| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 18, 2008 12 oz bottle. Piney, resin hops aroma and a persistant foamy head. Anise notes in the muddled, slightly sour hops flavor. Some sweetness in there, too. Fair amount of malt for an IPA. It’s a good beer, but I’ve never been a big Sierra Nevada fan and for better or for worse, this beers taste says "Sierra Nevada’" all over it. Bella68 (38), Alabama, USA

Head goes away fairly quickly. Aroma and taste are hops and grapefruit. I instatly categorized this beer as "Dogfish Head 50 Minute IPA"
pretty good brew, but not up to the standard of Bigfoot barley-wine or regular SN pale ale LearninBeer (201), Sterling Heights, Michigan, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 17, 2008 The aroma is hops, citrus-orange, and a little pine. The head is a frothy off-white, excellent lacing and a small mostly lasting head. The color is a copper/orange and was crystal clear until the last pour and is cloudy now. The initial flavor is a nice bitter with a little citrus-lemon/orange and finishes with a the hop taste in your mouth. The body is medium, creamy and the carbonation soft. rader58 (168), Leawood, Kansas, USA
