| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Oct 6, 2007 Tasted 9/21/07. 12oz bottle. Filtered with a dull golden hue. Clinging white head. Cascade nose. Notes of grapefruit pine and citrus. Medium bodied but with a full palate! Great initial dose of malts. Subtle caramel bready malts followed smoothly by a quick blast of watery coffee acidity. Total IPA! Smooth transition from mild to bitter to sticky to acidic. Palate pleaser. Tart and sour. Impressive! tarjei (1762), Bryne, Norway

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 24, 2007 Bottle: Pours a dark golden color with lots of bubbles and a large, foamy white head. Thick lacing. Nose of citrus and piney hops, plenty of malty sweetness. Taste is more malty than the aroma lets on, smooth with floral and piney hops in the tail. Dry, lingering finish. Lacks flavor up front. Thanks Jordan! ElGaucho (1730), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Sep 28, 2007 Bottle. Fresh, fruity aroma with mild hop aspect. Nice. Clear amber with steady carbonation. Big, off-white head with excellent lace. Piney and somewhat doughy mouthfeel. Good balance. Not spectacular but an excellent session brew with no flaws. Less full bodied than the flagship SNPA. Too bad this is a special brew that will be going away. Underrated (macro-bias). Ethereal (1710), London, Greater London, England
