| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 2, 2008 Poured red/amber color, tall head and nice malty aroma. Very refreshing light, malty flavor. Good over all ale. crazyvin (1254), New York, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 27, 2008 Poured a clear amber color with a thin white head that had no retention. Aroma was a mix of grassy notes and some bitter hops. Hops seemed light in the aroma, but were heavily present in the flavor. Finish was dry. beerinmarch (2829), Washington, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jan 25, 2008 Pours mildly cloudy orange with a tall white head. Fruity malt nose, with a dry earthy hop finish. Very soft on the palate, crisp in the finish. Hops are dominant, but not overpowering, allowing the malts to bring a bread and fruit character into the hopped finish. mabel (2626), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 22, 2008 [1056-20080119] 500mL. Wheaty hay aroma has a bit of wet grains and slightly skunky corn. Clear, dark amber brown body with a quick foamy white head. Grainy bitter floral alcohol flavour. Medium body is bitter. Strange bitter bite. oldPeculiarHen (14), East Yorkshire Coast, England
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 20, 2008 Very enjoyable beer. Nice malty and hoppy taste. Very ’agreeable’, but not boring. Fantastic bitter taste. altonbrownd (1957), Amsterdam, Netherlands
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 19, 2008 Bottle in London. Amber colour with big head. Hoppy. Sweet, taste of marsepin. Dry finish. Very smooth and enjoyable. dkoonce (889), People’s Republic of Athens, Ohio, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 19, 2008 Bottle. Beautiful clear, copper in color, with a tall creamy head. The aroma is malt and raw wheat, with a fruit hop note. A bit fizzy in the mouth, with a smooth flavor that’s not too heavy. A really good bitter, for a bottled beer. Seems that bottled bitters never seem to live up to the drought versions JaPe (69), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Jan 19, 2008 Nice and easy like a plain beer. But not boring - sort of a strong bold bitter beer entrance with a weak beer ending. One expect s bitter and sweet to fight but your just left with a gentle mildly malt flavor in your mouth. Good stuff.
