| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 28, 2009 Pours a golden color with a thin white head - very little lacing. Aroma of malt, hops and some grasses. A balanced flavor with a slight citrus taste - easy drinking but not not much substance to thsi one. corby112 (757), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Aug 28, 2009 Pours a clear golden yellow color with a thin foamy off-white head that immediately fades into a very thin ring that eventually disappears leaving no lacing.
Floral hop aroma with a slight malt presence and a very unpleasant vegetable presence that is very off-putting.
Clean and crisp with a subtle hop bite. Very watered down with very little malt backbone and a slight dry finish. One dimensional and very unimpressive. This was a pretty big let down from a brewery that I usually enjoy very much. ROGUE (676), Newark, Delaware, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 12, 2009 On tap at brewery. Pours a deep gold and copper color with an off white head that is one finger thick. Smell is light hops and not much else. Taste boasts a malted thickness with a bit of hop bitterness in the finale. Mouthfeel is smooth, with a crisp bite from the moderate carbonation. pineypower (1104), Pine Barrens, New Jersey, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 9, 2009 Thanks to Dmac for this bottle. Pours out a clear, well carbonated light amber color with a small white head. Aroma is of some bready grains and some grassy hops. Taste is clean with bread and grain notes, some grassy hops and a sweet malt touch in there too. Good brew from a style I find rather boring sometimes. troyc (1175), Lubbock, Texas, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 6, 2009 [Bottle] Pours a deep amber color with plenty of foamy white head. Aroma of light hopping and some biscuit/bread. Taste is pretty much identical with a grassy and slightly floral finish. Dry and a little sweet overall. Not bad. dimenhetfield (202), , Florida, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 31, 2009 Very nice pour, no foam. Very smooth taste. The appearance was a little too clear for my taste. I look for that darker hazier appearance. Overall, very pleasant. GJF (509), Cedar Rapids, Iowa, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 25, 2009 Pretty straightforward ESB. I’m a big Avery fan, but this one’s not up to their standards. Generally sweet with a bit of tang in the finish. Malty with a citrusy hop flavor. Finish is dry. A little spritzy. dmac (1500), Toms River, New Jersey, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 17, 2009 12 oz bottle from EZ Liquors. Poured a slightly hazed orange body underneath a slightly foamy average sized white head. Aroma is lots of bread, slight toffee, grass notes and some citrus. Palate has very assertive carbonation over a dry body and a slightly thicker mouthfeel. Flavor of grain and cereal, slight citrus and toffee. Drinkable but one bottle would have been sufficient of this but now I have five more to do something with.
