Aroma of sweet malt, caramel, slightly nutty, and a hint of floral hops. Taste is the same as aroma with hints of toasted malt and tons of hops. Medium moutheel with a moderate amount of bitterness. Good. blankboy (3207), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | May 22, 2008 Bottle (22oz) shared with HogTownHarry, tupalev & garthicus -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a clear orange-amber with a massive foamy white head. Dry, musty yeasty aroma -- I suspect it’s slightly infected or slightly past it’s due date. Flavour: Meh, tastes old and bland -- dry, watery and yeasty with a bit of sourness. Average bodied. Overly carbonated. Not very good. Ughsmash (4039), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 16, 2008 Bomber, thanks to Bob! Poured crystal-clear medium amber with a tall, thick, sticky cap of beige head.. quite lovely. The aroma picked up soft, dusty yeast notes disseminated through caramel, toffee, and light fruity sweetness.. a touch of brown sugar.. came off entirely pleasant. The flavor had toffee sweetness primarily with lesser caramel and some floral notes.. finished tacky with toffee and honey sweetness. Light-medium bodied with high, creamy carbonation.. almost felt nitrogen-injected.. OK feel for the beer. This was solid. tupalev (2617), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | May 14, 2008 Bottle shared with Garthicus, Hogtown Harry, and Blankboy, courtesy of Harry. Musty dry aroma. Decent orange pour, huge gushing foamy white head. Taste is very dry, a tad sour and watery. Not too much here, the body is way too foamy to really let out any falvours. Past its prime likely. HogTownHarry (4020), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | May 13, 2008 Updated: May 14, 2008Bottle (22oz). Shared with blankboy, garthicus and tupalev, my bottle via trade with Oakbluff. Hmmm - quite a near gusher on opening (I was warned, opened it slowly, still foamed), cloudy orange pour, huge frothy off-white head. Dry, peppery yeasty aroma, slightly metallic, light, vague caramel malt. A bit of fruit to the taste, sour, dry, peppery, stale - long stale aftertaste. Average, stinging mouthfeel, dry, seemed to attack my tongue a bit. Didn’t like it - california common? Frankly, I think it might have been a bit infected. garthicus (1304), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | May 13, 2008 HogTownHarrys bottle, shared with Harry, Paul and Jeff: Huge gushing bottle, took Harry a couple of mins to open with care. Poured with a HUGE head. Golden body with a (now small after the storm) white head. Some flecks of yeast (?) in there. Aroma: Sour and musty, some banana too. Flavour, bitter, carbonated, quite a sour finish, can’t say I like it. zeke626 (302), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 2, 2008 Bottle, pours a hazy orange with yellowish white head. Aroma of light floral hops and citrus. Flavor is more of the same with a nice, smooth, bitter hop tone. Nothing outstanding, but a very drinkable session beer. cykyc (28), USA
