Modest malt aroma with just a little floral hops presence. Hops element is more apparent in the taste accompaning roasted malt. Lightly metallic and bitter aftertaste. mds (2112), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 7, 2005 bottle. copper body with a small, creamy, off-white head. mellow citrus hop aroma with some biscuit/crystal malt in the background. Quite a bit of orange hops in this one which kind of strikes me more as an APA rather than an EPA. there is also a generous bready malt component and a hint of chocolate towards the end. finish is long and bitter. pretty good ryan (1781), Beltsville, Maryland, USA

Aroma is floral with some caramels. Flavor is a good mix of hops and malt, not too strong either way. Finishes with a bit more hops. Texture is smooth, slightly watery. Finish short.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 28, 2005 Aroma of orange hops and chocolate, some good malts too, opaque orange, a long lasting finger of custard head, some pretty lace also. Rich malt flavour, combined with a good helping of citrusy hops, with nutty and woody notes. Very well balanced, beautiful mouthfeel. Terrific! jmuhops (663), Winchester, Virginia, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 23, 2005 Pours orangish-amber with a half-finger off-white head. Slow effervescence. Aroma of soapy hops and bready malts. Very nice malt flavor up front, with a good amount of hop bitterness at the end. Not over the top with either flavor.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 21, 2005 Cloudy copper with minimal off-white head. Aroma leans toward malts, so the hop flavor is a nice surprise. The balance between the malts and hops provides sweet citrus flavor, earthy grains and a bitter aftertaste that is not overpowering. Clean and crisp with a medium body that expanded slightly toward full as the beer warmed. Enjoyable. Cletus (5058), Connecticut, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 11, 2005 Bottle. Orange amber color with little head. Subtle hoppy nose with distinct toaste malt aroma. Flavor follows: subtle grapefruit hop sweetness and tang, with a balanced bitterness and smooth toasted malt finish. A subtle beer all around; well blended and a real delight.
