| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 5, 2009 Solid amber color with decent carbonation. Nice fresh hop and malt miix right up front. Sweet. Bubblegum. The flavor similarly bespeaks hop and malt sweetness with candi sugar prominence and some bubblegum as well. Perhaps the New Zealand hops give it that twang. Tasty stuff.

Poured hazy copper color with a large frothy off-white head that lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate to heavy sour citrus hop and small sweet aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Moderate to heavy citrus bittersweet flavor with a moderate sweet finish of medium to long duration.
Very good complex brew and nice change of pace for #4000.
