| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 12, 2009 Bottle at PIB. Deep amber with light tan head. Aroma is crazy citrus fruits: tangerine, lemon, grapefruit along with nice pine hops and a solid caramel backdropping. Flavor is big hops of citrus, pine, caramel and toffee malts. Very well balanced and one of the better brews I had at the festival. mabel (2612), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Hazy, brown amber body with a long-lasting foamy off-white head. Nice rich sugary floral toffee malt flavour. Medium-full body. Quite tasty.

Hazy copper body topped with a decent beige frothy head. Strong, complex hoppy aroma with piney, fruity and toffee hints. Its sharp hoppy taste carries fruity and caramel notes. It leaves a long, warming bitter aftertaste. Lovely! robinvboyer (1428), Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Canada
