3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Wet lemony hop aroma. Light golden in color with a thick head that last. A full blast of c-hops, I am assuming centennials, wrap around your tongue and deliver a fine howdoyoudo. Enough body to make it interesting and deliver a good product. Pretty nice with a lasting grapefruit sensation. Thanks Rodger!

Bottle, thanks to DarkElf for the bonus. Grapefruit and pine aroma with some orange citrus mixed in as well. Very bright aroma. Copper-orange with an inch tall, off-white head that lasts. Bitter hop flavor with lots of caramel malt sweetness underneath. Medium light body - oily texture. I enjoyed this one.

Orange color with a thin white head. Slighty floral aroma. Mild hop character and a little resiny. A little rough and resiny on the palate. Decenct but nothing special.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Initial hoppy, bready/yeasty aroma evolved into that of "freshly added" hops. Very reminiscent of the aroma just after adding hops to a boiling batch of homebrew. Amber color with a slight, creamy head and decent lace on the side of the glass. A few fine bubbles continued to emerge from the bottom of the glass several minutes after pouring. Hop flavor was also remiscent of the "homebrew" aroma but improved as the beer warmed. Hops dominated, but a clean maltiness was present in the background. Lingering, bitter aftertaste that almost bordered on harshness. Medium-bodied palate with ample carbonation. A mouth couting sensation remained for 10 or 15 seconds after each sip.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Botle. Amber beer with a big off-white head. Nice citrus aroma. Grapefruit hop flavor with a bit of caramel malt backing. Creamy medium-body.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. A medium golden color with a light foamy white head. The nose has more bread and malts than striking hops. The bitterness of the hops comes through in the flavor with a dry finish and a malty aftertaste.
