| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 21, 2005 Golden hazy body with a thick fluffy white head and decent lacing. Aroma is sweet with summer citrus. Taste is bready, sweet and spicy with a moderate hoppy finish and more spice. One of the less interesting Lagunitas brews that I’ve tried.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 12, 2005 Head is initially small, frothy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is hazy dark yellow, bottle conditioned. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), moderately hoppy (lemon, grapefruit, resin), lightly yeasty (cobwebs). Flavor is moderately sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, moderately sweet, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation, lightly alcoholic. Nice enough, but not that interesting. aspidites (1274), manteca, California, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Mar 11, 2005 Big hop nose citrus and floral. some bubblegum and tasted crackers on the palate. nice and drinkable beer but that is all. Aubrey (2777), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 4, 2005 Pale yellow-orange hue. Body was much thinner than I anticipated. Malts had crackers, multi-grained bread, and caramel. Hops were kind of drying, with elements of pine, citrus ... orange and a little grapefruit. Overall, not bad by any means, but it was underwhelming ... and not as exciting as I expected. Crosling (1854), Loveland, Colorado, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 30, 2005 Light peach. Smallish head. Lightly toasted malt, caramel, with an abundance of citrus and grapefruit like hops in the nose. Sharp hop flavors with hints of orange, lemon peel and mild grapefruit, along with the malt, which shows a bit of biscuits, fruits and bread. Rich and enjoyable hop flavor and overal, this is average. TAR (2093), Boulder Co., Colorado, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 7, 2004 Speckled pumpkin. Dense, rocky off-white head. Interesting aroma of spoiled orange peels, leafy hops, lightly toasted malt, and peachy esters. Hints of graham, bubblegum, and phenols. Soft and creamy carbonation with a watery-edged body. Sharp flavors of orange rind are somewhat rounded by touches of powdery pale malt textures and the soft body. Really mushy and undefined in the center with unpleasant dried citrus peel bitterness overwhelming the subtle maltiness. Closes just as blandly as when it started, with miniscule leafy hop presence and leathery yeast astringency. Faint graham and caramel in the aftertaste helps to lessen the spoiled aspects, but fail to salvage the flavor, as a whole. Very unappealing, especially for an anniversary brew.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 4, 2004 Pours out amber with an off-white head. Aroma was fruity, mostly citrus. Some spice notes. SMooth and silky in the mouth. Lively carbonated. Flavor was a refreshing citrus and spice blend. Quite good. Slick (1962), Thief River Falls, Minnesota, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 22, 2004 Nice copper/orange color,small off white head that lasted for a a decent time then faded to a small lace.The aroma was Light malt,semi sweet and hoppy with the usual grapefruit and maybe even a slight pine note coming on as it warms up.Malty semi bitter taste with a decent hop presence some grapefruit and maybe just a hint of some spice but i could be wrong on that one.Very nice brew and well worth haveing again.Thanks go to Flipbrewer for sending this brew my way.
