| 1.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Dec 27, 2009 Bottle from Cavie. Smells like Christmas trees. I’m not a fan of a lot of Hops, and the hops are very prevalant. A slight musk smell is also noticed. harrisoni (6927), Ashford, Kent, England

Clear deep golden colour. Rich hop-induced foam. Sweet malty aroma with rich floral notes from hops. Smooth mouthfeel with mild maltiness, whereas the hop flavour is grassy with traces of citrus. Pretty bitter for the APA style. ghawener (966), San Salvador, El Salvador

Great brew! Food Pairing: Went very well with the delicious sushi. Hopper (336), San Antonio, Texas, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 21, 2009 A golden brown beer with a nice head. The aroma is grassy hops(though most of it has faded at this point) with some slight citrus. The taste is very smooth & great sessionable drinking. Nice lacing. My only complaint is not with the beer (but the distributor) it took 2.5 months for this fresh hop beer to make it on the shelf in my town. So a beer meant to be drank as soon as possible in a 3 month period was at the end of its fresh hop prime when it was put on the shelf. This is a great beer when drank fresh, but still good when not fresh just not what it is supposed to be. rcasta (491), El Salvador

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 18, 2009 Bottle, 65cl - Clear amber golden beer with a large head. Aroma is fruity with notes of pine, citrus, hops and some caramel. Flavor is fruity with notes of grass, citrus and hops. Hop juice in short. Insanely drinkable. jjuf1853 (480), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 17, 2009 Draft at International Beer Garden (Lutz, FL). Pours an orangish gold color with a huge white head. Looks delicious with tons of lacing running down the inside of the glass. Heavily hopped aroma and flavor. Very nice bitterness in the finish with a slightly dry aftertaste. Quite good.
