| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 3, 2009 bottle courtesy of coyotehunter, thank you! pours a very complex orange/coppery burnt sienna ruby with a minimal khaki colored head that leaves some lacing. aroma is very nice and light, very floral with delicate notes of grapefruit blanded with sweeter notes of green pine, with a lil buttery yeast underneath. some very light caramel malt notes as well. taste is very nice, very light, crisp, pungent yet refreshing. nice hop profile, both sweet and bitter, but both very light and nicely balanced. body is nice medium fullness, with a light effervescent feeling to set off the somewhat viscous oils of it. i really wish i could easily get this in summer, it would be one of my go to’s for a hot summer day when in need of quenching. deyholla (786), Bloomington, Indiana, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Oct 3, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark amber with a lasting light brown head that laced nicely. Aroma is full of hops giving both a pine forest note as well as citrus rinds. Flavor begins with citrus bang and finishes with a light piney note. Goes down amazingly smooth. My favorite APA. jbye4334 (719), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Sep 30, 2009 Great, complex blend of hops - pine, citrus, and earthiness. This is the best pale ale I’ve ever had. So smooth, but flavorful and full-bodied. I could - and would - drink this all day if I could get my hands on it more often. stobbe74 (714), Denmark
