| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 31, 2009 Sampled from Growler. I never thought I would get a crack at this one! Poured a medium and cloudy amber color wtih a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of citrus (oranges and grapefruits), pine, floral, tangerines, and ’sticky’. Tastes of the same citrus, pine, caramel, and the same stickiness. Nice and hoppy with a malt balance in the taste. Alcohol content hidden. heemer77 (4311), Savannah, Missouri, USA

The aroma was woody with some light grapefruit. The taste was light sweet grains and citrus. There was also some bologna and wood. A thick mouth feel. Decent. cgarvieuk (4215), Edinburgh, Scotland

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jan 8, 2009 Picked up growler at the brewery and shared with the beer gang at Cellars Wine & Spirits. Pours a hazy orange amber brew, some syrup character that brings a thick off-white head that has some nice retention and lots of lacing. As soon as the growler cap was removed I would pick up grapefruit scent even before pouring into the glass. Aroma of grapefruit, some mango, tropical fruit and a hint of golden grain malt. Taste is full bodied, a little syrupy, with flavors of grapefruit zest, mango, a touch of banana, and a little pine. Finish is semi-sweet, mildly bitter with a lingering grapefruit and pine aftertaste. Well worth the hour wait in line. Rciesla (3845), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA

Caramel malt, citrus loads of pine some light grapefruit. Citrus earthy floral hoppiness. To bad it was shared next to pliny the younger, never stood a chance. egajdzis (3638), Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Dec 31, 2008 Growler courtesy of BDR and Tdaglow. Copper color with a medium head. Strong tangerine and orange aroma. Some grassy-ness and lemon. Far stronger caramel malt flavor than I was expecting. Not overly bitter tasting at all. Sweet orange peel. Delicious. Great way to end 2008!
