| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 22, 2009 Lightly hazy amber, with a large but short-lived sudsy head. Ongoing effervescence, but little lace. Light citric hops aroma, but faint. First sip was disappointing, somewhat tannic malt profile with some stale-bread, but the beer bounced back from this bad first impression, as the malts shifted towards a brown-sugar sweetness, nicely rounded by piney malts, and some fruit esters, more strawberry than anything else. Still a little bread-crusty on the finish. Medium to full body. lumpsowers (252), Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Apr 19, 2009 Copper pour, medium head, heavy lace. Acrid pine aroma. Piney, hoppy brew. Nicely carbed. With a fruity apple flavor. Weird sweet after taste, some floral or strawberry?
