| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 12, 2009 Bottle. Pours redish amber with huge white head and good lacing. Slight chill haze. Nice earth aroma with a somewhat peculiar minty tang. The earth is almost starchy like fresh cut potatoes. Then comes a nice deep fruity aroma of apricots and orange juice. The flavor is assertively bitter up front, but balances by sweet and roasted malt and finishes with a piney and grapey bitternes. patrickfannon (370), Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, USA

Hoppy aroma, with hints of tea, pepper, wheat, barley, and malts. Full body with a crisp, tight finish. Excellent IPA. burpfrank (292), carpinteria, California, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 4, 2009 pours amber with nice dense white head that left decent lacing. Faint hop aroma, citrus and pine. Nice crisp hop bitterness, a bit astringent, grassy and a bit green. Malt provides just a hit of balance, this is mostly hops in the flavor and body is average. A nice clean brew, atypical using ’southern’ hops. DuffMan (2769), the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, Canada

Plalte is a nice balance between sweet toffee malts and big citrus, resin, and flowery hop flavours. Delicious!
