| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 14, 2006 Cloudy orange, thin white head. Citrusy aroma, maybe even a hint of banana, with a touch of pine and mint. Very earthy flavors. Much more resiny hop flavors with a dirty malt backbone. Surprisingly few citrus note considering how fuity the aroma was. Thanks to Oakes for the trade. mds (2112), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Yeasty cheese aroma along with the expected fruity hops and pine. Fruity and hoppy flavours with a touch of bread malt balance. Caramel sweetness towards the finish. Pretty solid.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 19, 2006 Overload on the hops! This beer will beat down anything you had to taste before it in an instant. The hop doesn’t last TOO long, but wow! If I didn’t know that it was a beer I don’t think I’d be able to identify it in a blind taste test. Citrusy pine and a touch of sweetness.

Amber, gold, fine carbonation, large fizzy head sweet malt, clean hop nose, simple but it works for me. Very bitter front, green leaf. Bitter-sour finish, with shy malt work.

Resiny hop nose, lots of orange blossom and caramel malt - nice! Flavour holds a solid balance of grapefruity hops and sweet malt.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 18, 2006 Bottle shared with HogTownHarry & tupalev -- courtesy of tupalev. Pours a clear bubbly orange with a small diminishing white head. Very nice aroma of hops, hops, hops! Fresh citrus hops nicely balanced with some sweet malt. Flavour’s also nice and hoppy but a tad thin -- great lasting bitterness to it though. Wow, this was a nice surprise and a great way to start our tasting. A solid IPA.
