| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 23, 2009 Pours with a small handsome head that quickly dissolves, not leaving much lacing.......but what was there, is good. The amazing aroma of all things earthy and hoppy is really where things start to take off for this authentically flavored, mildly carbonated ale that is very easy to drink for the style. Beautiful copper color, too. Cricket Hill got this one right, that’s for sure!
