| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 8, 2004 Pours a cloudy dark orange with a small amount of white head that falls quickly. malty aroma with a nice hop tone. Taste is sweet and malty at first then the hops bring on a bit of a bitter taste towards the end, smooth and crisp. I.C.suds (187), Da U.P. eh?, Michigan, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 7, 2004 Sampled on tap at Lake Tahoe. Richer carmel and toast maltiness than most ambers. Tasty, crisp hop but not overbearing. One of the best in the west. jasonp (1513), Sterling/Dulles, Virginia, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | May 5, 2004 Updated: Mar 25, 2005Nice brew. Pours a cloudy dark amber with an off-white head. Malty aroma. Taste is very nicely balanced; there’s caramel malt and some citrus with a definite hop presence. Mouthfeel is very full and round leaving a nice bitter aftertaste. Good carbonation with a hearty feel and good alcohol presence. Very satisfying. Recommended. Pigfoot (2226), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 24, 2004 Thick, creamy head, and a dark coppery color. Questions of style heredity swim around my brain. Is it an American version of German altbier, or English bitter? They already have an example of the latter, but, no matter...
Aroma is soft, citrusy, but mild. Good hops, good bite and texture, adequate malt, light body, very smooth and easy to drink. Some dischord in the finish. Altogether fine, but not memorable.
