| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 18, 2007 Updated: Jul 19, 2007Draft @ Royersford & Growler from same. Amber color with a medium white head. Pleasant floral-earthen hop aroma with some caramel malts. Flavor has a nice earthy-hop taste mixed with some caramel malts, herbs, and just a bit of light fruit sweetness. Solid IPA with a tasty English hop varietal. Well done.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 16, 2007 On tap at Royersford. Pours a lightly hazy golden amber with a medium size creamy/lacing head. Aroma was floral, caramel, mixed citrus and some earthiness. Flavor was very earthy with some pine, grapefruit and on the yeasty side. Getting some caramel malt in there to balance. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 16, 2007 Draft. Deep copper pour with aroma of heavy hops, caramel malt, citrus, some peppery and fruit notes. I’d agree that there is a solid caramel malt and hoppy/citric flavor here, but it seems to be a tiny bit more run-of-the-mill flavor-wise than the other styles. michael-pollack (2693), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 14, 2007 Draught at Phoenixville: Aroma was somewhat faint. Hoppy with notes of resin. Poured amber in color with a medium off-white head. Clear. Not sparkling. Flavor was heavily bitter. Tastes of grapefruit, strawberry, and caramel malts. A little earthy. Medium body. Dry texture. Average carbonation. Dry finish. Overall, nice and bitter, but lacking a little flavor.
