| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 31, 2007 Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is citrus and floral hops, and caramel. Flavor starts of malty with caramel and then finishes decently bitter with the floral and citrus hops, mostly on the floral end. Much better then I expected. I’ll be looking forward to this brew next winter. DrBayern (1135), Morehead City, North Carolina, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 26, 2007 12 oz. bottle marked "Purchase before June 07." Coppery brown pour with a nicely sized yellowish tan head and some fair lace. Big hop aroma of citrus, pine and spice over a background of caramel. Medium/full mouhtfeel with light carbonation and a touch of astringency. Starts off with a rich malty sweetness, but this soon gives way to substantial spicy bitterness that brings on a long dry finish. This is a nice effort. MrBendo (1042), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jan 23, 2007 eh, I wasn’t all that impressed by this. started with a mild malt flavor, but then it turned into a bad bitter aftertaste. body wasn’t all that either.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 23, 2007 Pours out a ruby amber color forming very little head. Aroma of malts, hops with a nice pine flavor. A very typical American Strong Ale. Clipper City produces another great beer product. Good beer folks! boboski (1095), Alabama, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 20, 2007 Clear amber pour, evenly dispersed carbonation forming a small, soft off white head with a yellow tint. A thin film of solid lacing eventually forms. This looks like it’s skillfully crafted. Aroma is mostly piney and fruity hops, with a decent amount of caramel malt as well. Flavor is more complex, showcasing additions of marzipan, tart raspberry, flowers and very course but sticky malts. Alcohol in the taste and finish is very hot. Pretty good, a little young tasting. Just underdeveloped a touch in the flavor department, otherwise quite quaffable. This is a beer that has parts that are far more exciting than the whole. wheninhell (486), louisville, Kentucky, USA
