| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 20, 2002 Big hoppy nose reminiscent of Hop Devil, amber body, quickly receding head, crystal clear. Nice spicy flavor, but the body seems a touch flat and lifeless. BigSkyman007 (194), USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 13, 2002 Definitely the heaviest beer hopwise I’ve ever had...I would have expected a beer with so much hops to be quite bitter, but it is a very pleasant surprise, as the hops are very balanced. Nice aroma, good bronze/amber color, nice head...Weyerbacher put out excellent quality microbrews, and this is no exception Odeed (1682), Bakersfield, California, USA

Aroma was fruity and piney, but not overpowering. A bit thin in body, but with a well balanced hop taste ending in a malt sweetness. I was expecting more, but nevertheless a good IPA. arrogantb (734), Denver, Colorado, USA

Poured from a 12 oz. bottle (thanks to zrrbrrt) into a pint glass. Interesting label art with a close-up of a hop and some futuristic lettering. Cool. The color is a nice amber-orange with a thick white head that is already leaving some lacing as I type. Nice hoppy, citrus smell but subtle, not overpowering. Taste is very hoppy and not balanced but that doesn’t seem to make a difference to me. The mouthfeel is slightly creamy and pleasant. The aftertaste is a little bitter with hops and hangs around in my mouth a little too long. Drinkability suffers a little from the aftertaste. This is a pretty tasty IPA and a nice surprise. If I could get this in Colorado I would probably drink it on a fairly regular basis. I liked this more than the other IPA’s I’ve had from Pennsylvania (Hop Devil and Hop Wallop). If you are an IPA fan, I recommend getting your hands on this one.

Pours a large foamy white head, leaves a LOT of lace. Fairly clear dark copper color. Very hoppy grapefruit citrus aroma with some floral undertones. Tastes like it smells. Some sweet malt upfront, followed by some orange, lemon, and grapefurit. Dry finish. Lingering aftertaste. Dry but refreshing with the hoppy tastebud dance. This is how a grapefruity IPA should taste...yumm!
