| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 20, 2009 Tap at Barcade. Hazy golden-orange beer. The aroma is lightly hoppy. Sort of a light sweet orange and a bit of piny hoppiness as well. The flavour is lightly hoppy with a bit of sweet honey and some fairly unusual orangey cascadey type hops... there’s a bit of vegetal/herbal character in addition to the orange citrus that is a bit more typical. It’s a bit thin. Meh. Tmoney99 (4742), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

Poured a cloudy copper color with an average frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate resin and earthy aroma. Medium to full body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium to heavy spicy bittersweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration.
This is a standout beer. Lubiere (4528), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
