4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20 beermatrix (1497) - Twin Cities, USA - JUN 24, 2003
Solid pale golding dark yellowy amber, nearly orange color, with a oatmeal looking top and colored head, settles to leave solid spotty lace all around the glass that sticks well. Smell is pretty strong and fronting of citrusy fruits, dulled a bit of mostly orange, some grapefruit, lemon and lime...most fruitylicious! Taste is amazingly fruity sweet, oily hopness, lightly tart and sour, very nice hop twingyness thats mellowing but lush and quite flavoring of...yes, grapefruit....some lemon, orange, and apples, all done in a dulling fashion, nothing to overwhelming in tart or sourness, perfectly infused. The malts are magnificent in laying the ground work for the amount of fruity hops that seem to be bouncing all over the place. Feel is medium body and full, the lingering effect of tarty sourness is quite nice, easily handled, and seems to last forever. Super mellowing drinkable stuff, man!

12oz bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a deep amber with about a finger of white head. Aroma of caramel and citrus hops. Taste is about the same. Lightly bitter. Medium bodied with a decently thick texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, I would gladly drink this again.

Decent flavor - malty and hoppy, piney but not too piney. Problem is it doesn’t last long and isn’t too terribly memorable. Cool name, but more solid than spectacular.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 dnstone (1837) - Alamogordo, New Mexico, USA - MAY 7, 2012
Nice golden color with a descent off-white head that lingers. Dry hop floral-citrusy, slightly piney aroma. Medium bodied and smooth; a nice malt backbone (not too much) with a nice floral hop character...flavorful with a clean finish.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 FURLYSURIOUS (185) - Orono, Minnesota, USA - MAY 2, 2012
I love that this one is available in a 12 can pack now. Poured from 12oz can to pint glass:
Looks nice. A mellow, muted gold body with a finger of dense, slightly off white head. Decent lacing and hardly any beading.
The nose is good and balanced... earthy and citrus hops cut with caramel and sweet grain.
The taste highlights many of the same qualities - again, very balanced and totally session worthy.
Overall, this is a solid brew. Not really my go-to style but I’m all in when it’s this good.

Draft. Pours cloudy light brown with very little head. Aroma is completely floral. Taste is crisp with some hop bite on the finish. Very flavorful for the ABV. Awesome apa.
