| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 17, 2009 Draught at the brewpub during RBSG09. Deep gold color with a lasting white head. Honeyish and bready malt and citric hop aromas. Pretty evenly balanced bready malt and citric and lightly piney hops with a bitter finish. Medium-light bodied with medium carbonation. Not too hoppy, but a good easy-drinking pale. illidurit (889), Santa Cruz, California, USA

Aromas of pale malt, light C-hops. Pretty floral and somewhat juicy. Flavor is weakly hoppy with a dough pale malt finish that isn’t very refreshing. Semidry finish, decent drinkability.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 30, 2009 Bottle, pours a nice light copper color, with a long lasting frothy white head. Solid, solid flavor, great hops, slightly sweet malts. Haven’t had a bad Bear Republic brew yet, in fact everyone I have tried has been great. swanmann (308), Norman, Oklahoma, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 24, 2009 From the bottle, initially poured a clear brassy amber jewel, with sustained light tan effervescence. Smells of alcohol, near ammonia and citrus rind with damp grains. A bit of aspirin bitterness and metallic twang floats atop medium-full bodied toastiness. The finish lingers a little, and a touch of sweetness comes out with warming. Delicious and balanced. I’m so happy Bear Republic is now available in my neck of the woods! swoopjones (1907), Buffalo, New York, USA
