| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 25, 2007 Sampled on tap at the Truckee Brew and Blues festival, August 2007. Deep roasty grains aroma, dough; somewhat herbal-infused orangey hops aroma. A little raw and worty. Very hoppy, bittter flavor, quite sweet and chock-full of crystal malts. Hops flavor actually a little lacking, or at least hiding behind the bitterness and overabundance of toffee notes from the crystal malt. Less crystal malts and more attenuation would push this closer to being a winner. sloth (1662), Ceciltucky, Co., Maryland, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 11, 2007 Medium sized offwhite head, retention is good as is the lace. Amber brown in color. Nose is nice, pine, leafy with a bit of toasty malts residing. Body is med/full with a nice oilyness, soft and sorta creamy on the palate. Good malt to hop balance, pine, citrus grainy, caramelly malts and a little earthy. Finish is almost dry with a good hop biterness. Not yer basic IIPA but more like a good ASA. A little more finesse involved here. Thanks go out to SDbruboy for this bomber. Thanks again Cliff! alexsdad06 (1080), Ohio, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 21, 2007 22 oz. bottle from kenb. Thanks Ken. Pours a hazy amber color with a creamy beige head that disappears into a small ring around the glass. The aroma is all about the hops. Fresh floral, grassy, piney, with light citrus are present. There is a hint of malt as well. The flavor is pretty well balanced considering the aroma. The sweet toffee malt balances the hops (light citrus, pine, floral)in this one nicely. The mouthfeel is medium-full. I enjoyed this on alot. Maria (6167), Thisted, Denmark

It’s dark amber with a creamy, huge head and the aroma has loads of citrus, pine, mango and caramel. The flavour is nice with notes of slightly sweet citrus-fruits, mango, pine and a grape-like bitterness wrapped in smooth caramel - nice!! 2367 BückDich (4830), McCall, Idaho, USA

Nose of grass, a touch of pine and loads of grapefruit, nice and fresh, toasty. The flavor is bitter and resinous, tons of apricots and dry malt sweetness. Nice, I like this better than the regular hop henge. smhncabot (310), Cabot, Arkansas, USA
