| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 11, 2006 Bottle in the bar of the Back Bay Hilton Boston where we stopped Dec 05 there is a fantastic range of bottled beers in this hotel bar. A most attractive label I must say. The beer poured a deep golden ok maybe copper colour with a small head. Plenty of hops in the aroma, hops and grapefruit in the flavour dept and a nice refreshing crisp bite to this beer. Boutip (2397), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 10, 2006 Bottle: Poured a dark brown color ale with a small bubbly off-white head with average retention. Aroma is quite hoppy with a nice floral touch. Taste is also hoppier then expected with a great presence of citrus hops. Body is about average for the style with some low carbonation. wilkie (1192), Raleigh, North Carolina, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 31, 2006 Bottle. Copper colored, medium white head, with nice lacing. Very hoppy, soap aroma, and slightly malty. FLavor is extremely hoppy, with a diverse flavor of hops--citrus, pine, soap, and a grassy aftertaste. Would like a little more body, but this is a good beer. beeryum (652), Norcross, Georgia, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 21, 2006 12 oz bottle. Deep golden beer, thick off-white/yellow head. Sweet citrusy hop aroma, very cascadey. Flavour is well-balanced, grapefruit and a bit of pine but it is backed by a solid toasty sweet malt flavour. A hint of caramel and toffee. Even some very faint chocolate going on. Low to moderate bitterness but decent hop flavour. zach8270 (2131), Henrietta, New York, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 22, 2006 (bottle - 12 oz) Cloudy copper color with a very thin and lasting white head. Bitter aroma with a hint of malt underneath it all. Mostly bitter hops though. Taste begins with a light malty flavor that gives way to a nice and crisp hop bitterness and a nice and smooth bitter finish. The aftertaste is slightly malty with a touch of hops. A little watery, but that’s the only negative thing about this one. Very good. NYHarvey (2154), New York, New York, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 5, 2006 Medium concentration of malts and milder levels of hops. Mild fruit mash notes. Orange/amber color with a pinky thin than head. Smoothe balanced, fruity, malts with a nice hop balance. It’s well put together, but to me lacks any oomph and suffers for it.
