Strong citrus aroma. Very processed malt taste. A decent beer but nothing to recommend it. Block (379), West Lafayette, Indiana, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 9, 2008 Golden color with bubbly white head. Faint aroma of malts. Taste initially of all malts with a little bit of hops coming in at the very end. WISEGUY572 (1246), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Sep 27, 2008 Strange ... spicy enough and bitter enough I guess, and obviously hopped with PNW hops, but it still reminded me more of a mass market European lager with a strangely metallic off note in the finish. Hazy orange, OK appearance, some malt notes, some orange and pine notes, bitter finish, sounds better than it was. jimig (23), , Texas, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 21, 2008 Average hop smell and taste. Light color pour and easy head. Lighter hop/citrus style flavor and a bitterish finish. HonkeyBra (1352), Lemont, Illinois, USA
| 1.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Sep 21, 2008 pours amber, with a stale hoppy nose. Flavor is stale hops and some malt. Pretty lame. I’d never have this again. berkshirejohn (1830), Bracknell, Berkshire, England

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 17, 2008 Really beautiful pour, a rich coppery-brown color with a very large, light off-white head that is long lasting. Light-to-moderate citrus aroma with nectarines and caramel undertones. Grainy flavor initially, turns sharply bitter as piney hops join the party. Finish is slightly sour, moderately bitter with a slightly metallic note. A touch thin on the palate. Overall, though, I found this to be a rather good APA, surprisingly so considering the low score. Well worth a try. ilherps (226), Carbondale, Illinois, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Sep 15, 2008 Crystal clear amber. Scents of citrus emanate with a more subtle floral aroma. The flavor is very caramelized, with some malts, and a dry, citrus- hop finish.
