| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | May 3, 2009 Bottle. Amber beer with an off-white head. Grapefruit and light pine aroma. Nice grapefruit and pine flavor with backing caramel. Medium-plus bodied. Caramel, grapefruit and pine linger. Nice bitterness. A bit too much caramel and so could use a bit more bitterness for an IIPA. Very nice, but also somehow just missing something. ScottyP (314), Brentwood, Tennessee, USA

Taste is caramel and toffee malt backbone plus plenty of hops - grapefruit, pine, and plenty of bite. Alcohol is very-well hidden, and the palate is smooth and full. Low carbonation. Outstanding DIPA, very drinkable and enjoyable. 41cubs (134), , New Jersey, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 21, 2009 Updated: May 5, 2009Nice job on this guy. Smell of caramel keeps pushing toward the front with a fruity tartness following. Mouthfeel is full and rich and lip smacking at the end,very good. Flavor is same as aroma with slight maple syrup maltiness and a bitter finish. Head flavor (the same as the beer but creamy) and retention are awesome and definitely add to the flavor. Thank You Weyerbacher. 2009 12 oz. jmm635 (254), Havertown, Pennsylvania, USA
