| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Oct 16, 2009 Bottle purchased at Friendly Mini-Mart in Lakewood. Pour is a gentle, near-headless golden orange, with slight haziness. The aroma is rather sweet, and less from bitter notes. A slight hint of ginger is covered by a strong orange-ish scent. I’m not totally sold on the flavor and mouthfeel combo. The flavor is a little too grassy and rought, and the texture is just kind of chalky. Not horrible, but I don’t expect to reach for a second bottle anytime soon. jredmond (1029), New Jersey, USA

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Oct 11, 2009 Batch 004 BBD 07/07/09. Bottle. Pours a clear light orange color with a very small, foamy head with big bubbles that receedes quickly. Nose is light with some stingy harvesty hop notes and some light biscuit notes. Palate is a little thin with a crispness to it. Flavor is the harvesty grainy hop notes with a light malt backbone of mostly biscuity qualities. Pyobon (271), Sydney, Australia
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 10, 2009 Bottle. Clear golden, almost orange, with thin head. Intense hop aroma that is complex and very appealing with hints of stone fruit. Full body with medium carbonation. Intense flavours that commands your full attention. It starts with a complex full fruity mix and metamorphoses into a huge hoppy bitter finish with a hardcore alcohol undrtone with the bitter finish lasting and lasting. An exceptional beer but not one for everyday - really a showpiece of what is possible - a bit extreme really. Pwn3d (1054), Manhattan, New York, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 9, 2009 On cask at the Chelsea brewery cask ale festival. Hoppy and packing som heat. Ok, not really balanced. funkleshite (10), California, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 8, 2009 Pours orange with a small dissipating white head. Guava, pink grapefruit, applejuice, and honey. really too sweet. white lacing like a spider’s web. The floral hops are hidden below the fruit. Not my cup o’ tea.
