Contrary to what the prior posters decreed, this is super sexy label art. As a matter of fact, everything about this beer is set up to turn a man on. If only it were available out here in ’’Ahregone’’! Onslow (174), Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Oct 22, 2008 Something about the packaging or label kept me from trying this for a long time. I finally picked up a 6 Pack at the Paradise, MI, IGA while on vacation last summer. Its been a favorite ever since. A coppery light amber pour with a perfect off-white head. Aroma is dominated by hops. Flavor is full bodies malty with a bit of fruit, incredible hops finish. A fabulous IPA. tarheels86 (730), Washington DC, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 21, 2008 Very solid IPA. Aroma is sweet and citrusy. Lots of grapefruit with an initial hoppy bite that quickly fades. Medium palate. Very smooth and balanced. incredible lacing and an overall extremely creamy body and mouthfeel. An excellent IPA where you can never go wrong. DandyWolfFloyd (331), Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 20, 2008 Aroma is dominated by Pacific north west hops, and some citrus grapefruit esters. It’s appearance is a medium dark golden with a full white head that is high in retention. The flavor is a perfect balance of malts and aggressive hops. The balance is masterful, with a nice warming feel. Not entirely sexy label, but whatever, it’s what inside right. gambeerer (2), , Alabama, USA does not count | 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Oct 20, 2008 Simply a great beer. Great initial bitterness followed by a flood of pleasing warmth. Enjoy a pitcher on a nice sunny day. ansermadide (507), Kyle, Texas, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 17, 2008 Updated: Oct 23, 2008(On draft at Magnolia with Dad in Purcelville, Virginia on October 17, 2008) Just had it a few hours ago, but have had a few since then. Seriously hoppy, but not uncomfortably so. Easy going down, easy on the palate, yet spunky and reviving after a long day in transit. I would not suggest this to a non-hop head, however. beerdetox (14), Illinois, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 17, 2008 Feel blessed to have easy access to this beer. Great IPA. Not much else to say, everyone else has classified the flavors well. Just drink and enjoy with a good cigar.
