| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Apr 1, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy, dark amber with a thin, off-white head. The smell is very piney and grapefruit with some alcohol. Taste is pine and grapefruit hops and sweet malt. Mouthfeel is medium-to-thick and creamy with a good, bitter aftertaste and some hints of alcohol. Loved this brew!

Lots of golden orange color. The taste is very strong of hops with a nice tartness as it finished. The high alcohol content is not even noticeable, making this a very easy to drink beer. mcart034 (35), Manassas, Virginia, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Mar 30, 2008 Pours cloudy orange. Tons of hop aroma. Huge hop flavor is balanced by the malt. Highly drinkable double IPA and one of my favorites. hoppopotamus (182), Santa Cruz, California, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Mar 29, 2008 Updated: Mar 29, 2009Looks great, a hazy deep orangey red with a decent off-white head. The aroma is pure hoppery, citrusy and piney with a little hint of sweetness at the end. The taste is also hop-dominated, but sits on top of a nice malty sweetness. Doesn’t finish quite as dry or bitter as most DIPAs, which lost it points by my measure. If you like hops, you will like this beer. hophead420 (4), columbus, Ohio, USA does not count | 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Mar 26, 2008 picked this masterpiece up from the grapes of merth in the short north market in columbus, oh. pours a deep orange hew. perfect caribanation for a IIPA. taste of citrusy grapefruit delicious! a must try for all hopheads Oakes (8080), gone rambling, Vietnam
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 25, 2008 Hazy orangey-golden. Drool...deep rich orangey, yuzu-y simcoe nose. I like that. Rich, resiny, orangey...just some good clean IPA fun. Solid pale malt underpinning is perfect. Slightly sticky finish. iride15 (171), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 25, 2008 A great double ipa. Heavy malt with citrus and hoppy flavor. Definitely a beer worth ordering as much as possible. hotstuff (3175), Indiana, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 22, 2008 Bottle courtesy of jsquire at Fort Wayne Winter Gathering. Small head that mostly diminished, spotty lacing, hazy, no carbonation observed, and an orangish hue. Nose was hoppy, citrus, grapefruit, and caramel. Ditto for the flavor. Smooth mouthfeel and light-medium in body.Quaffable for the style and not over-the-top hops IMO.Would drink again and worthy of a try.
