| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 19, 2009 12oz. Pours cloudy gold/orange. Finger of white head, nice lingering white lacing. Aroma is strange... the only thing I can think of to describe it is "baby diaper"; and not a clean one...Flavor is a bit weak for an IPA- lots of grass and flowers. Not much of a lingering taste.
I much prefer Anchor Steam. nefarious (203), Clarkston, Michigan, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 18, 2009 nice copper pour with a big fluffy head. Strong grassy notes and just a hint of hops, lots of grass in the flavor and a hop biye at the end. This has awesome lacing on the glass and is silky smooth on the palate. nice bitter finish and very drinkable. Nebulor (109), , California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 16, 2009 Some caramel and mild pine aroma.
Hazy light apple juice color with some action and sediment suspension.
Tea flavor with a hint of caramel and a lemon/lime hop taste.
Light to medium bodied, some resin feel, and a crisp carbonation.
The resin feel or the crisp carbonation may be off. lumberjack (178), Michigan, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Feb 16, 2009 12 oz bottle from Oliver T’s...Pours out a cloudy unfiltered gold/orange color. Low amount of head. Aroma is a wonderful blend of floral hops and clean sweet malts. Flavor is very well balanced, with a fair amount of grapefruity Cascade bitters and pale malts. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Overall, this is a simple yet very refreshing beer, and would be great in summer. BroSpud (612), , Massachusetts, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Feb 15, 2009 Bottle. Multiple tastings. (Review of past tastings from memory) I am a big fan of Anchor Steam so naturally I have tried my share of these as well. I do not remember liking them any better than the Steam but I see these are getting more love in the ratings so I may need to retaste. jamvin23 (162), chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Feb 15, 2009 Hoppy aroma with toasted malt hints. Hops are overwhelming which is good if your a Hophead like me. patricks110 (285), Alberta, Canada
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 15, 2009 Had in a bottle from Bottlescrew Bills, Calgary, Alberta. Pour of golden yellow and tight white head. Aroma of a good beer. Taste of earthiness and fresh hops. A really good beer. Would much rather drink this than Anchor Steam.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 14, 2009 Amazingly, this is like a non-bitter Ipa. Great hop flavor with none of the bite, I like that. Some good maltiness to it, but the flower flavor and smell tops it. Smooth and light, great for chugging.
