| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 20, 2007 12 oz bottle-Trade w/Acknud. Orange color w/no head. Floral hop aroma. This one was a little cold w/I poured it & I didn’t think much of it on the first drink, but it really developed some nice flavor as it warmed. Traces of citrus, bread dough, cane sugar, & spice. Had a little bit of a sweet malt flavor w/traces of caramel. Solid brew, very enjoyable. Strykzone (1500), Wood River, Illinois, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 19, 2007 For a "hoppy" beer this one is very unique. The traditional hop flavors are absent and such flavors as resin, sugar, and bread are found. Ok, how can I taste caramel with in such a hopped beer? The aftertaste is honey. Alcohol gives a warming feel. A very nice beer. jlf278 (255), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Sep 19, 2007 12 oz. bottle, at least 6 months old. Poured hazy gold, dirty in color ;-) with almost no head. The aroma is of grapefruit, orange and pine, quite nice. Palate is full-bodied, slightly creamy, but still clean and smooth. Tastes of pineapple, grapefruit, mud, resin, spice and honey. Very much like a double IPA. Sweetness is balanced by hops, but not extreme or excessive on either account. A very pleasant beer, I would gladly revisit.
