| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Jul 11, 2008 Pours an absolutely clear orange with a very brief head, and a sweet but funky aroma with light notes of orange peel. Tastes very watery and weak with an artificial orange flavour. Well carbonated, thin body. Ewww... Gethinbeer (1001), Nova Scotia, Canada
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Jul 8, 2008 From bottle. Fresh aroma of citrus hops and fruit. Clear orange in colour with a thin lace. Refreshing ale. Crisp and clean texture. A little weak in flavour. Expected to hit with orange but gives a subtle flavour of orange peels. If you like orange peels that’s a great thing but I wasn’t to sure. Overall, a drinkable beer and so happy to find it in NS. Boutip (2350), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Jul 7, 2008 Bottle: Poured a light copper color ale with a good size foamy head with medium retention and no lacing. Aroma of light caramel malt with not as much spices as was advertised on the label. Taste is also dominated by caramel malt with light bitter hops. I still can’t believe five varieties of hops were used and that the taste is not more pronounced. Would have enjoyed this one a lot more of it had more character.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 30, 2008 A golden ale with a thick receding white head. Aroma of grainy malt, caramel, and german hopping. In mouth, a good fresh malt with light residual sugar, a bit of vanilla. Not much in terms of orange, but a good quaffable ale. Bottle from LCBO, tasted May 2007. dkachur (2356), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 27, 2008 65 cL bottle courtesy of matt7215. Thanks Matt Orange-ish amber pour with a large white head. Moderate retention and little specks of lacing. Sweet malty aroma. Very sweet, but not overly so, with the orange subtly coming through. Caramel notes as well. Grainy malt taste shows up first followed by a big hit of orange. Slight hop finish. Interesting beer and a good effort. vanrassel (30), Calgary, Alberta, Canada
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 26, 2008 Orange blossom aromas with a touch of vanilla and honey. The flavour started malty and sweet, with tart oranges coming in the middle. A dry, dusty finish made for an overall subtle and refreshing effect. (This rating is for a 660 mL bomber — I found the draft version more cloying and less enjoyable and was pleasantly surprised with the bottled product.) markas101 (557), Fargo, North Dakota, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 15, 2008 65 cl bottle, Toronto. Light amber colour, malty aroma, balanced hop flavor. No orange peel coming through for me, except perhaps on the aftertaste there is a slight citrus burn. Not bad but for the price there are many options as good or better. matt7215 (959), Cambridge, Ontario, Canada
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 12, 2008 bomber from the LCBO. pours orange with a nice tan head. aromas are nice and malty and not at all what youd expect from the appearance. flavours are mostly malty with orange rind and a slightly hoppy finish. not bad but not what i was expecting. a dry hopped cask version of this could be something special.
