| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 23, 2008 Courtesy TBC. Clear copper. Small white head. Big juicy hop aroma- resinous, lightly spicy tangerines and grapefruits backed by some pale malt sweetness. I love amarillo hops. Same flavors. Nice showcase for these two hops. Medium/full body, balanced carbonation, a little sticky, very drinkable for the abv. I would have loved to taste this the day it was bottled. kyzr (1122), Belgrade, Montana, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 23, 2008 Bottle thanks to ogglethorp. Copper color with decent white head. Nose of sweet citrus fruit, and a hint of malt. Big grapefruit hit up front with a tanging hoppy bite throughout. Balance of slightly roasted malt that helps smooth the warmth of the alcohol. Really a nice mouthfeel from start to finish. jefcon (998), Arlington, Virginia, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 19, 2008 Pours an intriguiing uniform orange-gold. Faint white head. Aromas of orange, grass, lemon, rye and perfume are tone-perfect. Soft palate, accented by a gentle bite of hops and astringency and rounded out by a full grapefruit, lush hop finish. Really a very good American strong that nods to the Belgian classics. chicagodri (1041), Chicago, Illinois, USA
