| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jun 30, 2008 22 oz bottle from South Bay Drugs. As I cracked the cap off, I could begin to smell a fair serving of west coast hops and notes of citrus. Appeared as a vibrant golden hue with small sign of sediment and a small layer of foam. The flavor is a strong delivery of citrus westcoast hops that just over bear the bitter part of my tongue, but that’s okay since its giving a touch of alcohol that ordinary IPA’s wouldn’t be able too.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 12, 2008 Copper-amber color...small, lingering head. Big refreshing aroma of big hops & spritzy pine. Big taste of grapefruit, white pepper, lemon rind, slight sweetness, and a big bitter finish...ayieee!! Ibrew2or3 (2766), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 6, 2008 Bomber pours deep gold with white head. The aroma is full and loaded with grapefruit tartness and sweet tangelo along with a hint of malt sweetness in the background. The taste is fresh, bright and refreshing and doesn’t lead on at all to the label stated ABV. I get sweet malts that quickly bleed into a load of grapefruit hops and tangelo. Very nice experience. The Belgian yeast approach compliments the late addition hop flavor and sweet malts nicely. Yum. It has a somewhat dry finish. sliffy (2012), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 24, 2008 Bottle shared by ogglethorp: Pours a hazy gold with an off white head. Aroma, earthy notes, pine, citrus and pale malts. Flavor, caramel, some sugars, earthy and citrus hops on the finish. papajohn (1055), San Diego (Mira Mesa), California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 21, 2008 22 oz bottle from BevMo: Clear golden amber color with a small egg shell white head. Aroma is lightly yeasty, floral and citric. Flavor starts with tropical fruit and a light grassyness follwed by some spice and a dry spicey orange rind bitterness. Medium body is tangy with moderate carbonation. Way over priced IMHO. JMFG (1514), Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 15, 2008 Courtesy TheCheeseMan. Hazy copper-orange color with a broken soapy white head. Citric hoppy aroma, vague fruity Belgian yeasty notes in the background. Slight tart hoppiness on the taste, lightly peppery, great finish of balanced hops and Belgian phenols. A nice blend of flavors. Schroppfy (1813), Ohio, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 15, 2008 Very tropical and very metallic, all at the same time. The flavor is a swirling abundance of pineapple and papaya, very sweet, with acidic grapefruit hugely at the finish. A little back-of-the-throat smack-smack, if you know what I mean. Tinny - some crazy metallic tones that tingle my teeth.
Smell is pretty typical grapefruit - a lot of rind aromatics.
Thanks stefanje.
