| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Mar 6, 2009 Has a nice amber color with a foamy head and a slightly cloudy apperance. Aroma is average. Flavor is slightly bitter, but not in a good hoppy way. Seems very thin like a bad brew pub beer. Has a bitter finish that had a little bite in the back of my mouth. Won’t bother with this agin. mike1977ok (648), Netherlands

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 1, 2009 The color of amber / honey with a small soapy white head. Nose speaks of hops to come with caramel and a bit of soap. The hop aromas are grass, pine and citrus. Flavor is bitterness and not a lot more. It offers light fruit with a grass hop backbone. A bit of caramel and apple but you have to look hard for it. This is a straightforward bitter with just a bit of complexity. Nice example of the style. baraciisch (140), USA
