| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Dec 1, 2009 Right. A very good hoppy ale. Noticeable hops, especially on the aftertaste. Not bitter. yalnikim (785), Wellington, New Zealand
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 1, 2009 30/11/2009. 12oz bottle, purchased in San Diego and brought back by a friend of a friend in a suitcase. No black or grey market goings on here! Amber, clear, quite drinkable but has a slightly harsh combination of melanoidin toastiness and resinous hops (hop aroma reminds me of "the cousin"). A BIG session beer. cmonster (114), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 29, 2009 Bottle served in an English pint. Hazy dark amber in color with a one-finger light tan head. Sweet malt aroma. Also fruity, maybe blood oranges, and some hops. Light-medium body, soft carbonation, and a creamy mouthfeel. Mildy bitter flavor and finish. CUJO (379), Brooklyn, New York, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 25, 2009 I think I may have actually levitated whilst drinking this brew... maybe I was drunk?! Very solid brew... chewy and thick in taste, lots of roasted malts, the word amber can be used to describe the overall feel. Warm and inviting with some great earthy tones.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 24, 2009 Amber with nice off-white head and decent lacing. Pine aroma, dry hop flavor with a cloying finish. ruskiimperial (78), Richmond, Virginia, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 23, 2009 This pours with a TON of foam that sticks around for up to half an hour. Smell is not very prevalent but there is some hints of citrus. The flavor has a very malty backboen in addition to some decent citrus hoppiness. A very pleasant sessionable beer.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 22, 2009 Poured orangey-amber with a tan head. Light, yeasty aroma. Palate was light as well. Has a mild hops taste with a slight grassiness underneath, As it warms, a grapefruity hops note becomes more noticable. Very nice lighter offering. Oddefellowe (64), Tampa, Florida, USA
