| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 20, 2009 Just a hair below my favorite Dogfish Head 120 minute. Wonderful pine malt aroma. So well balanced they bot stand out. Reddish brown pour with a small head. Flavor is incredible. Very piney, citrusy up front but very well balanced with a malt backbone. Finishes very dry and crisp. One of the best out there. garthicus (1309), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Dark cherry brown, with a beautiful frothy tanned head. Aroma: Sweet, sweet hops, delicious, vanilla, toffee, mango and lemons. Delicious. Flavour: Sweet bitter hops, really attacked my taste buds, sharp, malty as all hell, lots of citrus and pine, fantastic hop hit. Just what I needed as the last drink of our thirsty Thursday tastings... Yum. Oh - alcohol too. SkateSRT8 (13), Bristol, Rhode Island, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 19, 2009 Pours to an nice initial thick head. Pungent aroma of citrus hops and heavy malts. Tasty trace amounts of oak flavors. The citrus hop flavoring adds to a well bodied all around taste. Moderate lacing through the glass. Overall a great tasting beer I much enjoyed. emerica56 (585), Bristol, Rhode Island, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 19, 2009 Pours a cloudy amber color with a redish tint and some orange on the rim. there is a thick off white head initially but it fades rather quick, and leaves spots along the sides of the glass. The nose is robust and full of citrus hops and a malty finish. There is a lot going on in the flavor, it has a nice big bite to the tongue initially and as the beer slides down your throat the robust flavor does not fade at all. You can really taste the oak on the sides of your mouth. Overall it has great carbonation and a lot of hop flavor and the booze is well masked. Scouser (41), Pennsylvania, USA

Hops kick ur ass at first but then the maltiness takes hold. Over not bad, not bad at all! fonefan (11885), VestJylland, Denmark
