Aroma: Citrus hops fading to a nice malt caramel. Taste: Medium bodied with a very even hops and malt mix. Not too hoppy, not too sweet or sour yeast. Nice brew. I avoided this brew and have missed out. Even and well made. RedSox2004 (362), Pacific Palisades, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jul 15, 2008 Hazy golden orange with a generous head and ok lacing. Citrus hops on the nose. Biscuit flavors offset the hops on the tongue, resulting in a very well balanced beer. Smooth creamy mouthfeel, good carbonation, and the balance remained in the aftertaste. This is a beer everyone could like. westasleep (2), Dublin, Ireland does not count | 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 15, 2008 Poured from the bottle, good head and hazy body. Great balance of the malt and nice hop aromas. Good balance of flavours in the nouth and a nice mouthfeel that lingered just long enough. Was looking forward to trying this beer for a long time and did not dissapoint on a rare sunny afternoon in Dublin, Thanks Anchor... bhops (334), Dallas, Texas, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 13, 2008 Bottle. Aroma of floral hops, grassy hops, dry bitter hops, sweet pale malt base, ctirus and appley esters. Very nicely balanced between the bitter and the sweet in the mouth, despite the admittedly strong hop presence. The malt remains strong enough to be quite luscious in its own right, always very juicy. Very nice. portaire (2), El Segundo, California, USA does not count | 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Jul 11, 2008 Updated: Feb 19, 2009Recieved 6 pck bottle as gift from friend. Launched me on my journey to new beer discovery. Golden color, nice head, good body. Fruity, with a slightly bitter finish that works well. Strong hops presence. Tasty brew!! bobinlondon (847), Harrow, Greater London, England
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jul 11, 2008 Top presure tap at the White Horse, Parsons Green, London. Hazy orange with a very short lived white head. Floral aroma. Very unusual taste reminding me of fruit sorbet! Very restrained hop characture. I wouldn’t try it again in a hurry.
