| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Dec 22, 2009 Bottle: Poured a bright amber color ale with a relatively small foamy head with average retention and not much lacing. Aroma of citrus hops is not bad but pretty standard compared to some other West Coats hop bomb. Taste is also dominated by loads of citrus and piney hops and a medium caramel malt backbone. Not the most interesting beer out there. TampaBeer (194), Tampa, Florida, USA

What does that have to do with ANYTHING?

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 14, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a very deep mahogany colored body with a finger-width, very creamy, tan head that dissipates slowly and leaves a good amount of lacing. Aroma is really nice. Plenty of rich caramels, lightly toasted toffees, berry fruits, dates, citrusy pines, fig newtons, some florals, and a light resin. Sweet, chewy, rich, fruity, and hoppy. Flavor is rich, caramel malts up front with lots of citrusy hops. More cherry-prune fruits, deeper dates, and lightly toasted toffees come in during the middle along with some burnt brown sugar and molasses. Finishes sweet with plenty of citrus hops along with plenty of dates, malts, and lightly roasted grains. Light to moderate bitterness, mostly dry, and a moderate to lengthy aftertaste leaning more towards the toasted, roasty toffees and citrusy hops. Medium bodied with a light carbonation. Overall, I liked this one a lot. Fairly complex flavors with sweet, hoppy, and slightly toasty characteristics make this quite enjoyable. Nice balance and very tasty. philbertk (166), Seattle, Washington, USA

Aroma is really floral hops with a good caramel malt note. Flavor is really mice and hoppy with a sweet malt under tone. Almost reminds me a little of a sweet double ipa. Good beer though. Very nice.
