| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 7, 2008 Bottle from Liquor Depot. Fairly fresh and it showed. I would have this again, not for the non-existant aroma, but for the nice appley flavor of hops that are extraordinarily reminiscent of a Three Floyds beer - especially Pride and Joy. Wow. What an inexpensive W-Coast alternative to that. maeib (4772), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 1, 2008 Bottled. A golden orange coloured beer with a little whitish head. The aroma is quite pleasant but subtle citrus hoppy. Oranges and sweet grapefruit in the mouth. Fairly bitter but the hops are again nicely subtle. Nice. golubj (1300), Sunnyvale, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 15, 2008 Sampled at Stone Brewing. I thought it was sweet, spicy and grainy; and for some reason I wrote down it makes me moist, I am certain this comment made sense in the context of the tasting situation. oreogobbler (217), Austin, Texas, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 15, 2008 Very clean, crisp, fruity aroma. Lemon rind, orange or tangerine, and maybe some grapefruit juice. Pours a very clear light orange, almost yellow with a white patchy head. Very fruity with just the right amount of hop bitterness. The palate is not to thick, clean, and and enjoyable. Nothing special, but a good session beer. I’d love to drink it often. slimchill (783), Austin, Texas, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 12, 2008 Bottle. Strong citrus peel aroma, very clean grapefruit and orange. Simple but very nice. Clear orange/yellow with a short lived and then patchy white head. One-dimensional but very tasty orange hop flavor, medium bitterness and a clean finish, if somewhat bland. A bit thin but good sharp carbonation gives a nice mouthfeel. Solid all-around. BlackForestCO (828), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 12, 2008 Bottle. Poured a orange-tinted yellow color with a thick off-white head that slowly receded to a layer and left nice lacing. Aroma of sweet tea, light caramel, a some moderate floral hops. Subtle, lightly sweet malt entry with undertones of sweat tea and some light caramel leading into a lightly bitter, spicy hop finish. Decent mouthfeel. ESB’s are definitely not my favorite style, but this one was pretty solid for the style in my eyes. MiP (9160), Sønderborg, Denmark
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Sep 9, 2008 Bottle at GBBF08. Weak teaish hop aroma. Cloudy amber colour. Stable creamy white head. Good teaish hop flavour. Nice and clean bitterness. Quite pleasant
