| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 30, 2007 12oz bottle pours dark amber with a short creamy offwhite head that stayed pretty well. Aromas of caramel, toffee, toasted malts, and a fair amount of citrus and spice. Flavor is lots of toffee, caramel, and toasted malts, a fair amount of citrus and spice from the well balanced hops too. Nice and smooth throughout with an almost creamy mouthfeel. I thought this was pretty nice.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 13, 2009 Pours a nice clear amber with a sustained off white head with very nice lacing... Grapefruit scented hops dominate mildly sweet english malts, accentuated by a toffee aroma, though the hop aroma does fade quickly... A quick hit of C hops gives way to a quick hit of the malt followed by a lingering dry finish devoid of a great deal of flavor... Nice beer, but i wish the flavor lingered... watson1977 (273), , Pennsylvania, USA
