| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 25, 2007 Bottle thanks to Ughsmash! Poured a slightly cloudy orange with a good 2 finger head. Aroma of flowery hops, butter and toffee. A full buttery taste with lightly roasted malts and a little bit of lemongrass in the aftertaste. You can definetely tell that Goose Island made this stuff from the malt and hop balance. A pretty good beer! hopscotch (5474), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 24, 2007 Bottle... Clear amber ale with orange highlights and a mid-sized, fizzy, off-white head. Decent retention. Biscuity, malty nose with a strong note of toasted English toffee and a faint note of black tea. The flavor slants toward the sweet side of balance. I really like the blend of biscuity and pilsner-esque pale malts alongside moderately bitter, earthy hops. Great roastiness. Medium-bodied with lively carbonation. Toasted caramel, earthy, bitter-sweet finish. Malty, English IPA! omhper (12171), Stockholm, Sweden
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Jul 4, 2007 Bottled. Hazy pale amber, brief head. Vague orangey nose. Sweet and medium bodied with hard mouthfeel. Simplistic somewhat papery hard crystal malt followed by, well, nothing at all. oh6gdx (8838), Vasa, Finland

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Jun 24, 2007 Bottle; poured a clear light orange w/ minimal white head. Aroma was of roasted and caramel/toffee malt; a little grainy and nutty. Taste is ok, but after taste not so much. Caramel and toffee up front, but ending is of tea and citrus. obguthr (1015), Poquoson, Virginia, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 2/5 | 17/20 | Jun 20, 2007 Daffodil and honey aroma. Blurry amber pour with a thin, lacy, off-white head. Clover taste, not complex, but delicious. Slight hop finish. Suprisingly good. WeeHeavySD (2963), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | May 8, 2007 12 oz bottle bonus via trade with ? thanks. This is the organic pale bottle. Pous light orange with a a thin tan head that fades from a mountain. Light hoppy aroma. Taste isn’t half bad, though it has some weird after taste notes I can’t quite place.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 30, 2007 On sale for $4.49/six pack at local Whole Foods store. Frankly, this was better than I expected. Pours a medium amber with smallish white head. Some lacing. Somewhat grainy, bready aroma with a little nuttiness. Not a lot of hops evident. First taste is caramel malt with some toffee & vanilla, a bit of nutiness in the background. Only mild, slightly citrusy hopping, Very drinkable beer and while it may not be up to hophead expecations, it’s still quite tasty.
