| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 21, 2008 22. Pours a slightly hazed burnished coppery dark amber with a thick, sudsy, off-white head. Grapefruity, peppery, wet-leaves-y nose. Interesting combination. Grainy, medium body, soft carb. Biscuit, wet leaves, and earth on the mid-palate, with some resin fiddling around near the finish. This is pretty drinkable. bitbucket (2036), Kirkland, Washington, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 13, 2008 Pale orange pour with an off-white head and minimal lacing. Nose is of citrus and earth. Bitterness of flavor is elaborated by a nice touch of roasted malt and caramel. Mouthfeel is a bit too fizzy for my taste, and the finish is on the light side. alexanderj (2280), Chino Hills, California, USA
