| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 25, 2007 Hazy yellow-amber color. Citrus and lemongrass aromas, along with hints of roasted malts. Strong hop flavor with citrus. Bitter yet refreshing, because of a nice clean finish. This is good. I think their XXX Pale Ale builds on this with a more extreme hop flavor, though. goldtwins (4084), Nesconset, New York, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 1, 2007 Tap @ Mountain sun: Poured a hazy deep amber color with an off-white head. The hoppy aroma was citrusy and fresh. Some grassy notes as well. The malt in the aroma was strong enough to give balance. Sweet with some fruitiness. Malty and nutty flavor with some citrus running through the middle. Light body that drys out a bit. Mild to modderate bitterness. CaptainCougar (5530), Rockville, Maryland, USA

Aroma of slightly toasty and grainy malts with a touch of grapefruity hops. Body starts pretty fresh and citrusy hoppy with good toasty caramel maltiness throughout toward a crisp, very drinkable bittersweet finish. kp (8500), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Sep 22, 2007 Very cloudy light to med. orange in color. Smells quite malty and sweet with hints a caramel and a slight american hoppiness. The flavor is unbalanced in favor of a strong hop bitterness with alot of citrus. Very tasty though. rmussman (906), California, USA
