Bottle@Home. Very fruity aroma, pineapple, peach, grapefruit and grassy when warming up. Dark yellow/golden color, off-white head, good lace. Sweet, bitter, fruity, grapefruit, grassy, paracetamol in the finish. Light sticky, light dry finish. Very typical flavor.

Bomber from South Bay. Fairly dark orange in color. Strong peppery citric hop aroma. Slightly sweet up front. Hop character is somewhat peppery and dry. Good hop character.

Deep blond color, huge foam, persistent perlage. The aroma is hoppy, dry, resiny, with some malt mellow note. Medium body strength, almost all the flavor comes from the hops; some malt is noticeable later, but the hop oils win all. I’m surprised by the big quantity of yeast in the bottle, that spoils a bit the taste of the last glass. Unbalanced.

Mellon orange color. Lighter than expected with sparce white creamy bubbles. Aroma is different. Plenty of fruit and some alcohol. Very interesting, unique. Pretty good.

Bottle thanks to wohlfs, tasted on 5/1/06: Pours a transparent copper orange with a nicely-lacing thin wispy white head. Fresh piney hoppy, lightly grapefruity aroma has good pale malty character with a touch of toasty caramel. Good fresh piney and grapefruity flavor hops mesh well with a touch of sweet caramel malt. Pretty well-balanced, but the body could be a little thicker, though I like the hop character throughout.

Cloudy, light orange. Very piney & citrusy aroma, perhaps even a touch of Tang (the Astronaut’s drink) in there. Big hops at first, very little malt presence, it seems. Juicy grapefruit flavors in a slightly thin body (which works in the beer). Maybe some malt flavors at the end.

KP’s Fest. Pours a cloudy murky yellowish gold with a fluffy white head. Aroma is resiny citrus hops, cascades, centennial citrus and light pine. Thick and sweet malt profile, lots of bready pale malts and some light crystal balanced with a nice strong hoppy finish. Good bitterness. Overall seemed a bit yeasty and dirty.

Poured a hazy orange amber color with a thin off-white head. Big piney, grassy and soapy hop aroma. Alcohol notes present. The hop flavor almost completely covered the malt. I would have liked a little more sweetness. Peppery, spicy and bitter finish. The body was a little light.
