| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 20, 2006 Pours a clear copper amber with a very big airy off-white head that leaves sticky clumps of lace behind as it subsides. Aroma has a nice fresh piney hop character with some mild citrus and metallic notes. Body starts with a semi-sweet toasty caramel maltiness turning more bitter and resiny, with some iron metallic flavor before a drier, lightly bready finish. Would probably be better if they’d check the mineral content of their water. Thanks to OhioDad for the bottle! hopscotch (5482), Vero Beach, Florida, USA

Lightly hazed amber ale with a mid-sized, fizzy, off-white head. Doughy, citrusy aroma with notes of whole grain bread, lime and grapefruit. Well-rounded flavor. Malty, but lightly bitter with honey and grapefruit rind. Medium-bodied and creamy with lively carbonation. Finishes malty, but not sweet. Thanks go out to OhioDad for the bottle!

Pours a rich amber with ample head and clinging lace. Aroma is grapefruit and lemon, with a splash of lime. Flavor is very grassy, but not in a disgusting sense; rather, it is grassy in the freshly-mowed-lawn-in-Spring-sense. Nice hoppy tones with clover-like grassy undertones. A very enjoyable beer; I want more from this brewer! eboats (887), Omaha, Nebraska, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 20, 2006 Thanks to OhioDad for this one. Deep amber with an off white head. Looks like honey when held up to the light. Aroma is malty, grassy hops, spices, and actually smells dry. Flavor is malty with light floral notes at 1st. Overall it is smooth, but very generic.

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jan 27, 2006 bottled. Lovely rich amber, crystal clear with dense head. Nice caramel and vienna malt aroma, subtle citrusy ester aroma. Great clean malt taste with rich caramel and vienna following through from the nose. Moderate carbonation makes for a smooth finish with firm bitterness. Thoroughly enjoyable. SuIIy (1448), Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Jan 26, 2006 12oz bottle from Ohiodad. Pours a rich amber color with a small off white foamy head. Nose is sweet caramel malt, ligh tapricots, and some faint grass. Taste is malty enough for JoshuaB. Lots of malt, hints of apricots and peaches, with a very fizzy and bitter finish. Hops follow up the swallow and the palate is thick enough. cdog69 (28), Richmond, Virginia, USA
