| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 6, 2007 Let me first start by saying I knew this would be rated under a 3 for being so different. Thanks MikeTD. Golden orange pour, small white head. Aroma of orange and lemon. Flavor is citrus hops, caramel and biscuits. Very leafy bitterness and a big belgian yeast sourness. Lots of belgian funk and more sour yeast note. A Belgian IPA? or as if JP made an IPA. BückDich (4857), McCall, Idaho, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jun 12, 2007 Bottle: Orange color, nice white head and nice lacing. Nose of pale malt and stale grassy hops, some citrus and yeast. The flavor is semi-bitter but unbalanced, a bit grassy, finishes stale, meh. Tinny and lacking dimension.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 11, 2007 Aroma of floral hop with a bit of citrus, backed by a little caramel. Hazy ripe apricot color with a white head that quickly filmed. Starts with floral hop and ripe stone fruit flavors, maybe a citrus bite. Medium body that thins a bit as the moderate carbonation leaves. Overall it’s very good, but there is a earthiness, a dark fruit aspect, that’s unusual. The finish is a bit complex. Really interesting, and quite tasty after one’s initial prejudices are set aside. After awhile I wonder whether there is a tobacco note in there. HopheadHans (755), Bay Area, California, USA
| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Jun 8, 2007 Tap. This one is just bad. No hops flavors to speak off, tastes grainy, watery and just essentially completely off. I have yet to have anything decent from this outfit. jake65 (1725), Williston, North Dakota, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 30, 2007 Bottle: Dusty orange pour with a smaller white head. Nose is floral hops and light citrus, some caramel. Taste is kind of a raw hoppy blend. The floral and the citrus presence is there, but niether really stands out. Thanks BuckDich for sharing. badlizard (2396), Berkeley, California, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | May 22, 2007 650 mL bottle. Hazy dark yellow with short lived fizzy white head. I think I almost vaguely smell hops in the faint aroma. Watery palate. Strange metallic and astrigent taste. DaSilky1 (2033), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 3, 2007 aroma is creamy & caramlized. The appearance is uninspired and the head doesnt last very long. Flavors are well balanced with dried fruit notes. Bitterness nicely balanced by malt sweetness. Easy drinking but forgetable. Nalu (39), Washington, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 17, 2007 22oz bottle: clear gold initially, getting cloudier near the middle and with heavy sediment at the bottom ; short, off-white head and moderate lace. Strong malt and hops - almost barleywine taste (check that 7.5% ABV!), but lighter bodied. A typical organic IPA - just doesn’t match up to mainstream IPAs.
