| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 12, 2008 Pours a golden yellow color with a small lasting head. Has a nice aroma of hops, pine and citrus. Flavor is very hoppy with a hint malts but lacks the bitter aftertaste. A very good beer. polomagnifico (533), Saginaw, Michigan, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 11, 2008 Big thanks to ucusty for this one. 12oz bottle. Nice aroma of pine, citrus, catnip and some caramel malt. Medium amber hue thats clear and sparkling. Better than average sized off-white foamy head that mostly diminished and left fantastic lace. Flavor is caramel and citrus. Starts out kind of sweet then transitions into a pronounced bitterness. Crispy bitters with a lingering finish. Palate is medium bodied, light oil, and soft carbonation. A very good brew in my opinion. Well above average in every category. hellbilly (1508), scottsdale über alles, Arizona, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Apr 9, 2008 bottled 1/8/8 from ucusty... picture perfect clear copper pour with a thin off white head and light spotty lacing. aromas of fresh pine needles, grape aquanet hairspray, grass, lime zest, orange, a bit of caramel malt and something savory. low sweetness on the palate... flavors of earthy hops, light pine and citrus pith. malty sweetness doesn’t get in the way and muck up the hops... word. lightly bitter dry finish with lingering citrus. lively vibrant mouth feel from the almost tart prickly carbonation. jmikolich (405), Athens, Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 8, 2008 12oz, taste is of warrior hops which add substantial bitterness, however, the tastes is quite bright and citrusy, i really enjoyed this nice and floral. tompete (72), Burlington, Iowa, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Apr 5, 2008 Major cat box in the nose too harsh. Harsh bitterness and bad hop balance. Decently malty but not married well with the hops. Meh. Beershine (2686), Hue, Vietnam
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 5, 2008 Bottle, Merritt Island Throwdown. Orange-amber color with white foam. Oily palate. Pure hop infusion concentrated extract of hop mellowed and carried by good malt backbone and caramel plus toffee flavors. Very good brew. dmradus (225), State College, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 5, 2008 Fairly opaque dark orange, nice large big-bubble white head that lasts. Good lacing. Excellent balance in the nose: grapefruit, other tamer citrus notes like tangerine, quite flowery, sweet toffee. Taste is a bit tilted to the malt upfront: caramel sweetness, fruits, but in the mid-palate and finish the hops shine through in citrus and a rasping, lasting bitter aftertaste. High carbonation, nice and sessionable. popdoggy (100), USA
