| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Oct 16, 2008 12oz bottle. poured a clear medium orange color. The head was soapy and off white. It reduced almost immediately to a thin film that hung around. The aroma wasn’t all that inviting. Hay and biscuits mostly with whiffs of wet stone and cooked vegetables. Light to medium bodied and dry. No significant bitterness. There was the faintest hint of toffee mixed with dishwater. Bleh. holdenn (1443), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Oct 15, 2008 12 oz bottle from Steve’s in WI. Pours a clear orange with a thin off-white and soapy head. Not much in the nose. A touch of malt. Spritzy carbonation and lackluster thin flavors. The malts taste a little old and stale. Touch of biscuit, and toffee, with a finish of faded hops that are lemony and remind me of lipton tea. Not so good.
