| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Sep 24, 2006 Aroma of sweet malt giving way to beautiful floral hops, with some peaches thrown in. Appears a clear golden-age with minimal effervescence and with no head to speak of. Flavor is of grapefruit giving way to a distinctly grainy aftertaste. Palate is medium to medium-light and appropriate. Overall, an okay beer but with signifcant flaws in the flavor and appearance. realale420 (399), west covina, California, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Sep 11, 2006 12oz bottle poured a clear amber/pale color with a nice rocky off white head and wonderful lacing. The aromas were resinous citrus and pine with a nice malt background. The taste had the perfect amount of bitterness to just stand out over the malts without overpowering. A great dry hoppy finish makes you want more and more. Overall another well put together beer from PP. Emil (6074), Copenhagen, Denmark
