| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 2, 2009 Sampled at From The Vine beer tasting Jan 30th, 2009: This beer is a transparent orange-amber color with a medium thin and fizzy white head that diminishes quickly. Small patches of lacing. Aroma of caramel and citrusy hops. Medium, clean body with a sweet caramel malt character and flavors of piney hops and a touch of grapefruit. The finish is smooth and malty with a grassy hops finish. Pretty good overall. ThaBobfather (178), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

Great amber color that is deeper than most. Great fluffy head. Hello hops. Like fresh topsoil. Good stuff. Leaves a great hoppy aftertaste Dubbercody (214), Vancouver, Washington, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 1, 2009 Bottle, First beer of my super bowl commercial watching afternoon. Amber pour with a fluffy white head. Smells hoppy, with citrus and pine mingling. Flavor of lots of nice hops swirled in with a mitigating malt presence. Hops are nicely on show here. Tasty beer. Awesome trade bonus beer! JaBier (1233), Capital City, Ohio, USA

Clear amber pour with a white head. Hopped up aroma of citrus and pine without much else. Citrusy hop flavors of grapefruit and orange with some malt. Not as crisp as I had hoped. Could have used some Cascade or Centennial amongst the gazillion other hops they used. DSG (1514), Tel Aviv, Israel

Orange pour, decent white head. Strong taste - all juicy hops balanced with some delicious medium malt. No citrus here, all resin and I loved it.
