| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Oct 24, 2009 0.7 l bottle at Stockholm Beer Festival 2009 (12th release Harvest 2008). Hazy amber color. Good flowery and lemony hop aroma. Juicy and flowery hop flavor with notes of berries as firm yet smooth bitterness. Very smooth, drinkable and moreish. brenn79 (178), Idaho, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Oct 23, 2009 24 oz. 13th release bottle- Let me start off by saying that the 12th release of this wet hop ale was one of the best IPA’s I’ve ever had, and this one although not quite as good is still quite spectacular. Pours amber with a head that disspates eventually. The Estate Harvest is next, we will see which one triumphs, the local one or the wet one Daniel son. rman18 (201), South Amboy, New Jersey, USA

Leaves a nice lacing on the glass. Citrus and pine aroma. Taste is classic ipa, very piney and citrus. Well balanced though the hops domintate the flavor. Texture is medium, pretty smooth, easy to drink. Overall a nice IPA. brewski519 (409), Morrisville, North Carolina, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 19, 2009 24 oz. Bottle of 13th release. Poured a copper color with a thick white head. Aroma of citrus and hops - and then more hops. Taste was a hoppy, citrusy, piney, spicing combination - with the bitterness off the chart. I really enjoyed this beer as did the other people I shared it with that enjoy really hoppy beers - but there were a couple that just couldn’t get past the bitterness. I loved it though. hotstuff (3175), Indiana, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 18, 2009 Draft. Small head with good retention, transparent orange body, no visible carbonation, and a good amount of lacing. The aroma was citrus and pine hops, sweet, and spicy. The flavor was caramel malt, citrus and pine hops. The mouthfeel was fairly smooth and this is a medium bodied IPA. This beer has a very distinct citrus and pine hop presence which lingers for a while, but at the same time the hoppy taste is not not overly done. This beer has a nice aroma/flavor balance and it is worthy of a try. Hangover (768), Atlanta, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 18, 2009 Nice copper pour with a pretty big white head. Lots of hop aroma... pine, citrus and floral. Mouthfeel is full and resinous. Hop flavors abound, with a nice sticky-sweet malt backbone. Really a brew that showcases hops but isn’t overwhelming and is quite drinkable for a bit high abv.
