[1] Review by Clash from Chattanooga, TN, USA who has tried this beer once. (10/21/2008 11:23:41 PM)
"An amber color with a small white head. The aroma contains some citrus, alcohol, cherries and caramel. The flavor is a bit on the boozy side with a marked sweetness. I get some raisins, cherries, citrus, caramel, and vanilla extract. The hop presence is there but it seems to be more in the sweet English mold. Overall a nice beer!"

[2] Review by jlozier from Lone Pine, CA, USA who has tried this beer once. (6/9/2007 5:59:39 PM)
"2006 release. A pretty clear amber with minimal head. Smells floral with grapefruit. Has a strong, yet even, blend of maltiness and grapefruit hops. The finish is extra clean with minimal aftertaste/residual bitterness. Under all that is the slight smell/taste and warmth of alcohol; at 10.2%, this is to be expected. I would think attempting to completely cover the alcohol with other "stuff" (probably more grapefruit) would not yield such a drinkable beer. I really like the evenness of this beer. The malts are right there on the tongue, not buried under a landslide of hops. A very yummy treat, indeed."

"This to break in my new wide mouth glass...An orange color, a lingering head. Its smooth really in mouthfeel and flavor w/ fine bubbles. Body was a touch thin though....A Mint-ish pine aroma and sweet orange peel. The taste got very mellow with a light, 'easy' flavor in fact for B/W...Light sweet candy malt in nice balance with sappy hops....I cant fault this, its good beer, just not as interesting as some."

"Bottle. Poured a cloudy purple-brown color with a light, white head. Strong aroma of malt, alcohol, caramel, and fruit (raisin). Flavor is very malty with a caramel/fruit kick to it. Bitter, red-wine like aftertaste. Thanks, Stoutlover72."
