| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Apr 28, 2008 Decent but somewhat lacking, toasted malt graininess slightly sweet like a breakfast cereal, pretty easy to drink, but I don’t think I could easily drink more than a bottle. Somewhat bitter and chalky in the finish, lacks balance. doubleo (1121), San Diego, California, USA

Just a little hoppy bitter with some hop sweetness as well and plenty of sweet maltiness and a bit of sweet red fruit flavor, not alot just a little.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 9, 2007 12 oz bottle via Roth’s. Pours a dark reddish amber with an average size beige head. Nose is most citrus hops, grains, and some vanilla. Taste starts with a orange grapefruit hoppiness, then some sweet caramel malts come through, then some toasted & roasted grains. The finish and aftertaste are all grapefruit, grassy hops and roasted grains. Lots of all three. Average carbonation, medium body. robforbes (1099), Bremerton, Washington, USA

smell of roasted nuts, caramel, malt, touch of spice, a little cocoa in the back.
taste first hits you with malts, some caramel, pine, grapefruit, roasted nuts, well balanced middle, ends on the bitter side, aftertaste leave the tongue tingling and mouth bitter.
overall more hoppy than your fathers amber, well done. Reid (1092), Salem, Oregon, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Nov 9, 2003 Had heard good things about this brew so I decided to at least try a "single" 12 ozer
Lovelly old fashioned raised pattern brown bottle. Label has a picture of a snowboarder..but thats the only bad thing about this beer Poured beer into glass..got a small head which quickly turned into a fine lace..the beer itself is a wonderful deep reddish brown
Wonderful smell of hops in ths just great.
Tastes good a litle bitter ..hoppy of course ..good.
Very drinkable..i will buy this again next year if it comes out again.
I really am blessed living up here in Gods Country ( Oregon) ..so many great breweries! SubstanceT (1090), Saint Louis, Missouri, USA
