| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Sep 20, 2004 Pours amber with big white frothy head. Lots and lots of lace. Aroma is sweet malt backbone with hops to balance. Flavor is nice and well rounded. Medium/full bodied with light bitterness. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 10, 2004 Pours copper with medium white head. Aroma of malt, hops, slight fruit and spice. Tastes moderately hoppy, with some malt, fruit, and slight spice. Not as rich or firm or complex as I like with pales and IPAs. A very good beer, but not an upper echelon beer. Medium to slightly light palate. kwoeltje (1321), Manchester, Missouri, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 8, 2004 (bottle) golden orange with large white head. Citrus/tangerine aroma. Well balanced hops and malt--not a hop monster. Body is a tad thin. auto (161), California, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 7, 2004 dark golden orange colour with a large dense head. spicy ipa type smell. clean flavour with a small bite. thick tingle on front of toungue. heemer77 (4304), Savannah, Missouri, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 7, 2004 A decent amount of lacing and some red tinting to the gold body. The aroma is fairly light with some apples and a touch of tangerines. The taste is earthy and malty. Very well balanced. The hops is nice and earthy. Almost a mushroom quality. I liek this one, even though it is not over the top hoppy. turbo (1254), Arizona, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Sep 2, 2004 Bottle poured a cloudy light amber with an awsome huge thick head that lasted the entire beer!!
A light fruity aroma with a flavor of hopps and fruit.
This is a very good beer and I liked it a lot!! and will but it again! skaughty (621), Marietta, Georgia, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 31, 2004 Poured a deep orange with a nice pillow of a white head. The aroma was of intentional floral hopping. Flavor-wise is where the confusion hit. There is a roastiness that could only mean the wrong choice of mts for the style. The flavor was solid and complete, but wood shouldn’t rule an APA. Finish is dry and average in duration. A slight disappointment in that it just isn’t refreshing. MAP (1089), Lakewood, Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 23, 2004 Rather nice soft golden color, and a good sized head on top. Aroma is quite fruity, orange, lemon and tangerine are all over the place. Yes, there is the smell of good ol’ hops in this, but man, smells like fruit punch IPA almost. Flavor is rather relaxed, but has a fine quality of drinkablity, hops character, malty body, and that goddamn fruityness again (which I like, but it’s still odd)
