| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 13, 2009 12oz bottle. Poured a medium and clear amber color with an averaged sized off white head.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 13, 2009 Bottle shared by nuplastikk: Pours a transparent copper amber with a thin, stringy-lacing white head. Aroma of citrusy grassy noble hops and a touch of grainy semi-sweet pale malt. Starts with decent body and mild caramel sweetness with some mild rye flavor before a drier, grainy finish with some light citrusy hops. A pretty drinkable and balanced brew, but nothing special.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 13, 2008 Amber-copper coloured brew. Aroma is quite hoppy and grassy with a light nutty malt character as well. Slightly lemony and citrusy with a bit of nice crisp rye spiciness. There is a bit of cherryish fruitiness as well. Quite nicely balanced, spicy and fruity. Herbal/spicy hoppy bitterness. Lightly resiny. It’s pretty nice. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 13, 2009 Pours deep copper with 1-finger off-white head. Nose is caramel malt, not much else. Tastes of caramel malt, bittering hops, with slight brown sugary notes, yet is stays malty and unidimensional. Not a repeater for me, and not a great beer. goldtwins (4080), Nesconset, New York, USA

Caramel malt aroma with a touch of fruit. The flavor was also caramel and malty with a light fruitiness. Mild hops on the finish. Semi-dry.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jul 19, 2009 Bottle (12oz). Clear bubbly amber-gold with a lasting fizzy straw-coloured head (4-). Smells of moderately roasty bready grain and light herbal bitterness, maybe a hint of extract-tang. Taste - ew, metal, pvc, cheap hop oil, caramel grain backing it up - ehhh. Fairly thick body, slick, weak carbonation, stick and a little harsh in the aftertaste, like dead grass or something. Dug the smell though.
