Aromas of nice grapefruit and floral hops. Flavor is much more balanced though. Nice grains and caramel malts balanced nicely with floral and grapefruit hops. Somewhat bitter finish. Very crisp and clean on the palate. This one is a winner. Nice example of the style! JdoubleyouS (82), Erie, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 18, 2006 12oz Bottle viz trade from Kramer17801: The beer pours a deep golden orange yellow color. A thick foamy, white-ish head erupts to slowly fade away. There is some signifigant carbonation throughout. The aroma is prominent of green apples and lots of hops, with undertones of citrus and pine. The flavor is malty sweet up front and hoppy finish. There is also some citrus flavors, maybe a little caramel. CMUBEERMAN (415), Madison, Wisconsin, USA

Smell was strong with hops and earth. Taste is fairly bitter and citrusy (as expected). Mouthfeel was smooth and great...the cask really servers this beer well. dp (512), uniontown, Ohio, USA

A little closer to amber than copper in color. The flavor manages to stay hoppy without overwhelming bitterness. Solid brew AdamSkillin (376), High Bridge, New Jersey, USA

Head lingers, I would say more yellow than copper for the color. Actually smells kinda like the close cousin of the hops plant, Mary Jane. Actually a really pleasant taste, and not as bitter as I thought it would be. Huge hop flavor and aroma, not too much malt. Real nice beer.
