| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 8, 2009 On tap at Toronado San Diego. Clear medium amber color with a one finger white head. Aroma is fresh hops, earth, citrus, grapefruit, and some caramel malt. Flavor is similar to the aroma with earth, citrus, and pine, very freshly hopped, with a little caramel malt backbone, although the hops dominate. Long bitter hop finish with medium body. A real palate wrecker.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 23, 2009 On tap @ 4:20, giallo oro antico, bellissima morbida e cremosa la schiuma, con una buona persistenza, i profumi del luppolo non eccedono come si potrebbe pensare, molto soft, ma l’amaro al palato viene fuori in maniera strepitosa, intenso ed aggressivo, agrumato e fruttato, la birra è molto secca,ma sono ben percettibili buone e fini note di malto.. ajm (976), Los Angeles, California, USA
