Jul 22, 2009 Pours a clear coppery amber with a medium sized beige head. Aroma of tangy citrus and floral hops. Taste of light grapefruit, perfume, and hints of tropical fruit.

Jul 22, 2009 Bottle, as Scratch 20, from Capone’s (Norristown, PA). Pours orange-brown, capped with a modest sized cream colored head. Hop-forward aroma, with notes of grapefruit and earth, with a little caramel in the background. Caramel malt hits the palate for an instant, then is overcome by the hops, with grapefruit, pine, and earth the dominant flavors. Earthy hop resins cling to the palate for a slightly astringent finish.

Jul 18, 2009 Bottle... Lightly hazy orange ale with a small, creamy, white head. Good retention. Grapefruit, resin and earthy notes in the nose along with lots medium-roast malt(s). Very full-bodied with timid carbonation. Huge malt backbone with lots of caramel sweetness that is countered by an abundance of earthy hop bitterness; neither really reigns supreme = nice balance. Lengthy, mainly bitter finish. Kudos to doublesimcoe for the bottle!

Jul 14, 2009 Draft at DRE. Pours deep coppery brown with 1-finger off-white head that clings well. Nose is huge resiny and feety hops, mango, caramel malt. Tastes caramel malty, piney, mengoey, canteloupy, and hoppy. A bit too mangoey for me, and reminds me a bit of Stone 11, I believe (the very mangoey one). Solid, but not as good as the prior DRE Anniversaries.

Jul 6, 2009 Updated: Oct 28, 200912oz. Thanks to the very generous FooFaa. Weird, plastic-like resiny cat aroma. Dank. A hint of rough caramels. Unique. Planty. Pours a well-hazed dark copper, with a white rim. Ugh. This is rough. The flavor is rather icky. A sticky, wet, slightly rotting plant flavor. Gummy, but not good. Carries an incredibly coarse, rough "green" character. Dusty. A bit soapy. This has a really coarse and unpleasant hop profile. Not particularly successful.

Jun 30, 2009 Poured amber in color, with an off white head. Citrus-hoppy aroma, and the taste followed suit. Very nice hop flavor, with enough malt balance, and a bit of spice to liven it up. I very much enjoyed this ale.

Jun 28, 2009 Growler shared at Cigar City!! Amber pour. Lots of floral hops, some citrus and caramel malt. Juicy flavor with grapefuit peel, caramel and a dose of bittnerness. Ok.
