The aroma was tangy, sweet, fruity and hoppy. The flavor was tangy, sweet and fairly full of fruity hops. The finish was the same and long. The mouthfeel was fairly thick. The alcohol was well hidden. Tasty and surprisingly easy drinking. Good. baggio (199), norrtälje, Sweden

Apperance: Fizzy yellow/orange with a lovely white head.
Aroma: Orange, Fruit (peach), Honey, Sweet malts.
Flavor: Citric notes, Caramel, Honey, Pine, Lemon peel, Spices.
Palate: Starts out quite sweet but then hops kicks in after a little while balancing this whole thing to perfection. Medium carbonation.
This is the best beer i’ve tried from Roque as of yet. The smell is a little bit better than the actual taste but it’s a close draw. If it weren’t for the insane price of this i’d drink it more often. Beautiful. arminjewell (229), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 21, 2009 Poured copper/amber with a lasting white head, huge hop aroma with citrus and piney notes. Tasted of thick hops of citrus at the beginning and finished a little too sweet, with some alcohol taste. Overall an excellent DIPA that needs just a bit of tweaking.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 21, 2009 Tap at PIB. Pours hazy golden with a small white head and light lacing. Aroma is full of citrus hops with some light grassiness and a caramel malt backdrop. Flavor is mostly grapefruit and orange, the cascade is very prominent. Solid malt backing, but a little more hoppy than balanced. Decent IIPA, but I certainly would never shell out for the insanely overpriced ceramic bottles.
