| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Oct 5, 2005 GABF 2005. Hazy gold with a big, white head. Very light pine/grapefruit aroma, some butter in there as well. Lightly bitter flavor, even less malt to mesh with. Rather watery, thin palate. It didn’t work for me.

Maybe a little, but mostly I smell citrusy hops maybe even hop oil. Citrus is there in the flavor, but again not super strong. Great mouthfeel almost thick. I always go back to the porter, but this is a nice break. crizay (1050), Brook Park (was Tampa,FL), Ohio, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 3, 2005 Draft - Deep clear coppery orange, thick creamy white head. Left coast nose predominantly of pine sap, white grapefruit, with a slight hint of sweet caramel. Flavor matched aroma with sharp piney hops leading the charge. It had just enough sweet malt to keep balance. Medium to full bodied, prickly carbonation, drying bitter-sweet finish. Underrated without question....
