| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 10, 2009 Bottle given to me by Boudreaux. Dark amber color with creamy white head. Notes of malty grain, caramel, fruit, slight hops. Citrus and sour biscuit dough flavors, combined with a bitter hops aftertaste. Spice and light fruit round it out. Not as watery to me, as others have suggested. Not a powerful winter brew, but not drain pour by any means. Decent. Swalden28 (1515), McKinney, Texas, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 7, 2009 Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX.
Pours a almost hazy amber with beige head. Has a nice little aroma of earth and caramel. Flavor is ok, some caramel, obvious hop flavor with some bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium but still feels slightly watery, high carbonation. Overall, decent beer, but the type of hop bitterness in this brew kinda gave it a nasty aftertaste.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 3, 2009 Tap at Standing Bar. Deep amber beer with a thin white head. Aroma is a little bit buttery with a soft malty character. A little bit fruity and a little bit spicy. A light earthy character as well. It’s kind of an indistinct brew, but it’s decent enough. jredmond (1068), New Jersey, USA
