Dark ruddy copper pour with a decent sized head. Big hoppy aroma balanced nicely with caramel malts. Similar flavors - nice darker caramel malts and a good amount of hop flavors, and a decent bitter bite to finish. Very good. CaptainCougar (5517), Rockville, Maryland, USA

Fresh hoppy aroma has some dry toasty caramel balance. Body starts with some nice caramel malty sweetness well-balanced with lots of hoppy bitterness and a crisp, toasty finish. Not as hoppy as some IPAs, but still well done. Thanks Ken! goldtwins (4084), Nesconset, New York, USA

Poured a golden amber color with a medium off-white head. Aroma had a decent amount of floral and perfumey hops. A little earthy as well. Malty flavor had some hop mixed in with a mild bitter finish.
GABF 2006: Clear brown amber color with a large off-white head. Big citrus aroma followed by diacetyl. Hoppy citrus flavor with a light malt. Mild bitter finish. This taste would have scored a 6 A and 7 F. heykevin (1269), Iowa City, Iowa, USA
