| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 1, 2009 Bouteille de 24 oz. Arômes de houblon résineux et de malt caramel. Robe rousse et claire, belle effervescence et belle mousse. En bouche, un malt caramel moyennement rond supporte une belle présence de houblon aromatique (agrumes et résine). Finale moyennement amère. thirdeye11 (501), Texas, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 31, 2009 ( 24oz bottle) pours orange with huge fluffy and oily head that lasts forever and great lacing. Nose of bread, pine hops, citrus, orange blossom honey, and other tropical fruits. Taste is very spicy hops, white pepper, citrus rind oils and a nice malt backbone. This is quite nice. A little less bitter and I think it would be superb. Even the oily body is just right. mettkea (6), Minnesota, USA does not count | 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 31, 2009 Poured from the 24 ounce bottle into a shaker. Nice amber color with a nice fresh hop aroma. Nice malty taste with a hoppy aftermath. Very good IPA! PhatB420 (128), Pittsfield, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 30, 2009 I just dont feel right adressing this as an IPA but nonetheless, it is a great brew for the times here people. The fllowing cascade of hops benefits from a superb backbone of malts. Bring it home and enjoy. bsp77 (202), Minnesota, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 29, 2009 Poured from bottle into Nonic Imperial Pint.
Rich dark amber with frothy root beer float like head that leaves massive lacing lines.
Aroma of citrus, spice and toasted malt. Smells like a standard APA - Disappointing.
Mix of pine, toasted malt, citrus and spice. The best part about the beer is that it doesn’t begin malty and then turn hoppy or vice versa; just a nice mix throughout, although nothing really stands out. Leaves a long bitter aftertaste.
Moderate carbonation, somewhat smooth medium body, nice dry finish.
Overall, not nearly as fresh or juicy as the Founders Harvest or as interesting as the Southern Hemisphere. This just seems like a solid APA/IPA hybrid. Very good, but expected more. italianjohn (346), Bensalem, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 29, 2009 Clear dark amber/orange pour with off white tan head lacing floral hop aroma with an equal caramel malt and hoppy piney citrus taste ... if you like a very balanced IPA this is for you.... it is very tasty not overly hoppy so the malt flavors are noticable ... a solid and drinkable brew vtafro (469), , New Jersey, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Oct 28, 2009 Draft @ Hulmeville Inn. Feel like this is almost the same beer as the harvest just a half step lower in flavor . Nice IPA. swanmann (305), Norman, Oklahoma, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Oct 27, 2009 I poured gently from the bottle, down the middle, a clear, tawny amber brew with fluffy, well sustained, light tan head. It smells of wonderfully fresh piny hops, also quite the definite caramel character. The flavor is so clean. Adequate carbonation conveys a malty sweet brew which opens into citrus rind fruitiness with a lush bitter finish. Absolutely delicious.
