| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 14, 2009 Bottle. Pale copper colour with a thick sticky white head. The nose is quite hoppy and fresh with lots of bright citrus notes. Some heavy grapefruit and orange peel. Quite fresh and hoppy and very tasty. A bit of biscuity and caramelly sweetness. Really, quite a lovely, simple pale ale. Lubiere (4536), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 13, 2009 An amber ale with a thick frothy off white head. In aroma, nice pungeant hops, floral with some orange pulp character, a bit meaty. In mouth, much more subdued, with biscuitty malt, light floral hops, intense orange pulp, interesting, but overall a bit unbalanced. On tap at Lucky’s, Logan Airport, Nov. 11 2009.

| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Nov 7, 2009 Nice resiny aroma. Brownish yellow and clear. No head. First taste is immediately mild but then morphs into a big, wew, IPA hoppy experience. This is certainly treading on IPA territory, bitter dull grapefruit rind and spruce tar palate. Barely any carbonation. Quite blunt and rude at times. Difficult lingering finish for a lager lover. jb (1046), Rochester, New York, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 6, 2009 On tap at McGregors. Rather nice looking, orange, beautiful lacing. Standard APA, nice balanced hop/malt beer, finish is dry. Grapefruit in nose, fruity palate but very creamy mouthfeel. Leans a tiny bit to the side of IPA. ¾ (4999), Colorado, USA
