| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jan 14, 2007 Beers like this are dificult to dislike if they are in good condition, but conversely hard to really love if you are keen on a hop balance in your beer. Everything about the presentation of the beer is fine as it pours well, has a fine head and a sweet malty biscuit like aroma. As indicated, the absence of a real hop presence detracts from my enjoyment of the beer, but subjectivity aside it is a well made beer that will surely appeal to many.
