| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 30, 2009 Deep golden color with a HUGE head. Citrus, pine hop aroma, with green apples, and biscuity golden malt, honey, and a touch of caramel. Bready, grainy malt, with cookies, a bit of caramel, citrus, grassy, hops, spice, honey. Rich and tasty. Sweet. Very refined and classy malt, with a nice bitterness at the finish. Very sweet, but tasty and balanced. Interesting malts. Dig it. StoutCat (85), Rockville, Maryland, USA

| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Nov 28, 2009 This beer pours a golden yellow with a large white head leaving good lacing down the sides (I actually poured this into a half yard glass though). initial aromas are skunky, clove, and a little leather. Not a very enticing aroma. The sip confirms the aroma. The taste is light, slightly bitter and not that good. Not a very good beer in my opinion. blutt59 (2107), Dallas, Texas, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 5, 2009 Bottle. Pours with massive pristine white head initially, fading to a more manageable and attractive layer atop the attractively honey coloured liquid. Perfumed hops to the nose, not atypical of your typical IPA, with malty notes. Not quite as sharp on the palate as your more customary IPA, and quite pleasant with it. A decent ale.
