JaPe (69), Toronto, Ontario, Canada 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.
ChainGangGuy (1721), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Nov 27, 2008 16.9 oz. bottle for $3.79 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours a clear, medium amber body with a frothy, inviting, off-white head. Thin traces of lacing.
Smell: Toasted grains with a bit of caramel alongside a spicy-scented, fragrant hop aroma.
Taste: Biscuity malts with a touch of graininess and caramel sweetness. Sip of black tea. Very, very faint fruitiness. Spicy, floral English hops. The bitterness is initially mild but resilient, and increases as you head towards the dry, bittersweet finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: A rather full-flavored session ale with a keen drinkability. Worth a try. AWS9 (136), Mississauga, Ontario, Canada Nov 20, 2008 Bottle at Pub Italia in Ottawa. Cool bottle. Nice brown appearance. Nuts and malt in the taste, perhaps a little thin. Pretty good. daknole (1131), Plantation, Florida, USA Nov 15, 2008 Ok this was a drainpour for me and everyone that tried it. it barely tasted better than a miller. i dont get how this can have a rating above a 3. no way. mgermani (649), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Nov 2, 2008 Pours a clear amber-orange with a brief head falling to a lingering ring of foam. Alcoholic, white grape & slightly funky hop aroma. Stale malt and funky hop taste, carastan cereal & Kentish goldings. Finish <i>is</i> long, but compromising in taste (more of the stale malt extract taste). Moderate carbonation. Towards the end a fly flew into the glass and died, but it didn’t seem to improve the flavour any. Interesting but quite far from fresh. mesperon (38), Jersey City, New Jersey, USA Oct 31, 2008 foggy amber, medium foamy head. Very faint aroma of mildy swwet malt, hay, and grassy hops. Flavor of bready malt, mild grassy hoppy itterness. Little pepperiness from alcohol. Boring in general, nothing especially pleasant or interesting about it.
