Hoppy, citrus taste with a lightly bitter, piney finish. Very smooth and drinkable. Caramel malt flavors in the background. A little different. curly (580), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 10, 2009 Dark amber with a thick tan head. Sweet citrus-lemon, tangerine, pineapple, aroma. Taste is pretty sweet but has a good bitter finish. Very nicely balanced and is rich in texture. daknole (2896), Plantation, Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 8, 2009 MMM good. Amber pour. Aroma is juicy, both with hops and some nice malt and evern some fruit. Flavor has a great backbone of malt, citrus hops and some tropical fruit flavors. This is a really cool take on the style. Fun beer. Oakes (8080), gone rambling, Vietnam
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 8, 2009 Golden-amber. A toasty nose with caramel malt, hints of herbs...but a bit better than that sounds. Citrusy, bright hops with toasty malts. Fairly firm body. Clean. Interesting. zizzybalubba (362), Elizabeth City, North Carolina, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 3, 2009 12 oz. bottle from Grape & Gourmet. Pours dark orange. Aroma of cut grass and citrus, very unlike a doppelbock. Taste is moderately hopped with sweet malt flavor. The mixture makes for an overly hoppy doppelbock and the hop flavor is not as pleasant as I would care for. It’s a decent beer but not one I would buy again. ScottyP (314), Brentwood, Tennessee, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 3, 2009 Butters Big Blowout tasting - Poors a clear copper. Aroma of floral hops and caramel malt, hint of citrus. Hop taste dominates. Malty sweetness sticks with you in the aftertaste. Enjoyable Doppebock MmmcKay (276), Brentwood, Tennessee, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 3, 2009 Butters cellar reduction tasting. Hmmmm. Almost like a half doppelbock, half pale ale. Hybrid beer. Amber, copper in color. Definitlely light citrus, sauvignon blanc aromas. The bitter hops dominate the palette without a doubt. The doppelbock charactistics are a little off balance in my opinion. Cool, very unique beer though. Butters (1646), Virginia, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 3, 2009 Bottle shared at Butters Big Blowout. Pours a clear burnt orange with fair ring of off white head. Pleasant floral and pineapple hop aroma. Flavor is a nicely balanced malty floral hop. Piney hop bitter finish. Interesting take on a typically malt dominant style. Like an american pale red ale actually. Could easily drink a sixer of this.
