| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Sep 27, 2009 Not much aroma. Great red-orange color. Head is very intriguing. Hops, grains and fruit. Flavor is also fruity, then hoppy, then grainy. Good stuff. TheGrandMaster (1868), Auckland, New Zealand
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 25, 2009 Bottle (in NZ), pouring a light amber with a filmy off-white head. Toffee malt at first on the nose, and then some floral piney hops. Toffee malt again on the palate, though a bit grainy. But then very bitter, belying its 40 IBUs. Lacks a bit of balance for me.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 3, 2009 Clear amber with a light tan head. Mild floral hop aromas with grainy malts.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 17, 2009 Bomber. Orange pour with some initial chill haze, lacy off-white head. Citrus, cookie dough and flowers aroma. Medium body and light carbonation. Peachy bread and toffee taste with an earthy bitter finish with just a bit of lingering soap. killjoy966 (223), Washington, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 5, 2009 Pours a semi-hazy orange-like color with a teeny, tiny head. Smells kind of weird, sort of sweet and sour. Tastes lovingly hopped as all the Ninkasi beers seem to but only the bitterness is detectable. Slight toffee/caramel peaks through the astringency, but at the end, all I’m left with is an oil slick bitterness. robforbes (1099), Bremerton, Washington, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 1, 2009 pours a semi-hazy amber-orange with a small off-white head, and good lacing.
smell is of sweet toffee, a little pepper, some floral, and dry leaves.
taste is of sweet grain, a little corn, some wheat, and hops in the back, ends dry and slightly bitter.
