| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 16, 2008 Pours slightly hazed amber with a bit of white head. Sort of an orange hop aroma with some buttery malt. Flavor is citrus and caramel. Pretty easy drinking. I would drink it again if I end up in Canada. Shag (1923), Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Dec 7, 2008 This poured an amber color with a beige head. The aroma contains some citrus, caramel, and a yeasty presence. The flavor is well balanced. I taste some citrus mainly lemons and grapefruit but also get more yeasty notes along with some caramel and toffee. This one seems to walk the line between being an APA and an EPA. But regardless its a different beer and quite good.
