| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 21, 2009 Bottle thanks to StFun, thanks man. Pours a clear crimson with a large tanned beige head. Loads of citrus hops, with a predominant pineapple note, backed up with a little bit of toasty malt and caramel. Thick, slightly sweet, with a nice clean malt note. Finishes with a little bit of honey, and a nice light bitterness. Surprisingly refreshing for such a big hoppy aroma. Really tasty stuff. dchmela (1458), Orlando, Florida, USA

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 10, 2009 Pours a deep amber red with a decent off white creamy head. Smell is caramel, sweet bread, malt, and sweet fruity amarillo hops. Flavor is more of the same - sweet bready malt, caramel, brown sugar, and a subdued portion of hops in the finish. Very drinkable and enjoyable beer. Definitely my favorite of the style. WeeHeavySD (3041), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Apr 30, 2009 Bomber via trade with someone recently but who i can’t recall. shared with dalekliz. Pours rich orange with a tan head. Nose is sweet, hoppy and with a nice malty citrus edge. Taste is sweet, hoppy, citrussy and yummy. This is a great beer with a lot of balance, but I’m not sure if this feels like an irish ale to me. Nice beer indeed. fidelis83 (729), Clinton, Iowa, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Apr 27, 2009 Pours a crisp medium copper with a 1 finger creamy beige head that has awesome retention.Aroma is citrus, lotst of buttery toffee, creamy caramel, hints of pine, crusty white toast, some biscuit and blood orange. Flavor is lots of toast, biscuit, and toffee, caramel, citrus, a little pine and some herbal and spicy qualities. Palate is medium-thin with the perfect carbonation level and a slightly dry finish. Overall this is a great beer, has a very crisp and clean palate while having a really tasty and fairly "big" flavor profile. If this were available around here in 6 packs I could see this being a go-to beer for me, of course Alpha King would be ahead of it.
