| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 24, 2009 On tap. The beer pours out a clear medium amber/copper color with a tight off-white head. Aroma is light grapefruit, some caramel. Flavor has a non-offensive blend of sweet malt and bitter hops, although they seem a bit undefinted. Easy to drink. Kinda forgettable though. anders37 (4636), Malmö, Sweden

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 5, 2008 Poured from tap at brewery a brown-amber with small off-white head. Aromas is big with floral hoppiness which gives off lemony-orange citrus notes. Flavor is much the same with floral hops, lemon, orange, and gratefruit together with a bready caramel all ending a lingering citrus peel bitterness. The palate is slightly sticky sweet with a good balance of sweet to bitter although the two seem a bit disjointed at times. Overall, good flavor and balance, a nice beer I’d drink again. pinkzambia (989), Boise, Idaho, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Mar 26, 2008 Tap @ brewpub: Clear, dark amber color with a small off-white head and sticky lacing. Mild hop aroma with a definite hop presence in the taste. The bitter flavor that follows is of the unpleasant hairspray variety. At least it has a smooth feel. kp (8399), Woodstock, Georgia, USA
