| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Mar 11, 2009 12oz bottle, notched on June from Sparky27--thanks Eric. Overcarbonated as hell, a slow foam over out of the bottle. Clear effervescent golden with a three finger rocky off-white head, great retention--it should be noted I only poured 2/3 of the bottle. Fresh piny hops--not resiny--and some caramel hops are dominant. There is also a hint of tang--infection? Infection--flavor is quite a bit tangier and I echo daknoles burnt plastic/candle note. Semi-dry with bitterness around a 3. Light body with high carbonation. Not so good--the aroma was alright though. daknole (3032), Scottsdale, Arizona, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Mar 9, 2009 A bonus from turdferguson. Thanks!! Pours a copper color. Small whtie head. Aroma is malty, with some hops, caramel and some odd burned plastic in the smell. Flavor is bitter and has a weird metal/plastic flavor. Very very odd. And not all too pleasing. tronraner (1939), Seymour, Tennessee, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jan 3, 2009 12 oz bottle courtesy cbkshubert. Pours hazy brass with sticky off white head. The aroma is very herbal and kind of reminds me of hot tea, and there is a woody toasted malt tone behind the herbs. The flavor is toast, tea, and water. Pretty weak stuff. It dries a little in the finish into a pleasant earthy hoppiness, but it is too little too late. Sparky27 (1642), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 13, 2008 Bottle. Pours a murky gold with lots of floaters and a 2 finger fluffy white head with chunky lacing. Nose is earthy hops and malt. Taste is malt and grass with a sweet and sour astringent finish. Lighter mouth feel. Not that great. fordest (1954), Santee/San Diego, California, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Sep 18, 2008 Draft at the brewery. This started out pretty decent with some roasty malted aromas along with citrusy hops. Flavor went quickly downhill as it was all bitter, somewhat watery, and really a touch of metallic. Not a big fan. KimJohansen (7303), Copenhagen V, Denmark
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 7, 2008 Clear amber with medium off white head. Mild hoppy aroma with caramel and citric notes. Hoppy flavor with grapefruit and caramel. Ends bitter. skoisirius (587), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Sep 2, 2008 Bottle picked up in Tucson. Light orange red color with a thin head. Faint aroma of watery hops, light malts, and faint sour roast. Flavor is bland, somewhat watery, but what is there is a medium bodied malt base with a lightly hopped reddish ale finish. Boring, and not very flavorful whatsoever. fonefan (11929), VestJylland, Denmark
