| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 4, 2005 Cloudy copper pour, beautiful color. Gentle full off-white head slowly receds to a sticky cover. Heavy malt aroma unleashing maple and graham cookies components. Mellowed by a good level of sweetness and yeasty undertones yet concentration worthy. Not the most complex, but the hop profile is displayed gracefully, coming out soapy, woody. Pleasant rich caramel maltiness. Almost bready yeast undertones, at times hinting at butter. Diplomatic yet growing bitterness, sand-like, highly earthy, orangey and dry. As other Midnight Sun beers, the carbonation is prominent, though not disturbing unlike in their other brews. It is very well rounded, full bodied, airy and bubbly which seems to bring two sub-effects: A warming and filling sensation and a shorter flavor than it could have. I definitely can’t say it is for the worse on the other hand. Among the pack that closely follows the lead in the world of I2PAs and probably my favorite of the couple of Midnight Suns I’ve tried. hopscotch (5558), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Jan 11, 2004 Sparkling clear, amber ale with a small, creamy, white head.
Very malty and extremely well-hopped. Great balance. Caramel, sherry, leather, flowers, cashews and apple notes. Full-bodied and astringent as Hell. Oily mouthfeel with lively carbonation. Lengthy, tart, dry finish. Really good stuff!
