| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 8, 2010 Bottle from Bottle Barn in Santa Rosa. Drank this during the Super Bowl, the beer snob that I am, while most others were drinking BMC crap. Pours medium amber with a substantial off-white head. Aroma is sweet caramel malt and somewhat faded hops that are really citrusy and fruity. Some good tropical fruit esters in there and slight grassy notes. Flavor is great and well-balanced. Sweet caramel malt, toffee, grass, and faded citrusy hops. Orange, pineapple, mango, and peach flavors. Medium-full on the palate and a little more syrupy than I’d like. Average carbonation. This is a great pale ale overall. pivnizub (5196), Bochum, Porúří, Germany

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 7, 2010 Beautiful pour - rich, clear caramel color with a lasting fluffy white head. Nice lacing too. Aroma is all citrus and pine hops. Great hop profile and a solid finish with plenty of bite on the back of the tongue. Some caramel malt sweetness for balance. Not as good as Alpha King, but this is still outstanding. Very drinkable and enjoyable. kromamc (117), Italy
