| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 12, 2009 Bottle at tasting at work. Alround rating: Pale busicty malts, but dusty(though its not bottle conditioned?), grassy hops. Boring stuff. CaptainCougar (5457), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 26, 2009 Bottle shared by peregrinari: Transparent deep golden with a frothy, well-lacing off-white head. Aroma of semi-sweet toasty pale malt with some grassy English hops and light oxidation. Starts with a lightly sugary sweetness and some grassy hop bitterness before a drier, thin finish. Pretty bland, but drinkable. JoeMcPhee (5000), Jackson Heights, New York, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 10, 2009 Pale golden pour with a thick, sticky white head. The nose is quite crackery with a little bit of light orange peel. There is a really nice marmalade-like sweetness. A kiss of earthy hoppiness with a lingering cologne-like spiciness. Nice balance with a touch of soft fruitiness mingling with the crackery sweetness. I quite like this. Cornfield (4938), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 15, 2009 Bottle from the Trader Joe’s in Orland Park, IL: Nice pour, a deep golden body with a two-fingered head and modest lacing. The aroma is bready and grainy with a dollop of honey and some drying grass bitterness. It tastes of honeyed bread with an herbal/grassy bitterness. Crisp finish, slightly dry. A good sessionable beer. JPDIPSO (4906), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 27, 2009 Light amber to golden in color. Taller beige head. Grainy, near corn silage scents. Herbal hops and scone aromas underneath. Fairly light in feel. Now I’m tasting the graininess with a bit of corn and creamed peas. Grassy to herbal hops in the middle. Finish and linger have a bit of burnt caramel. Some odd tastes that throw this one. Tmoney99 (4739), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 21, 2009 Bottle from Trader Joe’s, Cincy.
Poured clear golden color with large white head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Moderate grainy and small malt aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture and soft carbonation. Medium balanced flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration.
Good drinkable session brew. Braudog (3762), Dayton, Ohio, USA
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Feb 13, 2009 Bottle from Trader Joe’s; Poured a bronzed copper color, with just a quick fizzle of carbonation. The aroma is somewhat funky, grassy perhaps. It drinks with a soda-like mouthfeel, tightly bubbly. Not much of a strong character to describe, just a moderately malty flavor and a acidic grassiness over the top. (#3494, 2/13/2009)
