Aroma is incredible, sweet citrus smell, lemon zest almost. Taste isn’t so sweet, bitter and hoppy and very good. Smooth finish, the lemon tinge seems to linger on the tongue. Excellent beer.

This review is after pouring from a bottle into a pint glass. I really enjoy this beer! Tough to decide whether I enjoy this or Dark Horse’s Crooked Tree more. It’s neck and neck. Aroma is wonderful, very fruity and hoppy. Appearance is dark yellow/copper, and not quite as cloudy as you might expect; my fingers are clearly visible on the other side of the glass. Only other complaint is that it’s a little bit more carbonated than I’d like. But I’m picking nits. It is full of flavor and quite refreshing. I find myself coming back to this beer again and again! ben4321 (1041), Rockville, Maryland, USA

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 27, 2009 Firkin at Ashley’s. Poured a cloudy amber gold with an off-white head. Aroma was full of hops bring out a pleasant pine note, while there is an undertone of fruit, a bit of apple perhaps. The flavor was deliciously balance with pine notes as well the slightest sweetness under the bitterness. outerspace81 (4), Detroit, Michigan, USA does not count | 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Jul 27, 2009 Great amount of hops.
