| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 27, 2007 (Tap) Pours a copper color with little head. Light sweet aroma. Taste of sweet caramel, but nothing to balance it at all. Sweet finish. Also some metallic and off-notes in the aftertaste. I wouldn’t really classify this as an APA. Oh well, what else would you expect for $2/pint in downtown Chicago? mjg74 (2000), La Mesa, California, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | May 27, 2007 Bottle from Whole Foods. Pours a medium brownish color. Acidic aroma that is somewhat caramelized. Slightly malty flavor with a little bit of hop bitterness. Not a good APA. brewblackhole (1385), Muskego, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 25, 2007 Very light ,quickly disappearing caramel aroma, nice kiss of sweet caramel with a little tang and a mild bitter finish on the swallow,this is for the first sip only,it then flattens out quickly and becomes a brew of non -contemplation LtJudge (434), Muskego, Wisconsin, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 24, 2007 Thanks to brewblackhole for this one. Pours a nice copper color.Has a bready/grainy aroma. A suprisingly nice malty flavor greets you,but after the 3-4th sip that seems to fade away.somewhat of bitter finish. 17thfloor (1511), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 22, 2007 Updated: Jun 14, 2007Dusty aroma with some hints of citrus. Amber pour white head. Carbonation dissipates quickly. Strong carmal flavor but its kept in check by a small amount of hops, "buttery" is the perfect word to describe this. Slight bitter finish with lingering metallic after taste. Decent. Drew (2410), Kent, Ohio, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | May 21, 2007 Another bottle found near Cinci, Oct. 2005. Color is more of a golden-red ( a relief, I was thinking "Killians" type brew) , very short head, no lacing. Aroma was sweet with not even a hint of hop. Taste was sweet caramel with hint of diacetyl, very faint dusty hop finish. Palate was a bit grainy. doubelknv3 (568), Illinois, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Feb 24, 2007 Red colour with a lite hop aroma. Medium hops front to finish. Hints of carmel malts in the flavour, but nothing special. EithCubes (2172), Indiana, USA
| 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Jan 14, 2007 This brew’s 100th rating: Bottle. Light grass and citrus nose with caramel and overly sweet malt. Pale orange pour with a large, rocky lacing tan head and heavy obvious carbonation. Bitter start is quickly overwhelmed, and truly overwhelmed, by a surge of sweetness. Thin body alternates between oily and buttery and leaves a strange stale aftertaste. Caramel and light nuts are bested by grain. Aftertaste is strangely and unlikably funky. Down the drain.
