Very nice aroma of pine and citrus. Pours cloudy amber with a fluffy head. Flavor is like the aroma and very bitter. Finishes dry crisp and clean. Very good. Duhast500 (218), , Massachusetts, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 2, 2010 Poured from a 22oz. bottle into a stemmed glass.
The color is a cloudy deep orange with quite a bit of foamy brownish white head with some thick lacing left on the glass.
The smell is a bit citrus with a bit of a funky hop flavor to the nose. Some nice earthy flavors are coming out a bit and givinbg this beer a bit of a floral feel.
The taste is pretty citrus flavored with a hint a lime but pretty lemon flavored with some nice rye malt flavor. Some floral hop bitterness but not too strong. A great tasting beer.
The feel is a bit light with some easy drinking hopiness this beer makes for a great well balanced beer.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 1, 2010 22 oz. bottle. Pours a clear orange amber color with a medium off white head. The aroma is citrus and pine hops with some caramel malt sweetness. The flavor has a base off slightly toasted malt and sweeter caramel malt with the same forward citrus and pine hop notes. Mouthfeel is medium-full, finish is on the dry side and bitter. Another fairly solid offering from Hoppin Frog.
