| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 21, 2010 thanks to j12601 for the share @ RnH - fruity citrus orange. Nice caramel malts and smooth. Good, but didn’t make a huge impression, especially surrounded by all those Cigar City beers. yespr (13363), Copenhagen O, Denmark

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 17, 2009 I can’t count how many times I’ve brought this to get togethers, bbq’s or watching football with some friends. It’s always such an easy drinking, nicely hopped, damned tasty beer. Picked up a mixed pack of Speakeasy beers for the weekend and it seems like I haven’t rated this yet. Odd.
The beer pours out a dark golden amber color, clear with a creamy 1/2 inch off-white head. Aroma is nicely balanced with the sweet malt, bready yeast and juicy, citrus hop profile. It’s also slightly peppery in the nose. Flavor shows off the same balance in the aroma with a good showing of lightly toasted malts, earthy/herbal hops with a crisp, clean finish with a touch of lingering bitterness. So easy to drink and enjoy.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 18, 2009 12 oz. Clear and shiny burnt orange with little tiny bubbles persisting as if it were a photo-op. Nose is pleasantly bold with a blend of grapefruit, honeycomb, cereal grain and resin. Taste is similar but has much more resin and peppery dried wood. Light medium body is a bit too frothy at times and nearly astringently dry. blipp (1890), Newark, New Jersey, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 8, 2009 Draft. Pours gold with a white head. Floral hoppy aroma with some sweet malts. The flavor has grainy sweet malts with a balancing hop presence. A decent APA. PilsnerPeter (2862), Flushing, New York, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 1, 2009 Tap at Rattle n Hum: Deep golden pour with a white film of head. Grassy zesty aroma with a lemon rind note and soft caramel malts. Has a light end of a medium body. Some cookieish malts (like many of this brewery’s beers) Has a soft caramel sweetness that meshes with mild zesty hop notes of lemon grass (feels like centennial hops). Has a peppery back. Not bad.
