| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 11, 2009 A little lighter orange than your standard amber. Strangely nearly devoid of aroma, but what is there is extremely faint toasted malt. Rather predictable caramel-malty flavor, but still nice and toasty, maybe some aromatic malt? Quite tasty, with a hint of herbal hops. Gradually building bitterness.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Nov 12, 2009 Color is pale amber with a small head. Toasted, biscuit malt balanced by bittering hops. Pretty well-rounded, but I guess I just wished something stood out more about this beer. To be honest this beer is a bit tought to recall in light of the fact that I tried their Hop Head Red afterwards, which blew it away. auderale (572), Fairchild AFB, Washington, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Nov 12, 2007 Updated: Nov 13, 2007on draft at brewery, consumed on 11/12/07. Medium, cloudy amber color with nice carbonation. Aroma is malty with no detectable hops. Slightly astringent with good malt flavor, balanced with hoppy aftertatse. Nice, if unremarkable. riversideAK (2766), Shoreline, Washington, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 15, 2007 Aroma of slightly roasty caramel malt with noticable hoppiness too. Pours amber - go figure. Flavor is mostly some earthy caramel with some nice hops. I remember this one being more hoppy than malty. Medium bodied. Pretty regular. Chucks66 (84), Beachwood, Ohio, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 6, 2006 Nice amber color, mild hop aroma. Expected more maltiness and sweetness, almost tasted more like a pale ale. Nice hop character. On tap at the Yard House in Long Beach. DragonStout (1380), Pataskala, Ohio, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 23, 2006 BUY THE SHIRT FOR THIS BEER IN BLACK VERY COOL. Pours a deep, rich chestnut hue, mostly clear within yet still resistant to light passing through. Topped by a thin, fine and creamy tan head, it leaves top-shelf lacing behind in the glass. Nose is on the light side, yet still shows some toasty malt characteristics with a mild, floral hoppiness. Body was a middle of the road medium, and was light on carbo, passing fairly smoothly over the tongue.Had some light caramel sweetness initially hitting the palate. Formed a decent base upon which some solid layers of hops were heaped. It was quite floral overall, with yummy fruity notes as well. The lupulins stick well in the mouth and are quite long-lasting. Hit the spot nicely...
