Aroma features floral bouquet. Palate was dry, a touch thin, and sticky on the finish. Primary flavors transitioned, from flowery hops on the front-palate, to a nice sweetness with fruit, to a hoppy, slightly ashen finish. Overall, this was quite nice, but lacking the vibrancy of say, GD’s Fresh Hop. hillfiiiiire (286), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 15, 2008 Pours a golden yellow with a thinnish white head that leaves some pretty solid lacing. The aroma is gentle citrus hops and a little grapefruit with a little caramel sweetness. Flavor is quite gentle with citrus hops making themselves known. Finish lasts for a good fruity while. Quite enjoyable beer. Lothore (276), California, USA

S- Smell is light bready maltiness accompanied by a strong burst of hops.
T- Taste is bready, sweet with an intense bitter hop kick at the end. Very dry.
M- semi viscous, very carbonated and super dry, leaves the tongue seconds after it is ingested except for a bitterness.
D- Semi drinkable, I could drink this glass easily but I didn’t want another after. imadeadguy (378), back in NJ!, New Jersey, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 26, 2008 Pours a nice looking orange/yellow color with a nice white head and good lacing on the glass.
Aroma is almost like sniffing a sweetened grapefruit while standing in a Christmas tree lot. There are a lot of different hops in this one, and they’re all playing in the nose of this beer.
Flavor is a little sweet, but there are a lot of hops in this one. Backend is almost like a sour orange. the hops in this are almost overwhelming, but I think the malt backbone is just strong enough to support it. Good beer. Challenging beer. kiefdog (1655), Tampa, Florida, USA

Pronounced citrusy and fruity hop flavors over a light pilsner or other malt backbone with some fruity yeast character. Fairly full mouthfeel with some residual hop bitterness in the finish and some alchohol warming. Nicely balanced Hoppe beer.
