| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 19, 2009 On tap @ the brewpub. The chalkboard lists this @ 7.1%. Clear golden amber with one finger fading off-white head. Aroma of citrus, sweat, and a bit of mango and light caramel malts--not very strong, and as nice as it sounds, merely OK. Flavor turns the malts slightly biscuity and earthy, and the hops turn slightly piny with the citrus. Bitterness peaked @ a 4 in the dirty dry finish. Moderate carbonation with a medium body. Decent at best. anders37 (4796), Malmö, Sweden

Has a malty hoppy aroma with some hints of grapefruit. Malty hoppy bitter pine needles flavor with some hints of grapefruit.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 3, 2009 Tap at the brewpub. The deep gold body had a thin off white head on top. grapefruit and peanuts were balanced by some malty bread crust in the aroma. A taste of bitter grapefruit was balanced with almonds and hints of pine resin. Decent overall. Nik925 (305), California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 7, 2008 Strong hop presence. Good bitter, but one of the hops was a weird choice and does not sit well with the other flavors. Totally decent but nothing special. fakepurseninja (797), Washington, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 23, 2008 Clear, pale straw body that was suprisingly full-bodied. Very floral with a british malt character. Dry with light grapefruit notes. Braudog (3788), Dayton, Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 14, 2008 Draft at the brewpub. Same exact color as the cast pale ale, bronze-red. Thin top. Nice orange blossom aroma. Thick and viscuous, this borders on a DIPA/IPA with a body-builder’s physique of a beer and a rich, malty punch. Advertised the day I was there as 7.1% ABV.
