5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20 maneliquor (1553) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - MAR 7, 2013
UPDATED: APR 8, 2013 Bottle from Mane Liquor. Pours a healthy looking orange with a dense, beige head which lasts for the duration. Fantastic legs on it. Nose instantly shows the funk and it’s mix with citrus hoppage. Massive tropical fruits - mango, passionfruit, nectarine. It’s like a semi sweet semi sour fruit bowl. Amazing stuff. Quite a tarty kick on the first sip but as my palate gets used to it, it really opens up. Loads of citric and tropical hoppage. A touch grassy with a great balance of funk coming through. Very punch-bowl fruit driven - mango, nectarine, apricot, grapes. So juicy. Palate is slightly creamy with a lengthy sour grapefruit-like tang. Unbelievably good beer. Best I’ve had in a long time

4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20 jesperhammer (2203) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - OCT 15, 2012
15-OCT-2012, bottle @home, from Fish & Beer.
Hazy orange with lasting almost white head.
Surprising aroma with tangerine, grape fruit, brett, tartness, fruity hops.
Taste the same. Very fruity - malt and hops, but also very wine-like except for the soft carbonation. Sour, long fruity and sour finish.
Really a surprise. Expected an APA but this is a sour. Fantastic drink.
4.5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 DocLock (6789) - Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 28, 2013
Bottle from Smith’s. Pours turbid orangy deep copper with 1-finger frothy off-white head. Nose is heavy ruby red grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, grapes. Tastes very tart, acidic, woody, heavy on the IBUS, and somewhat dry and black peppery. Achieves a grapefruit juicy, oaky flavor profile with the added malt that smooths out late. If this is an APA, then this is an APA on steroids, and a damned good one.

21st May 2012 Hazy amber beer, little off white head. Palate is soft and light and a little silky, mild fine carbonation. A really nice palate. Lovely tasty beer - mild citrus fruits, a little brett. Really nice fresh white wine grape and mild sourness. Mango, peach, orange, gooseberry and kiwi in latter half. Fabulous.
4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20 HopRedHead (120) - Perth, AUSTRALIA - MAR 16, 2013
UPDATED: APR 29, 2013 Bottle from Mane Liquor. Pours an orange/amber with creamy lasting head. Sweet hoppy passionfruit/citrus aroma with acidic, sour notes. Almost zesty. Sour, medium bodied flavour with a moderate sweetness and really attractive bitterness. Thirsty for more! Surprised how much I liked this beer, highly recommendable ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20 Reynolds314 (1480) - Connecticut, USA - AUG 13, 2012
I dont know whats wrong with you people but this beer is fantastic. Get a fresh bottle or something because this is fantastic. Very nice funky flavors and great american hops which provide a bright citrus element to the funky richness of the belgian yeast. Really should be classified as a belgian ale and not an american pale ale. I think people are going in expecting something different. This is much more similar to orval or E then it is Alpha King or Daisy Cutter.
