Horrible aroma and flavor of cooked canned green beans. Offputting flavors of old peat and mud. Amazing that Paul and I agreed for once on a terrible beer. Too bad, I seem to usually like the Bieropholie stuff. elihapa (1071), Honolulu, California, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 30, 2008 Bottle from Terroirs. Pours a golden brown, with a caramel-hoppy aroma. Flavor had bold notes of sweet, darker fruit, with a delicious hoppiness throughout. All flavors were rounded with some sweetness, with the more traditional bitter hop notes only showing through at the very end. A very well-made brew, beautiful balance and juicy fruit character.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 18, 2008 Bottled. Poured perfecly clear amber with a dusting of white head and some spotty lacing. The aroma picked up juicy medium-skinned fruit and perfumey hoppage over a candy-like caramel backing. The flavor had caramel and fruity sweetness at the core (not as sweet as the nose) with sticky citrus, perfume, and spicier floral bitterness around.. moderate level of bitterness.. finished a little warm and spicy with sticky fruit sweetness hanging around. Medium-bodied on the palate with low carbonation.. long impression on the finish, but it was just OK. TaktikMTL (2786), Montréal-Nord, Quebec, Canada

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 24, 2008 (Bottle) Pours a deep mahogany body with a small beige head. Aroma of nuts, chocolate, grape, and toffee. Flavor of nuts, toasted malt, cocoa, caramel, and grassy hops with a dry, bitter finish. DrDavid (957), Johnson, Vermont, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 20, 2008 (Bottle). Earthy aroma. Dark orange copper color with small off-white head. Flavor is somewhat sweet, restrained citrus, and lacks the aggressive bitter bite of other IPAs. To my taste, falls somewhere between an IPA and an APA. (Actually, tastes a lot like Anchor Liberty Ale.) Very tasty and refreshing, but not an especially impressive exemplar for the style. french tickler (642), Aylmer, Quebec, Canada
