Pours a mostly clear red with a big frothy off white head, tons of lacing. Big nose of citrus, pine and toasted malt. Flavor was a bit more malty than expected, palate was (like the can says) sticky!! A great brew. pumpmaster (476), Pembroke Pines, Florida, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 21, 2008 Bottle courtesy of gford217: Poured a deep brown color ale with a nice foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of bitter and citrus hops are dominating. Taste is also dominated by those citrusy and bitter Qwest Coast hops with a nice caramel malt profile that is overshadowed by the hops. Full body with some good carbonation and no discernable alcohol behind all those hops. One-dimensional for sure but still very tasty and nonetheless a beer I wouldn’t mind having access on a regular basis. MesandSim (5802), London, Greater London, England
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 20, 2008 A Mes rate: Bottle at the Tom’s awesome Twickenham Brewery tasting. A gorgeous rich amber colour with a thin off white head. Massive cheesy and resinous hops with some lovely fruit. Bitter finish. A little over the top. Straight forward but not amazing. jbrus (4842), Delft, Netherlands
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 20, 2008 Can@Home. Aroma of red grapefruit, orange and light grassy. Light hazy, amber color, beige head, good lace. Very sweet, very bitter, very fruity, obviously malty, grassy. Thick, syrupy, cloying, warming. Very nice balance.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jul 17, 2008 Fantastic beer, especially from a can. Nice dark amber color, big hop aroma. Very well balanced, nice and smooth too. Nice beer to take to the lake. ilovedarkbeer (1333), Dallas, Texas, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 17, 2008 Pours a deep amber color with a medium sized puffy off white head. Nose is floral, with some tobacco and cedar, and lots of very fresh malt, straight out of the grinder. Fairly hoppy. Mouthfeel is moderate and the finish is slightly acidic, warming, and somewhat lasting. The taste is hard to define. I would say wood, cherries, malt and pure bitterness. Very well balanced and not overdone in any aspect. Reminds me quite a bit of Alpha Kappa King from 3F.
