| 1.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Oct 20, 2001 This really isn’t made for Black Oak fans I don’t think. Some crispness, and perhaps a little more flavour and body than I originally gave it credit for, but I’m not going to pass up the Nut Brown for this. argo0 (6907), Washington DC, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 22, 2002 Nice body, golden with little head. Fruity malty spicy aroma. Spicy and sweet flavor. Good beer. CaptainCougar (5457), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Sep 28, 2003 Pours a clear fizzy golden with a bland musty old hops aroma. Light, crisp, semi-sweet body. Not as bad as a lot of American standards out there. MartinT (5055), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 1.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 4/20 | Jan 11, 2004 Scrawny cereal and limping citrus...Good lace retention over watery, sweet blandness...One for the father-in-law I'm afraid... Lubiere (4525), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Feb 15, 2004 Thick white foamy head which is persistant. Golden yellow coulour. Downhill from there, malty aroma with soapiness (and I dont use soap to clean my glass). Tart and lemony taste with barely any malt or hops to help. Average.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 11, 2003 A bit faint aroma, light initially on taste but grows on you while you drinking. Very interesting malt accent at the end with soft hop touch. Slightly nutty which is unusual for lagers of such type. jerc (3911), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jul 10, 2003 Nice head, and appearance. Nicely hopped. I am not a lager fan but this is enjoyable. Still prefer the Black Oak Pale Ale though! :) CapFlu (3482), Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Dec 17, 2003 (Bottle) Pours a large, white, quick dissipating head and a highly carbonated, golden body. Looks like ginger ale. Nose of doughy malt and slight hops nose and flavour. Lightly tart and fizzy. Average.
