| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 17, 2009 Poured a nice amber color with a dense, almost creamy off-white head. Good lacing. Nice aroma of citrus comes forth at the onset. Finds good balance between the citrus and some piney hops and light sweetness. The flavor is equally well balanced between citrus, pine, light peppery spice and caramel sweetness. Easy drinking mouthfeel. Pretty good. BrianHagmeier (257), Coralville, Iowa, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 31, 2009 Sampled at the Summit tasting at Blacklick Wine & Spirits on 5/14/09. Cloudy amber color with a medium beige head. Clean and crisp hop aroma with a good malt balance. Flavor is mostly malt and very weak on the hop. A letdown after the aroma was somewhat promising.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 5/5 | 12/20 | May 30, 2009 Dark golden, slightly hazy, with a medium off-white pillowy head that is partially diminishing. Rich caramel nose, some moderate spruce, mild chocolate malts and the slightest roast. Flavor is mildly sweet initially, turning mild-to-moderately bitter. Very fine carbonation works fantastically. Finish is a touch cardboardy and only here could I detect any graininess. Solid. JoeMcPhee (5025), Jackson Heights, New York, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 29, 2009 Tap at MSP airport. Pale golden beer with a creamy white head. Aroma is a bit unusual. Sort of fruity with loads and loads of sweet apricot and light apple notes. Not really cidery though, just fruity. Light-bodied beer with a touch of sweet pale malt and a very light hoppiness. Apricot flavour on the back. I could see this being fairly appealing during the summer, but it’s a bit lighter and fruitier than I generally prefer.
