Poured amber with a creamy off-white head that left light lace. Nice grapefruit and caramel aroma with light pine backing. The flavor has an enjoyable citrus hop and toasted malt mix. Medium body and very decent. Travlr (727), Washington, Washington DC, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 10, 2008 Reddish appearance, white head. Aroma like Pillsbury dough. Malty taste with nice hops balance. Good pale ale. malrubius (977), Valley Stream, New York, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Dec 7, 2008 600 ml bottle in pint glass. Copper with lasting head and lace. Nicely balanced fresh citrus hop and biscuity aroma. Very nice mild honey peach sweetness with toasty biscuit and citrusy fresh hop finish. Medium body and carbo. Nice mouthfeel. Really really an excellent complex and satisfying pale ale. Too bad it is so expensive that I will only be able to enjoy it once. tennisjoel (938), Shakopee, Minnesota, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 6, 2008 Bottle. Thanks Winston for sharing. Strong aroma. Some grainy hops. Whatever kind they use is pleasing to the senses. Citrusy dry finish. Good solid beer and one of the best in the American Pale Ale category. The only thing that would deter me from purchasing in the future is the price. glennmastrange (842), hobe sound, Florida, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Dec 4, 2008 Bottle. Moderate malt notes of roasted and caramel, orange peel and pine for the hops, light soap for the yeast, with background hints of raspberry and pepper. Head is frothy, slightly off-white with good lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is hazy orange/tan. Flavor starts moderately sweet and acidic, then finishes lightly acidic and moderately bitter. Palate is light to medium, between dry and watery and has a lively carbonation. The berry aspect of this beer makes it a very unique example of an American Pale Ale.

Poured clear golden color with an average frothy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Solid balanced sour citrus hoppy aroma. Medium body with slick texture and soft carbonation. Medium balanced bittersweet flavor with a medium smooth bitter finish of moderate duration.
Solid drinkable brew. jspruit (111), Dublin, Ireland
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 30, 2008 Drank from 50cl purchased at http://www.olbutikken.dk/ in Copenhagen.
Nice slightly off-white head that is about 2 fingers high and laces down the glass nicely. Color is nice pale with a bit amber hints in it-quite nice.
Smells nice and earty with some hoppy notes and some citrus hints. Makes you eager to taste.
Flavor is APA all of the way with nice hops blends and some pine/earthy flavors. A bit bitter with some biscuit notes too, but overall well balanced.
Nicely balanced and goes down smooth with alot of flavor so that is nice. A light dry fninsh leaves you wanting more.
This is a great example of APA (my favorite style) and definitely one that I’d recommend to others and will drink it again if I can get my hands on it. Dorwart (1812), Robbinsville, New Jersey, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 29, 2008 Large frothy off-white head of fine bubbles. Reduces slowly and leaves a thick sticky sheet of lacing. Light malty and hoppy aroma with a bit of faint cat urine, oranges and toasted grains. Color is a copper brown. Medium bodied with a good roasted grain background and a bunch of bitter hoppiness up front that lingers for a while. Finishes kind of dry and bitter. A decent APA.
