| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 28, 2008 Super light orange with a nice 2 finger head that is made entirely of huge light suds. Instant sticking as the head shrinks.
Orange peel, spice and a musty hop aroma. Has a nice smooth start with a huge hop kick in the middle and flattens out to a nice smooth finish. Smooth front to finish with a nice hop flavor. The hop flavor is very very clean. This is a very easy drinking beer. Nice! Pick this one up KnutAlbert (3127), Oslo, Norway
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Nov 28, 2008 Hazy amber beer.
Fruity aroma.
Dry hops, lots of lovely fruit, some Belgian style sourness.
A great beer. nhorween (640), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 21, 2008 12oz. Hazy amber beer with a dense head. Intense resiny pine aroma, fresh smelling and almost minty. Great tropical fruitiness. Nice round flavor. Very drinkable. More notes to come.... jimhilt (1678), Bow, New Hampshire, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 20, 2008 Pours a five finger light tan head that fades quickly leaving some lace. Cloudy amber color. Piney nose. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied. Flavor is caramel and grapefruit with a pine finish. Not bad for an IPA with the hops almost balanced by the malts. $5.75 for a 11.5oz bottle from Tully’s Beer & Wine Wells, Me.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 1, 2008 Pour is copper with small head. Aroma of grainy malts, grass and earth. Tastes ok...slightly astringent. Pretty heavy malt. Decent, but nothing to try again unless I see it at the brewery. Tmoney99 (4733), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 30, 2008 Bottle from Crown Liqour, indy, In. Poured hazy copper color with an average to large frothy off-white head that lasted with excellent lacing. Moderate sour citrus and caramel aroma. Medium body with a slick smooth texture. Medium bittersweet flavor with moderate sweet finish of moderate to long duration. This solid complex beer did meet my expectations. PilsnerPeter (2617), Flushing, New York, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 30, 2008 Bottle: Pours a hazy amber with a dense tan lacing head. Rich aroma of zesty pine needles, citrus/orange hints and a nice toasted caramel malt presence. Creamy dense carbonation on the palate. An IPA with nice malt depth, thank you! Rich, bready with some rye-like suggestions, toasted caramel, zesty pine notes, orangey citrus suggestions and a piny toasted finish. Has a great malt depth giving it nuances other than hop juice resins. Very tasty and cohesive. TeamTrappist (388), jericho, New York, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 23, 2008 Poured a cloudy reddish brown. Spicey, sweet, musty, grassy nose. Lots of tiny bubbled carbonation, with a fairly thin mouthful, which surprised me due to the color.Flavor is very similar to the nose. This beer is unique in that I can’t think of a beer that I would compare it to.Definitely more spicy than floral Finish starts smooth and dry, but lingers with some sweet bitterness.
