| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 11, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a golden amber color with a thick white head. Has a light sweet malt aroma. The flavor starts with sweet caramel malts and finish with mild citrus hops. Better than I thought it would be. hopdog (5617), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 28, 2008 12oz bottle (I think thanks to Miver). This one was sitting in my bar for a while - I acutally forgot about it. Light foamer when opened. Poured a medium and clear amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of toasted grains, caramel, nutty and some card board. Tastes of caramel, grains, and very light citrus. Tastes and body on the thin side. TheBeerGod (3171), Newport News, Virginia, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 31, 2008 Bottle. This is no longer made, to my understanding. The remaining stock at Brew Thru’s is the last of it. Pours gold. Small white head. Nose is lightly hopped with sweet malts, and caramel. Not too bad. Taste is slightly hoppy, grassy, light caramel, chewy malts and grains. Body is light-medium with moderate carbonation. Ends with more malt, faint caramel, bigger grains, light hops and grass. Not as horrible as I thought this would be. TheBeerLover (1019), DC Metro Area, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jan 30, 2007 12 oz bottle. Contract brewed for BrewThru, a small chain of drive though beer stores, found in the OBX, of NC. Pours to a beautiful, bright, deep amber color, with a thick and creamy white head, and a good bit of carbonation. The nose on this beer is very pleasing, with lots of good stewed and caramel malt aroma, with light flowery hop aroma. The palate is firm, with good sweet and caramel malt flavor, with a touch of estery fruit. This beer finishes with more good sweet and caramel malt up front, then ends with mild flowery hop bitterness. Very enjoyable, very drinkable beer. I really enjoyed the malt character in this one. Food friendly beer, that goes great with a lots of dishes, and a beer I enjoy every time I go on vacation to the OBX. Immy (1912), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 8, 2006 12 oz bottle from OldRaspy. Apparently, this is now brewed by St. George according to the label. Golden amber with a ring of a white head. Sweet malt and a slightly funky nut scent. Light hops present, but not prevalent. Nice mildly sweet malt flavor, plus a decent hoppiness. Well balanced overall. I really expected this to suck, but frankly, it doesn’t. IPFreely (1470), Lewiston, New York, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 26, 2004 Golden amber color, white head, slight haze. Sweet malty aroma, some detectable hops. Malt flavor starts you out with some good citrusy hops rounding it out. Lighter to medium body, fairly refreshing. Not bad, I expected much worse. Yankovitch333 (612), Chesapeake City, Maryland, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 12, 2003 I have friends that have a house in the Outer Banks and they brought this beer back. It pours a nice amber color, with a thick white head. Nice lacing. The aroma is sweet and malty. Lemon and hops on the tongue. This beer REALLY suprised me. I really wasn't expecting much, but this is a good beer. CAPTRON (8), POQUOSON, Virginia, USA does not count | 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 22, 2003 I tried this ale on a recent trip to the Outer Banks. I consider this to be a "gimmick" beer and did not expect a whole lot. I was pleasantly surprised. A refreshing summer brew perfect for the beach or pool on a hot day.
