| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 18, 2007 Bottle sampled on 6/30/07: Pours a transparent copper amber with a thin, wispy-lacing off-white head. Aroma of earthy resiny grapefruity hops and some grainy malt. Body starts somewhat thinner and grainy with a touch of toasted malt and earthy hops toward a thinner, blander finish. hopscotch (5507), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Jul 24, 2007 Bottle... Hazy orange ale with a mid-sized, rocky, off-white head. Terrific retention. The nose is a malt-bomb of caramel, milk chocolate, praline, toasted chestnuts and cashews. The flavor is mostly malty up front with more gobs of caramel along with praline and brown sugar, but then an unwelcome acidity kicks in. Don’t know if the bottle’s infected, unique or oxidized. Not entirely unpleasant, but not nearly what it could be. Fortunately for me, I dig sour shit. Medium-bodied and creamy, then tannic and dry with lively carbonation. Lightly malty, moderately acidic finish. Dries out entirely! This is either contract-brewed by Jolly Pumpkin or there’s a bug in the jug! I’ll pretent it’s contract brewed by The Pumpkin!

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 24, 2007 Bottle courtesy of footbalm. Pours copper with a thin ring of white bubbles. Smells of sweet malt and citrus. Taste is nutty with hints of butter, fruit, nuts and dough. Run of the mill even for an amber, but drinkable and the label’s great.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 12, 2007 This has a bright amber body with a modest head that lingers none too long. The aroma is malty and fruity (apples, cherries) with a light herbal edge. It’s sweet and fruity to taste, but unfortunately the bitterness recedes to the point that it becomes a bit too sweet for my tastes.
