Tap@Brewpub. Herbal, light nutty and malty aroma. Amber colour, beige head, good lace. Malt sweet, bitter, herbs, grassy finish. Medium and soft body. Powerful yet easy going.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 JAXSON (356) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 3, 2009
Bottle. Pours a nice clear reddish amber. Slight pinesol in the nose, some kuted hops. Taste is clean and pleasant, but the flavors are just kind of muted. This was enjoyable but not really great by any stretch. Thanks Alex!

Bomber. Hazy orange pour with a small white head and pretty good lacing. Pine and floral hops, albeit somewhat faded, and caramel. Flavor was floral, some bitterness, and a bit of caramel sweetness.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 BMan1113VR (6145) - Los Angeles, California, USA - APR 30, 2009
Pours with a small off-white head over a gazed orange body. Good lace left by the head. Aroma of tangy, orange, pacific northwest hops, sticky caramel and some grainy malt. Taste is malty with a bitter, lingering finish. Bittered orange taste, and slightly soggy malts. Creamy-ish mouthfeel, light bubbles.
3.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 twitcher (298) - framingham, Massachusetts, USA - APR 19, 2009
bottle.
Pours a clear, deep burnished copper color, small half inch of thick chunky white head that stays around forever. Muted, almost nonexistent aroma- some light notes of pine and faint toasted caramel. Flavor starts with sharp, earthy bitterness. Following the nose, notes of pine resin; some fresh cut marigolds and other floral notes, dry semi-sweet toasted malts. Malt shows some nutty notes as well. Palate is light and clean, with nothing lingering on the aftertaste. Decent beer, but seems much closer to an ESB as opposed to an IPA. Decent, but does not achieve it’s aim.

Pours deep amber into a shaker. Off-white micro head meringues and islands leaving spotted sheets. Sweet caramel and grapefruit aromas. Thin yet crisp - grapefruit and resin. Mild alcohol in the dry finish.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 mmmbeer (987) - Austin, Texas, USA - APR 8, 2009
22 oz. bottle served in shaker- poured half transparent copper orange color, low carbonation, extremely thin ring of white bubbles around the edge of the glass and wisps atop the liquid surface for a head. Aroma of floral and citrus, malt, and- oh yeah, hops. Hits the mouth with a very enjoyable high-medium body, malt laced with a faint sweetness initially greets you but that hop wave comes rolling in, holds up well in the middle, acidic and slightly bitter finish. Solid brew- and it killed my hop desire I had as of late.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20 alexanderj (2829) - Gilbert, Arizona, USA - APR 7, 2009
On tap at Pike in Seattle. Color was a clearish amber/orange. Aroma was really great; flowers, biscuit malt, and citrus. Flavor was not quite as stellar, but still really tasty. Citrus, bread and flowers. Good stuff overall.
