| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 26, 2007 Approximately 1.5 oz. sample at the Grand Tasting of the RateBeer Summer Gathering 2007 in the Twin Cities, MN on July 23, 2007. This was the fourth of 26 beers that I sampled and rated during the tasting. Poured out of a growler. Thanks to maniac for this one. Powerful, very hoppy but not dry (in fact quite sweet) aroma. Apricot and apple crisp scents. Very nice smell. Pours a golden / light amber with a small amount of near white head. The flavor is along the lines of the aroma but much more subdued. Classicly dry hoppy taste, contrasting with the fruit hoppiness of the aroma. Also a hoppy bitter aftertaste. Light to medium body. tennisjoel (947), Shakopee, Minnesota, USA

Citrus and Pine tree hop aroma. Smooth flavor. A little under-carbonated but still a decent brew.
Thanks to the Virginia guys (Immy or Maniac) for bringing this growler.

Oddly enough, the taste does not reflect the lovely aroma. Watery and bitter malt dominate the flavors. jcwattsrugger (5374), Florida and, New Jersey, USA
