| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 9, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours deep golden with a small white frothy head. Aroma is nicely refreshing in that the hops aren’t just citrus IPA. The citrus is there, but its nicely balanced with piney hops and a nice caramel smoothness. Flavor starts with a nice soft english ESB like toast and dark fruits. Gains some hoppy resins and and a nicely bitter edge that never overwhelms the palate but compliments. Finishes smooth and creamy azlondon (662), Fribourg, Switzerland

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Sep 23, 2009 Smells hoppy. And soapy? Fruity and hoppy flavor. Aftertaste leaves a floral feel. Cavie (1369), Fort Worth, Texas, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Sep 16, 2009 Clear orange pour. Decent hop aroma with elements of dry fruit. Wet hops for sure. Has some apple taste upfront with the brush of hops past the swallow. Finish is pretty astringent hops that remains wet. Decent with a less than stellar finish. CUJO (339), Brooklyn, New York, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 14, 2009 bottle: pint glass: pours a dark amber, leaving 2 fingers of dry, off white head. The nose is not giving enough hops/ bitters as expected, instead some more sweet qualities come through. The taste is much of the same... not a epic, battle ready viking, glory brew of hops... instead a well balanced hoppy yet, sweet, maybe citrus feeling beer. Interesting...
