| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Dec 23, 2007 Pours a murky orange. Smells of sweetness. Fruity with a hint of hops. The sweetness is almost misleading to its taste which is more hoppy than sweet. It’s bitterness is balanced for the most part. Cybercat (818), Georgia, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Dec 21, 2007 Aroma is very strong and apply, more like a cider than an ale, but with a strong hop undertone. Color is transparent orangy amber, and the head is fairly thick and persistent. Flavor is very hoppy, with just the right amount of bitterness so you taste it but you don’t feel as it it is assaulting your tongue. Very smooth, an ale to be sipped and contemplated. jarspag (600), Los Angeles, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 21, 2007 22 oz. bomber. Opaque golden...thin white head. Aroma and flavor was subtle, smooth, and mostly consisted of pine, citrus, a touch of butter. Enjoyable. Reminiscent of the 9th anniversary from Stone, but a notch below. gotohelunc (476), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 21, 2007 Bomber. Light straw color with a soapy white head. Smells of lemons, grass, straw, and citrus. Tastes of grapefruit, lemon, banana, and orange with just a hint of peppery spice. There’s even a bit of sourness to it. None of the flavors are that strong, and it is very easy to drink, aside from a bit of alcoholic burn on the finish. To me, it really tastes more like an Imperial Hefe than an IPA, which isn’t to say it’s bad, it just isn’t what I’d expect out of a big IPA. BeerBlockaid (548), Jacksonville, Florida, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 20, 2007 Clear crystal like pour, semi orange and copper. Nice playful head and lacing. Floral hops with a twist of citrus lurks around. Some medicinal notes, but nothing huge. Lots of pine and grapefruit opens on the warm end. Malts play around after the initial bite. madsberg (5056), Søborg, Denmark

Flowers, some sweetness, elder and light caramel in the aroma. Flavour is full of citrus and elder. Has hergbal and piney notes. Quite smooth and very well balanced. Medium to full bodied. Qutie dry.
