| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 13, 2009 Draft. Clearish deep golden with wafts of cereal and citrus off the top. A lingering grapefruited and powerful stinging bitterness emerges out of nowhere in the late palate for an unusual conclusion to a relatively tame forefront. I enjoyed the rapid variation in character. BMan1113VR (2943), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 10, 2009 Bottle. Pours with a hazy golden orange body with a fluffy off-white head a top. Apricot, honey biscuit, hops, citrus, tangerine, mango, and various exotic fruits on the nose. Taste is bitter (extremely so for a blond), and fruity, with hints of lemon and earth. A touch of malty cracker on the finish. Over carbonated, dry. Very nice blond. Alcohol is well hidden. blutt59 (2172), Dallas, Texas, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 28, 2009 Mini growler from Half-Time. Pours a hazy light yellow with a hefty cream head. Citrus hops and lemon on the nose. Body is thin to medium, with some sweetness. Finishes slowly with a bit of grapefruit and quinine bitterness. Much different than what I was expecting (id est, a simple boring uncomplicated blond), and it was quite a nice surprise.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 4, 2009 Hazy straw colour. Tart, grainy nose with apple skins. Sour, herbal, and lightly spicy. Whatever this is doing, I think the footy, slightly autolyzed electrical cord note doesn’t work for me. Beershine (2754), Traipsing Around, Cambodia
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 3, 2009 Bottle, kp party. Hazy gold, lovely aroma of citrus rind hop esters. The high carbonation detracts from the body, but it’s bursting with citrus rind hoppiness. Has slight thinness but manages to taste quite mature in spite of it, the hops really make it shine. kp (8500), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 11, 2009 Nice somewhat hazy blondish coloured body with an orange tint and a super-large off-white head. Aroma of pale malt, fresh high a.a. hops, peaches and some light yeast & caster sugar. Medium-bodied; Nice strong hop flavour up front with a good amount of pale malt and a pleasant fruity characteristic towards the end. Overall, a good beer - one of the best in the style i’ve had. Aside from being a bit over-carbonated, it was a nice beer to try! I sampled this 75 cL bottle purchased from a liquor shop in Haddonfield, New Jersey by Phil (haddon90) sampled on 25-December-2005.
