| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 3, 2009 Compliments of Doboy (Thanks ED !), poured from 12 oz bottle, a nice clear light coppery hue, forming a large foamy head. Aroma of light earthy notes with hops, malts, and spices. Flavour much of the same, as sweet malts dominate and the hops come in to balance out the spring like water. I’m not a fan of the style, but this is very decent EPA, I like it.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 29, 2009 In an imperial pint glass at a hotel in chicago.
Pours a clear, copper color with a full lingering white head that clings to the side of the glass.
Aroma is nice malts well balanced with notes of suble hops.
Well-rounded full mouthfeel but it it is fleeting.
The beer has great malt flavour that unfortunately does not follow through as long as I hoped, the hops were not very pronounced.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 29, 2009 Golden orange, whitish foam. Aroma is citrusy, pine hops, caramel. Taste is more hoppy, bitter pine, spicy finish. lobonator (6), San Juan, Puerto Rico does not count | 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Dec 26, 2009 A nice beer. Aroma promised good things ahead and the beer delivered. Notes of sweet fruit and hops. Appearance was dark amber with lasting head of generous foam. Taste was caramel, hops, candy, and malt. Some slight butterscotch was apparent and possibly purposely so. Biggest factor was the dry palate and high bitterness. Perhaps too much so. This is a bitter beer. Bitterness was somewhat astringent and harsh. Overall, a good beer but be prepared for bitterness. blipp (1738), Newark, New Jersey, USA
