| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 28, 2009 Bottle. Poured sunburst amber, close to ruby up top, with a thick cream head. Aroma was both spicy and citric hops, fruity almost like grape, bready, pine, and a little grapefruit. Pine, bready, raisinish, citrus, slight lemony spice. Palate true to the style. Really good.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 26, 2009 Amber pour. Herbal/floral nose, taste follows same vein, with tones of grapefruit, and of course lots of hops. Not my favorite style of beer, but for still pretty enjoyable anyway, because of a commendable balance of flavors. Nice. shawnm213 (913), South Bend, Indiana, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 24, 2009 Enjoyed via 12oz bottle. Pours a nice medium copper. Nose of powerful American hops, fragrant and wonderful! Palate is hop-forward, but nicely balanced, so as not to be simply hop liquid. Finishes with a nice dry quality that makes it an easy, and perhaps slightly dangerous, beverage. Well done. BMan1113VR (2813), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 21, 2009 Bottle via a trade with hopdog. Pours with a small, off-white head over a hazed orange body. Good lace. Aroma of herbal and sticky hops, caramel and exotic fruits. Taste is herbal hops with toasted bread and passion fruit. Slightly fizzy mouthfeel and on the watery side of things.
