| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 24, 2007 Bottle, at London tasting session, March 2007. Truth be told, I found this a little disappointing. Cloudy orange colour. Very malty aroma - tending toward bready. Just a touch of clammy hop. Sweetish on the palate. Again more malt than hop, leaving it feeling a bit short of grip. As some others who tried it at the tasting have suggested, this seemed a bit tired to me. Distinctly lacking in the hoppy zing that I’ve come to expect from US beers. I’d better give this another shot some time.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 22, 2007 A sweet caramel/toffee aroma. The beer is a dark reddish amber color. More sweet toffee flavor with a mild balancing hoppiness. Medium bodied. Sweet and smooth. A nice beer. jarspag (600), Los Angeles, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 22, 2007 In bottle and draft - taste of a little brown sugar and caramel was the highlight. Medium bodied and left a lot of lacing, which looked nice. Not a bad brew at all - nice balance and very drinkable. bgburdman9 (823), Columbus, Ohio, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 16, 2007 Nice balance of hops and malt. Less carbonated than other brews which made it very smoothe. Aroma was of hops and citrus with hints of roasted caramel. Taste was very smoothe with a bit of a bitterness finish. Not overpowering. Good solid brew. duff (5475), Surrey, Greater London, England
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 7, 2007 Bottle. Not bad at all. Some nice caramelly malt, with some grainy malt notes. Nice citrusy, ever so slightly floral hop notes, with some nice bitterness in the finish. Quite well balanced and very drinkable.
