| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 30, 2007 Toasty malt with slight caramel aroma. Pleasing autumn leaf color tending to fresh brewed ice tea. Flavor is balanced, smooth with a hint of maybe . . . butterscotch. The palate is both fizzy and a bit thick. This is an "old" standby for folks around here and deservedly so. redgold07 (308), Irving, Texas, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 28, 2008 Bottle at Johnny Mac’s Good Times Tavern, Rock Springs, WY. Nice concentrated (not overwhelming) nose: cherry skin, sweet malt, mild wheat. Flavors of the same, with a rather thick texture. Quite clean for a ’common’ beer.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 15, 2008 Updated: Mar 25, 2008Pours clear & copper, with very uneven and bubbling head, foaming away in the glass, slowly disappearing as I drink. Aroma of fruit compote, & toffee, not unlike many good English ales. First flavor notes are malts & caramel, leading to a moderate, slightly roasts (yum!) Some sips include a slightly papery flavor. Bitterness of medium length. Hops are on the subdued side. Very similar in flavor to Rogue Dead Guy Ale. Good drinking, but no epiphanies.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 12, 2003 A souvenir brought back by a friend from his Alaska vacation. Poured a pure amber color, had a rapidly diminishing white head. Citrus and a slight alcohol aroma. Slightly hoppy, sour flavor with plenty of malt to balance it off. I definitely enjoyed this, though I found the Summer Ale to be a bit more tasty. The Alaskan Brewing Company hasn't let me down yet!
