| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 31, 2008 A very enjoyable beer. Lots of malty goodness with a relaxed, slighty bitter taste as it slides down the throat. Quite a thick muthful for this style too Butters (1651), Virginia, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Oct 29, 2008 Draft at Flying Saucer. APA aroma is good. But the flavor is unblalanced and has a cloying pine finish. Didn’t care for this too much at all. Beardface (1034), Eugene, Oregon, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 24, 2008 On tap at one of the Eugene brewfests. Very bitter tasting for an American Pale, and with a pine and hop flavor. Very minimal malt flavors which always wins with me. No Old Rasputin, but what is? Solid effort. 502Flavors (621), Louisville, Kentucky, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 24, 2008 12 oz. into shaker. Pours a great hazy amber/copper brown color with a delicious looking rocky light tan/brown head. Great aroma, sticky sappy pine hops with some great grapefruit character too - all with a solid and bold doughy malt backbone. Flavor isn’t quite as good, but is still highly drinkable and very solid. Resinous hops upfront that last a couple seconds into the finish - the malt doesn’t show itself till late in the finish, just as the hops fade. Smooth (though a bit watery) on the palate with very gentle carbonation - light bodied. Overall - beautiful aroma and very solid flavor that could use some enrichment/thickening, but good on the whole. Steely (168), , Sweden
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 23, 2008 Sparkling amber with a creamy tan head that lingers. Rich aroma of bitter fruit, sweet touch of honey and butterscotch. Bitter hoppy flavor. jimmack34 (569), Lancaster, Ohio, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Oct 21, 2008 Awesome! Smells very hoppy and sweet. Pours a rich amber with a thick fluffy head that settles quickly. Tastes hoppy (piney) and bitter, but sweet from the malts. The aftertaste is long lasting and the beer gets better as it warms. Not a beer to drink fast, but drink it slow and enjoy it. movezig (137), Pensacola, Florida, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Oct 19, 2008 Love this one! Red pour some orange. Great sweet malt character. Caramel/raisins. Quite bitter. Very good beer with an awesome mouth feel afterwards that doesn’t let you down. TipsyMcStager (928), Calgary, Alberta, Canada
