Tap@Big Time. Pretty decent stuff. Aromatic hops all over the place, but good balance between malts. Piney, lemon/orange rind, bitter finish, this is great. Another reason to visit Seattle.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 TChrome (1389) - Bedford, Texas, USA - JUN 17, 2004
This beer pours cloudy orange with a nice off white head that exhibits excellent retention. Aroma is strongly citric hops and most resembles fresh squeezed orange juice in aroma. Flavor is freshly and sharply citric hops with some residual bitterness. Must be some malt in there somewhere, but its hiding out pretty well. Be glad to chug one of these again.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 TimE (2600) - Tokyo, JAPAN - APR 18, 2004
Started off slightly tart, then a citrusy mouth feel with some cookie notes and then a rounded bitter finish. Good, but not up to the hype.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 jsquire (2957) - St. Marys, Ohio, USA - FEB 15, 2003
Cloudy orange copper color out of the bottle with a thick, rocky white head. Soft, orange citrus spice flavors over a sweet malt backbone. Very well balanced. This is a very good use of the hop's characteristics without just shovelling more hops into the beer.
