| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 25, 2008 Another winner from AleSmith. Had this several months ago. Very tart, with pine and citrus. The aroma is somewhat light. The alcohol is very hidden and is only noticeable after you have drank the whole 25-ounce bottle. Yummy. Gregis (1132), Shawnee, Kansas, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 22, 2008 Bottle courtesy of kmweaver. Pours a hazy, deep amber-orange with a creamy, beige head that reduces to a cap, leaving behind wispy lace. The nose is a nice, big, grapefruit front with a caramel backing and candy sugar coming in at the finish. If they made hop candy, this is what I imagine it would smell like. Medium-bodied and creamy, while on the tongue, the palate transitions to a lightly dry and lingeringly bitter finish. Huge grapefruit hops and a solid, malty caramel backing finish with a green, woody-dry conclusion that hints at a bit of spruce-like hops. This is a very nice beer. It certainly lived up to my expectations, and I will be keeping my eyes peeled for another bottle. Thanks again, Ken! unrulythings (73), Portland, Oregon, USA

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jan 8, 2008 Bomber from JCB - mad props to Jason, my NC brew pimp! Clear orange amber with a humongous, bubbly, off white head. Tons of bubbles rise in a maniacal race to the top of my Duvel tulip. Thick, foamy lace. Some sweet caramel and a light floral tone peek from behind a wall of sweet orange and light pine. Thick, bitter grapefruit and pine flavors are followed with a soothing malt sweetness. Mildly floral flavors late in the game, followed by a somewhat dry, bitter finish. Excellent. georgekappus (296), Brookfield, Connecticut, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 4, 2008 Bottle. Pours a light amber with a fluffy off white head. Aroma was hoppy, citrusy, and spicy (nutmeg, cinnamon). The taste matched the aroma with hops, citrus, and a touch of spice.
