That beer really live dup to its Gold Medal status.
Pours golden/orange, white head.
Aroma is hoppy, melon, nice fresh nose, with hints of raspberry.
Taste, superbly hoppy, fruity - melon, citrus finish) sweet, some spices, not a hop bomb, though present, it just remains well balanced and easy to drink.

| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | May 14, 2009 I’m not a hop head... and thus the rating. This is hop hop hoppy! Bitter. Almost like a citrus grapfruit... not earwax like some hopy beers. However for a hop head this is probably top notch. harbuck76 (129), El Cajon, California, USA

Alot of mesquite/earthiness in the finish. Almost a hint of veggie in there. Citrus, caramel, and juicy fruit. Very good. DSG (1513), Tel Aviv, Israel
