| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 8, 2009 Bottle thanks to my friends Erin and Chris- A slightly hazed straw liquid sits under a frothy white foam. Lots of spotty lace left behind too. Lots of biscuit and lemony hops in the nose, some pine and floral notes, with some grapefruit. Tastes quite hoppy. Pine and citrus, caramel malts, quite biscuity as well. FInish is hoppy, lemony, quite bitter with marked sweetness to balance. Very good. tiggmtl (4311), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 8, 2009 Leafy lemon citrus hops in the nose with smooth sweet underlying honey-toasted malt character. Hazy deep golden coloured body is topped by a decent fine bubbled white head that recedes to a lasting cover with some lacing. Bitterness is quite strong over a rather dry malt flavour. Citrus and floral notes are apparent in the aftertaste as is some alcohol. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Tulip glass. Cellar temperature. Bottle purchased at Brewery Creek in Jul-09.

The crisp hop flavors have a nice malt backbone as well. Quite bitter finish as well. Light carbonation and a medium body. mgermani (865), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jul 5, 2009 Pours a clear straw-gold with a modest head, dissipating to a thin ring of foam and some nice lacing. Aroma is quite promising; loads of leafy hops and a slight alcohol bite. Taste is... unusual. Starts off great with a nice bitter hoppy bite, opening up into peppery alcohol which burns surprisingly long into the finish, and then an odd sweetness begins to come through, sort of corn-like. Alcohol and bittering hops combine to create a satisfying dry finish, though, which overcomes any awkward malting. Plenty of carbonation and a crisp, thin body. Yum! Aside from that odd malt note, this is a very taste beer, and probably more along the lines of an IPA than anything else. JoeTheYounger (293), California, USA
