| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 5, 2010 Bottle. Pours a dark murky amber with off-white head. Aroma of grassy, piney hops, malt, a little nutty, citrus. Flavor is very much the same with lots of grassy/piney hop flavor with nice bitterness and a little earthy. Mouth feel is light-medium body with high carbonation. Overall, a tasty, hoppy beer! 5000 (2900), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jan 2, 2010 Bottle:   Dark copper, large foamy sand colored head, nice lacing.   Little bit of a grainy and barnish nose.   Make that quite a bit of graininess.   Has the usual organic like funk.   Certainly malty on the
tongue, grainy, with a mealy presense.   Oh yeah, its that earthy graininess that seems to be associated with organic ales.   Has a soily component.   Body and mouthfeel are moderate.   Husky finish.   Too earthy,
soily, grainy, and husky for my tastes.   Might be better if it were a tad sweeter, as is its kinda dry.   Looked great, but almost seems too raw on the tongue.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 11, 2009 An amber beer with a small head. The aroma was malty, subtle fruitiness, with a mild bitter finish. I guess I can feel good about Mother Earth after drinking this. ansermadide (537), Kyle, Texas, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 7, 2009 Clear orange amber color, thin white soapy head. A pretty beer, really. Aroma of stinky hops a la body odor. Flavor of pronounced hops, yet mellow and smooth with a light sweetness. More BO in the finish. Light bitter pucker on aftertaste. Not much malt presence, mostly hops, leaving you with a clean, fresh hopped experience. They should make a bath soap out of this.
