| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 8, 2009 Received from kyzr via trip to Montana back in 2007. Pours a semi-clear copper colored brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates. Aroma of light caramel malt, citrus zest a hint of lemon and a touch of earthy spice. Taste is fruity caramel malt, with plenty of citrus flavors that overpowers any other flavors. Finish is semi-dry with some mild bitterness and citrus aftertaste. Bottle held up pretty good after two years of aging. unclemattie (2438), Georgia, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 29, 2008 Golden-orange color with a nice head. Smooth and creamy texture. Surprisingly complex malts -- intense toast, rich toffee and dark caramel. Some burntness and a pinch of campfire. Earthy hops with dark pine, ripened grapefruit, pear and apricot. Rock-candy sweetness lingered, as did grass. Fitting level of bitterness. Really tasty IPA with some interesting things going on. Solid malt backbone as well. hopealicia (3), Missoula, Montana, USA does not count | 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Aug 24, 2008 Appearance: Clear, hardly any head.
Taste: Not a whole lot there. Watery and light. Not a strong finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-Bodied
Drinkability: Not a strong contenter with the other greats out there! Too easy to forget. bitbucket (2036), Kirkland, Washington, USA

Drinkability: Strinkingly similar to their Pale Ale, just with a slight increase in the hops.
