| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 2, 2008 Pours a clear amber color with thin white head. Aroma is floral and resinous hops and light citrus. Taste is floral and citrus hops with a bit of thick syrup mixed in. This brew is a bit cloying, but on the upside the alcohol is well hidden.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 2, 2008 Updated: May 17, 2008This is obviously an Imperial IPA. Pours a pristine golden color with a medium frothy white head and great lines of lacing. Aroma is pine, pineapple, and grapefruit. Taste is small amount of piney bitterness, some nuttiness, pineapple, and some grapefruit. This is a great brew. I’d love to do a blind taste test with this, Hop Slam, and 90 Minute. dmac (1442), Toms River, New Jersey, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Feb 1, 2008 22 oz bottle purchased at Oak Tree. Pours a clear golden amber with nice effervescence rising from the center of my Nostradamus glass and nice pillowy white head that leaves some good lacing as I sip this one. Aroma of flowers, syrup and citrus. Palate is slightly on the thin side with average carbonation. Mostly hop flavor that is off balanced from the malts and it’s not a good hop flavor but hey who forgot to close the fridge door for the last several weeks?? I loved Unearthly but didn’t care for this and since Gemini is a combo of the two should I just save myself some time and average the two scores together myself?? thedm (3834), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 1, 2008 This bottled brew from a JSquire at rating party poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized white colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a hazy orange brown colored body and a good lacing. The mild aroma was hoppy floral and malty. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and strongly tingly at the finish. The strong flavor contained notes of hops. Delicious and one I would certainly like to have again. Kinz (2200), Glen Allen, Virginia, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 30, 2008 Perfectly clear gold, almost shockingly clear in fact. Nice head throws a significantly well formed lace, presumably from the wheat. Pleasant citric hop nose, lemon, grapefruit, orange zest. Flavor is lightly biscuity malt, very light in fact, the faintest touch of honey, and then a load of pine and tropical fruit hops. Honestly never had anything quite like this, and I enjoyed it immensely. Good stuff. The 10% is totally masked. Very happy to see this show up in Richmond, VA. tennisjoel (937), Shakopee, Minnesota, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 29, 2008 Thanks Winston for picking me this up while in Chicago!
Pour appearance is hazy golden orange witha thinner head with good lacing. Perfumy aroma of apricot, pear, and mango as well as biscuit. Flavor is yeasty, bready while the finish is smooth. Qualities that I’ve noticed in Rogue brews, but better than their signature pacman yeast. There is a medicinal quality that slightly detracts from complete enjoyment of this brew. All in all, still pretty decent. At first, I didn’t notice the ABV, but after multiple sips it makes its way through. Oakes (8080), gone rambling, Vietnam
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 28, 2008 Hazy golden-amber colour. Rich, resiny hop aroma is bright and appetizing. Really rich citrus, pine, resin. The pale malt signature is robust but simple breads. The alcohol comes in late to mix with some of the resin. All the same, I love both these hops but get the sense they probably don’t belong in the same beer together. michael-pollack (2650), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA
