0.8 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 2/20One of the worst beers I have ever tasted. this is the first triple IPA i have tried, and my initial skepticism proved to be right. It was too much of everything, in my opinion. The hoppiness and extreme malt flavors cancelled each other out, and reminded me of a bad barleywine mixed with cough syrup. From reading other reviews i see that some like this but I’ll pass.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. It pours an orangey dark golden body and almost no head. The aroma still has a good hoppyness, altough faded. Pine cones and resins and a good dash of orange zest. Maltyness too. It’s quite bitter in the mouth, with malty sweetness trying to balance it. Pine cones, orange and some phenolic notes. Lasting bitter finish with a nice sugary maltyness. Even though it’s more than six years old, it’s a nice DIPA. 130216

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Had this for a long time. Very hazy amber, thinner head but leaves some lacing. Bigger malty nose but not overpowering, hints of citrus and some pine. Flavor is prompt and potent. Hop bite from the get-go, obvious malt profile and green hop flavor. Big and large, not the most clean and distinct tasting. I guess the cloudy appearance is somewhat representative of the over all flavor. Perhaps this could have come across a bit better had I handled it better over the last few years.
