| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Oct 5, 2004 2004 draught @ Barfly in Rochester, NY. Pours a pale whiteish-yellow with some light copper tinges. Small white head. Aroma of tons of floral hops, light pale malt. Flavor is hoppy, but not hugely bitter, with a smattering of lightly sweet malt to round things out. As it warms, more honey/caramel tones appear, and the hops gain some citrus. The body, which was a solid medium, with very lively carbonation was perhaps the best part; it didnt die a watery death. Flavor seems pretty average, at least pretty fresh as well. jasonp (1513), Sterling/Dulles, Virginia, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 4, 2004 Pours copper with a quickly disappearing head. Aroma is lightly malty and floral. Taste is moderately sweet with notes of grapefruit, citrus and a medium dose of hops. The commercial description of this brew had me expecting a big PacNW hop character but it was pretty subdued. Somewhat of a bitter metallic aftertaste. Starts off with overly aggressive carbonation which mellows out over a a few minutes. Overall, not bad but not great either.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 26, 2004 Bottle pours golden, small frothy white head that settles to a dishwater like film, fairly attractive lacing, with subtle carbonation. Straight forward hops on the nose. Quite grainy on first sip. No real hop bite that I had in the aroma. Medium body, not quite medium mouthfeel. Finishes rather flat, not very crisp, with only a minor hop tinge but mostly grains.
