| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 21, 2008 On tap at Papago: Pours to a clear light amber body with a small, bubbly eggshell colored head. The aroma gives off caramel malt, mild apples, slight hint of pear, and a light fruity grapefruit hops. Taste is initally sweet light caramel, which is quickly taken over by grassy, bitter, grapefruit bright & fresh hops, which lead to a very slight alcohol flavor, but only if held in the mouth for longer than normal. Finishes with some sticky sweet residual sugar, caramel, and a lingering grassy grapefruit hops bitterness on the sides of the tongue. Medium bodied, medium carbonation, hard to believe this is only 50 IBU’s, according to the description - my taste buds put it closer to 80.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Sep 25, 2009 Draft @ St. James Infirmary. Pours a slightly hazy, orange-amber color; off-white head with solid lacing. Solid amounts of breadiness and earthy bitterness in the aroma; a bit resigned, honestly, with some crackers and biscuity notes . Medium-to-full mouthfeel: loads of chewy, earthy bitterness, fruitiness (hard candy) and oranges; a touch astringent in the hop profile, and the carbonation is a bit off-putting; generous, chewy, with rough edges. Medium finish: chewy, cherry pits, dried oranges, and lasting bitterness. raphael (415), Portland, Oregon, USA
