| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 31, 2007 Bottle. Grape, pineapple and pine hops aroma. Hazy orange-brown with minimal head. Sweet orange/pineapple flavor up front with a long lasting pine hops finish. Nice balance - neither the sweetness nor the hops were overpowering. A great barleywine for hops lovers.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 29, 2007 Thanks to Joebrew for sharing. Dark amber body with minimal head. Sweet nose with some tea and caramel in the body. Sweet malt flavor. JK (2967), Richfield, Minnesota, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | May 29, 2007 I thought this was an ipa before I starting drinking. There is a great floral hop aroma. Very little carbonation, and a dark gold color. Flavor has flowery hops like a pale ale, but there is also sweet caramel malt flavor and fruit. Thick and full on the palate. Excellent beer.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 29, 2007 From a 22 -oz bottle pours a mahogany/dark red nrew with a pinkish tan head. Aroma of fruity dark fruit, iced tea, pear, rasins, grapefruit and caramel. Taste is full body, thick and sweet with low carbonation. Finish is sweet bitter, a slight grapefruit aftertaste with high alcohol warmth. RCL (1496), Waltham, Massachusetts, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | May 28, 2007 The hops make this taste like a glass of grapefruit juice into which someone has put a sprig of pine bough as a swizzle stick. But in a good way. DMRz (230), Durham, North Carolina, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 28, 2007 Medium reddish color with virtually no head. Flavors are of orange peel, sweet malt, and a touch of alcohol. The flavor starts of sweet and fruity but ends almost too bitter with intense hops and alcohol. If it was balanced better I would have enjoyed this much more... Overall it is good but surely not worth the price - worth trying once but still a bit much. riversideAK (2792), Shoreline, Washington, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 25, 2007 An aroma blast of molasses, dried fruit, pine, alcohol, cinnamon, and more. Pours a ruddy reddish orange with a small off white head. Flavor is mostly a malt explosion. Dried fruit, heavy syruppy molasses, then a nice piney hoppiness. Heavy dry mouthfeel, sweet and coaty. This is a complex brew. This is a nice brew. It better be since I spent $24 on it. Three Floyds in your face! hopslovin (181), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA
