3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 DuffMan (5196) - the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, CANADA - MAY 19, 2013
Bottle, shared with Grippiris and Mike. Medium brassy golden colour. Aroma is quite floral with underlying malty sweetness. The palate carries a sweet biscuity malt but much of the floral aromatics in the nose are absent here, leading to a quick dry bitter end. After it warms a bit, a light perfuminess comes forward, lemongrass maybe, but overall this just doesn’t really shine.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Aubrey (3347) - Bellingham, Washington, USA - MAY 5, 2013
Nice amber-orange hue with a decent head and lace. Somewhat toasted malts; caramel-toffee sweetness. Very fruity hops; I get lemon and grapefruit mostly. Bitterness in the finish is kind of stark, like a plant stem. Lingering elements of citrus rind.
2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20 Jcarb28 (69) - Pico Rivera, California, USA - APR 6, 2013
Golden/Orange on the pour with a lemon and a slight sweet aroma. It goes down fairly smooth with lingering notes of lemon/orange flavors and to me, the hops don’t kick in until the very end.

Bottle. Pours a very hazy darker amber color with a moderate white head and a lot of floaties in it. Smells like the hops have turned, as it’s off-puttingly bitter. Taste is much the same, as it seems just a little disappointingly old. Meh.
