fiulijn (5860), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy Dec 22, 2007 Draught at Hop Leaf, Chicago Golden color; creamy head. The aroma is lightly hoppy and fruity. The mouthfeel is not strong, there is some malt sweetness, and some nice aromatic hopping. Pleasant, but simple. CaptainCougar (4624), Rockville, Maryland, USA Dec 27, 2005 Pours a still, transparent copper amber with a thin-lacing white head. Aroma of nice fresh, piney cascade hops and some mild crystal malt. Body starts with a light caramel sweetness, some nicely balancing fresh piney hops and a hint of citrus. A decent APA but could use some more malt and hops. I’m glad to see Point trying some new styles. hopdog (4525), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 30, 2006 12oz bottle acquired in trade with brewblackhole (thanks!). Poured a lighter and clear orange / amber color with a larger sized off white head. Aromas of citrus, caramel, and lightly floral. Tastes of caramel, toasted malts, and citrus. Thinner body. muzzlehatch (4425), Burlington, Vermont, USA Dec 23, 2004 12 oz bottle in a Gouden Carolus glass. Medium very clear amber with light bubble action, little head with a lasting dusting of foam...aroma is peachy-piney hops, very fresh and piquant ...body is unfortunately less fruity and drier, to the point of being somewhat low-powered, flavorwise...a touch peppery and smoky towards the dry, bitter finish. Decent but I ain’t gonna write no novels about it... Cornfield (4255), Oak Lawn, Illinois, USA Dec 31, 2004 This pours a light reddish-amber with a thin head and some light but steady carbonation. The aroma is a caramel malt with some floral and piney hopping. The taste is a good balance betwween the malt and hops. Nice dry, bitter finish. Nothing great, but a decent drink.
