| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Aug 14, 2008 murky amber beer with a large creamy beige head. big, wet, fresh, resiny pine-citrus hop aroma with spicy caramel malts. flavor is loaded with chocolate, cocoa powder, caramel, piney hops, mint, licorice, and other spices. balanced perfectly. impressive brewery. vyvvy (2068), Hazelwood, Missouri, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 25, 2009 Pours brown / dark amber with a soapy tan head. The aroma seems oxidized, but it is supposedly a fresh bottle ~ maybe its something else, but I’m not digging it. There is mushy malt, bit cardboardy, caramel and biscuit. Medium / crisp body that is fuller on the finish with some sharp carbonation. The flavor starts with cardboard / woodiness and some spiciness from hops. There is also mushy toasted malt. The finish doesn’t offer much more. This one just isn’t made for me. radiomgb (2068), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 25, 2009 bottle - Pours dark amber-orange with a one finger head. The aroma is of citrus hops and sweet caramel and nut malt. The flavor is moderately bitter and well balanced with a medium body and a lingering bitter finish. It’s good though to me the hops didn’t have a lot of character like the pine and citrus notes that go so well in an IPA. Still a solid, if rather pricey, brew. SpringsLicker (2043), Tennessee, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 27, 2009 Pours ruddy dark gold with a generous tan head.
Ample citrus hop aroma with bready yeast and malts underneath.
Very fruity with some hop dryness in the finish. Well balanced, not overly bitter.
Very smooth and full bodied.
Nicely different!
