Aroma: Mostly earthy hops, a bit of grapefruit, and some light caramel as well
Appearance: Dark amber-like color, lots of sediment floating in this beer, some minor lacing on the glass, a nice looking beer
Flavor: I taste a nice amount of hops here, some light grapefruit sweetness in the finish
Palate: A nice body on this one, it has a nice flow
Overall Impression:
A good brew, wasn’t particularly excited by the nose, but the taste was nice, and it was a really nice looking beer with an above average palate.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 5, 2009 on tap at CBC d terminal of the charlotte airport.
hazy coppery brown pour with an off white head and a ladder of foamy rings to let me know where the beer once was.
lux leafy hoppy aroma (could have been due to the fact that everything for the last five hours smelled like armpits on the plane), caramel grain, earthy dryness, spice and slight pine.
the flavor follows..., perfume, earthy, really dry, crisp and refreshing with a non resinous pine finish which lingers.
medium bodied with sharp carbonation. 7/4/7/3/15/3.6 Soonah (970), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 29, 2009 From tronraner via trade. The pour was attractive. Clear, rich amber with a two-finger tall, off-white head that produced average lace. The aroma was mostly pine and floral hops with light spice and very thin citrus. The flavor was dry, bitter hops. Mostly pine, but also perfumy. A touch of sweetness. Thin, dry mouthfeel. fiver29 (729), Cleveland, Ohio, USA

Flavor is slight crisp hop upfront and finishes with caramel malt. Average to below average. AGAquino (92), San Juan, Puerto Rico

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 16, 2009 One of their better efforts, or maybe just the hops. Not much for florals but plenty of dry hops. Light copper color, fair head that disappears, all about the hops. agl108 (509), Manayunk, Pennsylvania, USA

MUCH more of an English IPA than American according to my tastebuds. I picked up no PNW qualities in this one. Adam77 (409), Eastampton, New Jersey, USA
