| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 8, 2008 Bottle. Pours clear gold with a white head. Fresh hoppy aroma with malt undertones. Very well balanced. The flavor also has very fresh floral hops and good balancing malt. Outrageously drinkable. Very nice. scottw86 (184), Maryland, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 1, 2008 Poured a hazy yellow/orange with a large foamy head. Aroma was very sweet with fruity notes. Also yeast and peaches. Taste was sweet with grapefruits. Finish was slightly bitter. Balance is good, very smooth. Definitely an interesting brew. Worth a try. craftycarl21 (563), South Hero, Vermont, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 30, 2008 Pours a murky apricot color with mediocre head. Aroma has definite citrus and strawberry, but also with a biting spice, perhaps clove, and some definite acidity. Palate is very light, flavor similar to the aroma. Interesting and good beer. oteyj (779), Canterbury, New Hampshire, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 29, 2008 Light cloudy amber with sizeable white head. Aroma is loaded with citrus, light fruit, and yeasty spice. Flavor is light but citrusy- some sugary qualities but somewhat overshadowed by its mild astringent qualities. Balance is not bad- medium carbonation with smooth finish. Nice byt not exceptional. CaryTheDude (1113), Longmont, Colorado, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 26, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. Lots of apricot and grapefruit on the nose. Flavor is a whole different world: lots of awesome hops. Very nice ale. Great success. Beardface (1036), Eugene, Oregon, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 20, 2008 Worst HotD beer ever! A light yellow pour with a big white head and the smell of yeast and a little fruit. Tastes like fruit and caramel with a light hop backing. Not awful for the style, but still very underwhelming considering how much I love their other brews. Rciesla (3777), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 29, 2008 Bottle. Pours a golden hazy blonde body with 2 finger head. Sweet malty with notes of apple and light citrus. Lemon zest and light floral flavors. tgncc (838), Bellmore, New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 26, 2008 Updated: Mar 16, 2009Aroma is interesting and unexpected. Caramel and candy sweetness, and a little grapefruit hoppiness thrown in. A little bit of baked bread also. Very interesting. The appearance is indistinguishable from a pilsener, straw gold with a white head. The flavor is a surprise as well, a mix of candy sugar, caramel, fruit, slight citrus. The finish starts sweet, and segues nicely into a citrusy hoppy finish, which lingers nicely. I was expecting a variation of a pilsener, but I was truly surprised.
