Well drinkable. Surprisingly 10%. Very hoppy yet not bitter as well malted. Medium to full mouthfeel. Great with fish. HogTownHarry (4037), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada

Hazy orange, large white creamy-rocky head. Lovely resiny-citrus hop aroma, enough malt and lactic sweetness to balance - really nice. Taste is almost too balanced, malt & citrus hops, a little bitter in the finish - solid. Creamy, astringent, lively mouthfeel - really like this one.

Bright hazy orange, creamy slightly porous white top.
Rich aroma, blend of clean alcohol and high alpha hops. Slightly creamy bottom.
Medium bodied with clean warming alcohol. Strong hop presence with creamy finish. Good middle of the road hoppy ale with above average clean alcohol (especially for such potency).

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 11, 2006 Bottle from Premier Gourmet. Golden amber body with a big creamy beige head. Moderate resiny hop aroma, light caramel, alcohol, grassy hop notes. Fairly prominent alcohol comes out a lot as the glass warms, moderate bitterness and resin, sweet underlying caramel malt. Medium warming palate. Nice but lacks the gravitas and balance of some others. 7/4/7/3+/15

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Mar 31, 2007 This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a small sized head of foamy off-white colored bubbles that were and left behind a hazy with fine particulate typically carbonated and an excellent lacing. The aroma was malty musty and mild hop. The mouth feel was very tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of malt and thick with hops. sayravai (3790), Helsinki, Finland
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 29, 2006 Updated: Apr 30, 2006(Bottled, 2004 vintage, 140 SEK/12 fl.oz!) Very hazy red-amber color with a small, lasting head. Crisp, strongly flowery-hoppy aroma with lots of exotic fruit. Raw-malty base with lots of aromatic, flowery hops thrown on top. Sandelwood, lavender, mint. Long, flowery-hoppy, dry and bitter, a bit harsh aftertaste. Alcohol is well hidden. Quite full-bodied and sticky with a medium carbonation. Good stuff - the kind a Double IPA should be.
