lordeche (397), Quincy, Massachusetts, USA Feb 26, 2008 Pours orange with some off-white head. Aroma of pale and caramel malts and some citrus hoppiness. Nice bit of citrus in the flavor complimented by some earlthy dry-hopping, mango, caramel and pale malts. Palate is oily, sticky, and fairly thick. Not bad, not great. phiconners (122), Massachusetts, USA Feb 20, 2008 Pours a thick orange, not much head at all. Aroma is mild citrus. Strong hops flavor comes through, felt a bit thinner than it looked. Alcohol is well masked. A good but not great double IPA. bassbuckeye (81), Ohio, USA Feb 17, 2008 Amber poor with nice head. Blueberry flavor with hop finish kind of strange but I enjoyed it. Goodgrief (1144), Middletown, Delaware, USA Feb 16, 2008 Jan. 2007 - My favorite flavor in a beer is probably caramel malts. I also love a strong flavor. This beer was abundant in both, but what a mess. Incredibly sweet...repulsively so. Strangely, mellowed out a bit as it warmed, but not enough. Oh yeah, beautiful orange color, nice head and lacing. Other flavors were sweet fruits (apricots?), noticeable alcohol and fruity hops (grapefruit and others). Just too freaking sweet. Naka (524), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Feb 14, 2008 Pours a caramel-orange color with a very small head that lasts for a decent while. Aroma of sweet ruby red grapefruit with some brown sugar. A citrus rind bitterness with a nice balance of caramel and honey flavor. Good texture with a bit of an oily feel. Very drinkable for the high abv... skoisirius (570), Seattle, Washington, USA Feb 11, 2008 12 oz bottle. Lots of piny citrus business up in your nose from the start. A bit of alcohol is visible in the flavors. Different fruity flavors blend in the lemon citrusy aspect of this one. Quite bitter and bitter lasting towards the end. Fairly carbonated. Good stuff. after4ever (2711), Brier, Washington, USA Feb 11, 2008 12-oz. Medium amber caramel body with bright carbonation and a thin, light gray filmy head. Buttery mango and pineapple nose. Medium body with very present carb. Biscuity and mango-y mid-palate. Mild biscuity finish. Good stuff. Skeegle (476), Maryland, USA Feb 10, 2008 Not the most refined IIPA but wonderfully hoppy and full of tude none the less. pours orange like the label and the 10.5%isn’t hidden at all, be that a good thing or bad thing. I liked it.
