| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 18, 2009 (bottle) Huge, stiff off-white head and hazy, carbonaceous orange-gold body. Aroma is sweet grapefruit-fruity and floral-piney hops. Medium bodied. Not as sweet as I would have thought from the aroma; starts off a little soapy, but that turns into a medium but smooth bitterness. AskForJenny (632), Ontario, New York, USA

Hazy copper and tan head, Solid malt throughout supporting a good amount of hops. Bright floral nose and a seltzerlike finish from the bottle conditioning. I enjoyed this. elihapa (1044), Honolulu, California, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Mar 16, 2009 Bottle in FL. Pours hazy apricot with a medium sized head. Aroma is piney, soapy, with some esters. Palate is medium-thick, with nice soft carbonation and a long finish. Flavor starts soapy with some back-palate caramel malt. Mid-palate transitions with flowers and light grapefruit. Finishes hop-bitter, with a nice lasting bitter bite. Overall, a very well balanced ale with firm flavor and a refreshing finish. mitch1261 (12), Louisville, Kentucky, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 16, 2009 It pours a hazy golden color. The aroma of the hops is evident from the beginning. It has a nice sweet hoppy taste. It is a very flavorable beer, but a little lighter than the standard IPA. Great beer to drink! detroital (3), USA does not count | 5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Mar 13, 2009 My favorite beer in the whole world. Could be offensive to anyone who hates flowery brews. The perfect balance of all possible flavors in my opinion. I love it. kenncola (1), , North Carolina, USA does not count | 4.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 20/20 | Mar 11, 2009 Perfect balance of full flavor from beginning of front to back of the mouth - and top to bottom of the bottle. As everyone else says - drinkable. But especially fulfilling. Merrill (74), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Mar 11, 2009 The bright fresh aroma of wet hops and light citrus and banana accompany this cloudy, bright orange-amber beer. The white head has some fast lace as it lingers in a thin layer. Citrus and pepper hit your tongue in a creamy cascade that runs straight into the bitter-world. Ripe grapefruit with a tiny bit of Pez. All this complexity turns to faint hop bitterness in the finish without ever becoming harsh. joeneugs (308), Livermore, California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 9, 2009 Hazy golden color with a small white head. Aroma is bitter, citrusy hops. Tastes sweet and citrusy, not as bitter as some IPA’s can be. Very enjoyable and drinkable.
