| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 10, 2009 Batch2. Golden/orange pour with a fluffy white head and lace.

Murky deep orange copper with a wispy off white head. Sweet fruity aroma- some honey, vanilla and prune- evident residual sugars. Slick feel with a sweet and spicy flavor. Honeyish maltose leads to an abrupt bitterness reminiscent of peppery apple skins. Not well integrated. Dickinsonbeer (3494), Hoboken, New Jersey, USA

Pours a hazy deep orange amber with an average off white head- diminishing slightly. Aroma is oxidized, medium burnt bourbon barrel notes, sweet creamed corn DMS, turning to slight baby diaper- what is that called in homebrew speak?- some spice and earth as well with moderate caramel sweetness. Flavor is dull, oxidized, brown paper bag- diaper, DMS, caramel - ropey, earth, leather and old stale rotting fruits. Not a fan. GJF (508), Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Aug 10, 2009 This really didn’t work for me. Poured a very muddy brown and the taste was similar. Not much nose to it and the flavor was an unbalanced sweetness with a muddy quality. Meh. Tmoney99 (4769), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

Poured hazy orange with an average frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate spice, fruity and yeast aroma. Medium body with sticky texture and soft carbonation. Medium sweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration.
This beer goes well with the onion rings at the Deluxe Grill. Cletus (5057), Connecticut, USA
