| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 27, 2004 Had this after a Ding Ding. IMO the Ding Ding is much better. Aroma on this is fruity but not as much as the DD. Has some smoke to it. This has a lot of malt backbone but is not sweet. Eyedrinkale (3209), Astoria, New York, USA

Nice light orange pour with beautiful fruit aromas. Hoppy and sweet. Great work, Tom. 21iceman40 (1731), vienna, West Virginia, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 8, 2004 Tom's beer. Has a dark amber with a hint of reddish in the color. Has a small almost white head on it. Has a thick grapefruit hopped feel to it, ya, thats it. Best thing oggi's has ever made by far, what would be cool is if they would actually have it on tap at oggi's. egajdzis (3629), Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA
