"NorCal tasting July 07 - I'm wondering if this beer is a bit old, because there was some oxidation creeping into it in both aroma and taste. Even with that, this beer still was very tasty. Nose was caramel sweet with a good helping of piney goodness. Appearance was a burnt orange color, nice head (always did appreciate a darker IPA for some reason). Mouthfeel was smooth, yet lively enough to notice. The one-two punch of hops and malts were nice but a bit too much alcohol crept into the taste which was a bit of a downer (esp. for only a 6%'er). Overall I did enjoy this beer and look forward to more Dark Horse beers."

[3] Review by Phil B from Gatineau, Canada who has tried this beer once. (5/1/2007 1:39:00 PM)
"Bottle courtesy of Sammy: Poured a cloudy dark beige color ale with a nice big foamy head with good retention and lacing. Aroma of piney and citrus hops is quite overpowering but also very enjoyable. Taste is a mix between some nice caramel and toffee malt with some huge bitter piney hops. Body is quite full with what appears to be low filtration. I am actually surprised at the rating since I thought this was actually a lot better then the norm."

[4] Review by Phishpond417 from Madtown, Wisc, USA who has tried this beer once. (4/21/2007 9:48:48 PM)
"Exactly what I was looking for in an IPA. Pours a vibrant orange colour with a large beige head. Aroma is strong of fresh hops, pine and generous amount of grapefruit. Taste is firm, astringent and hoppy."

[5] Review by RedHaze from Bellevue, NE, USA who has tried this beer a couple times. (2/3/2007 10:14:35 AM)
"Pours a pale orange color with a one finger head that fades to a thin cap that leaves behind lots of lacing.
Smell; tons of floral hops, grapefruit, mild caramel malts.
Taste; lots of citrus and floral hops up front, foloowed by a solid malt backbone, and has just a little bit of a grainy feel to it in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, and a litlle slick from the hop oils. I think Dark Horse did a really nice job with this IPA, and now I'm going to have to look for the Double Crooked Tree the next time I'm in MI."
