| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 7, 2007 Draft at the restaurant. Pours a crystal clear coppery amber with a slim white rim that leaves no lace and doesn’t stick around. Fairly subdued attack; even the body and carb are on the medium side. Very malty sweet mid-palate--not sure where it’s all coming from, because it doesn’t seem (while it’s still kinda chilly) to have much company. Nice hollow piney notes at the end--but not too strong. It’s all just so understated. Comes to life a little bit as you work through it. Curious note of wintergreen on the mid as it warms. BeerPrince (1701), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 23, 2006 Copper, slight haziness and white minimal head. Aroma of hops and some floral note. Hops dominate the fllavour although a tad thin without enough malt backing. FInishes bitter. drismyhero (815), Tacoma, Washington, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 7, 2005 As expected, this carried with it a very strong hop profile - not overly fresh in nature, but kind of minty. The strong alchohol gives the illusion of peppermint when combined with the bright hops; similarly, the aroma is actually quite spicy while simnultaneously sweet. An interesting combination, expanding hop options.
