| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 6, 2008 Medium head with a hazy orange color. Big wiff of perfume before the bottle is even emptied into the glass. To many floral hop put it just on the edge of drinkable. Nice grapefruit flavor but gets hidden in the sweet flavor. bfeldmann (1042), Wilmington, Delaware, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 26, 2008 A- Pours a fairly clear orange hue with a small but sustinate white head.
S- Smells sweet with a thick malt backbone and very grassy smelling hop notes.
T- Taste starts off with the grassy notes as in the nose, moves into a doughy maltiness followed by a hop bitterness that can’t really be described as grapefruity or piney, perhaps leaning towards citrusey grapefruit but there is definitely a unique flavor to it.
M- Thick with just the right amount of carbonation.
D- I enjoyed this one but it definitely isn’t one that I would session. There is that off grassy note that throws me a bit but other than that it’s a solid double IPA. miketd (679), Cleveland, Ohio, USA

Pour is a murky brown/ copper coller. Aroma is mostly citrus hops and sweet fruit. Taste is malty sweetness balanced by a nice amount of hops. Smooth palate and very drinkable.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Apr 24, 2008 12 oz. Hazy orange pour with a thin white head. Smells pretty nice - citrus zest (esp. orange), pine, fresh cut grass. Really fresh and green. A tiny bit of alcohol comes through. Enough sweetness in the aroma to balance the hops. The hops hit me a little differently than usual for some reason. Down the sides of my tongue. Finish is like hops and seltzer. For some reason, I don’t think it’s overly hoppy, but it could just be me today. Good body and carbonation. Really the only Arcadia beer that I’ve had worth drinking. Well done.
