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 27, 2008 650 ml bottle from Bevmo. Pours a translucent copper color with a big sudsy off white head. The aroma is moderate in strength with citrus, pine and a bit of sweet spruce. The flavor is hops forward with a fair biter bite, layered well beneath the biter hops is a bit of caramel and more pine. The mouthfeel is full and malty. The finish is medium in duration and dry. Overall: This is a good IIPA, but it seemed to me to be a just a tad one dimensional, relying on the biter hops just too much. hellbilly (1515), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 7, 2008 appears that this is being brewed again... crystal clear copper color with a thin off white head. floral hops hit the nose first... followed by citrus, light pine, brown sugar, sweet grains and some kind of fruitiness that i can’t place. surprisingly dry palate.. or not too sweet? flavors of wood, evergreen-y, tangerine pith and grainy sweetness. lightly bitter dry finish with a candy like aftertaste. medium body but it leaves a phlegmy texture in the back of my throat.
