| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 16, 2007 Bottle, 1 pint. Thanks to Scheffel at OHBL meeting. The beer pours nice clear ambercolored, with an off-white head. The aroma is fresh and hoppy. The flavor is with lots of hops, notes of grass and grapefruit. The mouthfeel is balanced and the overall impression of the beer is above average to good. sunevdj (1784), Copenhagen OE, Denmark
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 16, 2007 Pours a clear amber with an off-white head. Dry with a caramellike sweetness. Lots of hops, but not totally teeth-kicking. Slightly grassy with pinks grapefruit notes. Medium bodied. Medium carbonation. Long dry hoppy finish. Nice hops-profile. bp (458), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 15, 2007 Draft: pours a golden amber color with a frothy white head, aroma is hoppy with a little spice, flavor is all hops with a bitter finish, this is a good brew but it is also just another hop bomb. I much prefer the Victory Hop Wallop. chef201atc (249), Weatherford, Texas, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Dec 15, 2007 Nice, fairly clear deep copper caramel-like color, topped with a dense, foamy, lasting off-white head. Nose is just heaven, intense floral, grassy, citrusy hop aroma. Enough malty backbone to balance. Smooth and ever so slightly chewy mouthfeel with soft, moderate carbonation. Wonderful hop flavor – citrusy grapefruit. Nice bitter finish. Nicely done pale ale, wish I could drink this year round. corby112 (756), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 10, 2007 Pours a golden amber with a large white frothy head. Pleasant aroma dominated by hops. Very smooth drinking with a nice amount of hoppiness. A nice combination of a pale ale and an IPA. madcow75 (425), Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 10, 2007 Bottle. Pours amber with a frothy off white head. Aroma of pine, grass and spice rounded out with a little caramel. Taste is citrus hops and some grass. Medium body and a little bitter finish. I was expecting a little more from this, ws somewhat muted from what I thought. Still good though. trokini (1027), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 10, 2007 Amber pour with a fairly large off-white head. Clean pine aroma with grass. Bitter, resiny taste, but without the stickiness. Malt, orange peel, vanilla, and oak all make up the background. A very refreshing APA. ilovedarkbeer (1366), Dallas, Texas, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Dec 10, 2007 Although it is an APA it is a weak representation of style. Hops are too weak and the taste is lacking in the amount of hops that I like. There is a bit of a nutty toffee like flavor but the body is weak and watery. Decent but nothing great.
