| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 21, 2007 Deep red/orange pour with a small head. Lots of hops, and some malts in the nose.. This feels like an IPA with more malts. Overall a very delicious beverage, doesn’t feel to much like a winter beer however considering the bitterness of the hops, but it is very good. The aroma is kind of odd because theres the sharp hops, but some caramel or malts in there, just didn’t really expect the hops to be that up front I guess.. SoLan (1411), Orlando, Florida, USA

Flavor and aroma of an IPA with some toasty malt support. Medium body, balanced carbonation. Good brew, easy drinking. mgumby10 (1850), Jupiter, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 7, 2007 Courtesy SoLan. Pours a very lightly cloudy orange red with a small white head. Smells of mild hops with a decent malty background. Some citrus and a hint of some caramel too. Taste has a profound bitterness to it, as expected. Some hops, but a biggger malt base than I was expecting. get a little caramel in there as well. Not overly complex, it was mostly bitter. Finishes pretty smooth. Good beer to just drink one of. sneagrams3 (1747), St. Louis, Missouri, USA

Bitter hoppy nose. Citrus and slight malt aroma. Dry bitter and long finish. Nice subtle caramel malt backbone. Not too bad. DragonStout (1380), Pataskala, Ohio, USA

Flavor is overly hoppy. The finish was hop bitter. cking (1019), North Canton, Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 31, 2007 Rated 11/28/06: Yargh this here beauty is chock full of goodness. Friendly aroma not overpowering which looses a point or so with me, somewhat typical hop nose. Rediculously amazing pour color is a very dark copper almost brown. Big fluffy tan head that has no intention of leaving. lots of stringy lacing cascading down as the beer is drunk. Mouthfeel is nice easy quenching and smooth nothing outstanding. Flavor is warming and refreshing at the same time. Hearty hop presence more bitter and citrus than evergreen. Thick malt content very surprising. A little bit of caramel is detected. Overall unexpected and absolutely enjoyable. Yargh! tomthompson89 (1474), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 18, 2007 Bottle- aroma a little weak, dark brown color. nutty flavor, some pnw hops up front and in the finish. Pretty good flavor, but not something I would get into again. Brutal bitter is a far better example of the style.
