| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 2, 2008 12oz bottle courtesy of my Summer 07 SS. Golden yellow/orange pour with a sudsy, bubbly white head. About 2 fingers thick with some decent drip lacing. Nose of skunky hops, citrus fruits, stale pale malts, cereal grains and adjunct sugars. Fore is heavily astringent, followed by citrus hops, dusty grains and malts, broken down sugars and some other fruity esters. Midway through I pick up an off flavor that I can’t put my finger on, but it’s not pleasant or welcome. Kind of fades away on the back end but it’s still there and drags the beer down. Light to medium bodied, slick palate and mouthfeel. Finish is better, some citrus hops, grains, sweet malts, honey and floral notes. GMCC2181 (856), Bear/Elkton, Delaware, USA

Aroma is floral and citurs consisting of tangerine and some leafy hops. Taste is up front with a mix of tangerine and mango, followed by some smooth malts, and finishes with some bitterness bite. Really quite enjoyable. adrian910ss (1410), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 24, 2008 Bottle at Chaucer’s Pub in London, ON-Pours a hazy yellow topped by a thin white fizz, calming down to a thin ring. In the nose, I get a lot of fruit. Grapefruit, lychee, some peach, and a touch of orange. Also there is a fair amount of leafy hops in the aroma (cascade, warrior?) and a touch of wood. The flavour profile is sweet fruit upfront, mainly lychee and peach, with some bready malty sugars, followed by some oaky notes, and finishes off with fresh basil, leafy greens. Nice bite in the finish.Quite assertive carbonation. Good. gpekar (223), Maryland, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Jan 21, 2008 This bottle was from a ST variety pack. Extraordinary, I don’t think so. It poured a golden yellow color with decent carbonation. There was a tall white foamy head and some bubbles rising in the glass. There was not much aroma at all. Not really strong enough to get any scents at all. The beer was crisp to the taste, but again lacked much flavor alexsdad06 (1080), Ohio, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 20, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a slightly hazy amber color with a medium sized fine white head. The aroma is semi sweet citrus with a presence of caramel malts and dough. The flavor is much of the same with the lightly sweet caramel malt being balanced by the citrus hops all leading to a dry bitter finish. Light to medium bodied.
