| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 12, 2008 Thanks to hopdog for sharing this one. Pours a mostly translucent golden amber with a medium creamy/bubbly lightly off white head that laced. Aroma of Eric weed, lightly floral and herbal, caramel malt, lightly toasty, fresh hops and orange zest. Flavor was also herbal/hoppy, floral, light citrus, toffee, some nuts and caramel along with orange. Ughsmash (4054), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 11, 2008 Bottled. Poured transparent medium orange with very fine sediment suspended in there.. short dusting of white head with some sticky lacing. The aroma picked up a heavy hit of Orange Curaçao upfront, rounding out the citrus bouquet with pink grapefruit and blood oranges.. deeper down was a bit of caramel support. The flavor had a lot of natural orange and grapefruit sugars and a whole lot of bitterness from the same.. resiny pine on the back-end with a sticky finish. Medium-bodied with moderate, well-executed carbonation on the palate.. quite smooth on the palate with nice balance. Good brew. thejoeshow (232), Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 10, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours a rich golden orange color with a white head full of tiny, tightly packed bubbles. Nose is very fruity, almost grapefruit and lime and completely full of citrus aromas. Smells wonderful! Flavor is total citrus hops and has a nice bitterness that kicks in half way through the sip. Very nice balance for how bitter it is. Nice, complex flavor. This beer is nice and smooth for how bitter it is. There are points where it scrapes your tongue but not a lot, just here and there. darkguardian (506), Florida, USA

Fantastic smelling IPA. Pours a fairly clear amber. The flavor be pine and citrusy hops, with a sweet malt backbone that balances this out.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 8, 2008 Pours a beautiful ruddy golden orange with a creamy head. I liked this beer more the first time I had it; nothing particularly wrong this time, it just seemed to be missing a little of that orange-peel zest I’d remembered. Flavor is nice, grapefruity hops, bitter orange lurking in the background. Maybe a little metallic. Still, crisp and refreshing, with much more taste than most beers that meet that description. Recommended. yespr (12345), Copenhagen O, Denmark
