| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Oct 7, 2008 Shared bottle with Timfoolery. Smelled of hoppy goodness and even tasted pretty good at first, but the palate just fell apart. Left an odd bitter taste in my mouth. Decent brew for the genre, but not a standout. alexanderj (2244), Chino Hills, California, USA

Aroma of fruit, orange/citrus, caramel and earth. Flavor of toffee and caramel up front, with some grassy/earthy/citrus hopping in the finish. Decently bitter for the style. Lingering flavor. A solid, but probably average, version of the style. bu11zeye (5442), Frisco, Texas, USA
