| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | May 28, 2005 Updated: Aug 24, 2005Bottle (341ml) - and (formerly) draught at Charlotte Room. It’s an ale. Better than macros, but nothing special. Reddish amber in colour, mild aroma that might charitably be called "malty", overall a bit watered-down tasting, not much linger, forgettable on the palate. I (used to) drink it at my favourite billiard hall - it’s that or Caffrey’s on tap. Or Keith’s "IPA" ... dirtymike (2018), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 13, 2005 Sort of a baseline for what is acceptable - decent aroma, tinge of hops, sweet but not overpowering...
But unexceptional in every way. BobBarley (12), Canada
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Feb 9, 2005 This is not a great beer, and it is not a lousy beer. What it is is the best cheapish domestic I have found in my search for a decent house beer. I love Sam Smith, Fuller’s, Aventinus, Blanche de Chambly and many more. But I am a broke college kid. A college kid needs beer with some regularity, but I don’t often want to go much cheaper than this. pintbypint (1021), Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
