| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 8, 2008 On tap at Stone; a clear, toasted gold in color. Sweet, yeasty, spicy and herbal aroma. flavor was very grainy and corny, with some yeast and butter. Not too much hopping. golubj thought it was sweet, spicy and grainy, in giving a 3.5; and for some reason I wrote down it makes him moist, I think that is his words not mine. hughie (3082), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 6, 2008 Updated: Aug 6, 2009Bottle from BSF Bar at GBBF ’08. Gold with a white head. First impression of the aroma was piney hops, however a fascinating sweet pinepple nose developed. Taste is sweet, perhaps peachy, with some grapefruit following. I liked this for its gentle, restrained qualities, allied with plenty of variety and interest in the taste. 4.8.09: Cask, gravity at same location ’09. Copper gold. Pine and grapefruit hop aroma. Some sweetness in the taste followed by sharp bitterness. Slightly watery, but highly acceptable. Rated 7,3,6,4,12:3.2 AgentSteve (1379), SF Bay Area, California, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 21, 2008 Bottle. Pours a gold-orange color with a medium white head. Aroma is light, of flowery hops. Flavor is also mild: initial flavor is sweetish, some malt, fruit, and a touch of sugar. Finish is slightly bitter, dominated by hops. Decent APA. Sparky27 (1608), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 20, 2008 12oz Bottle. Pours a clear medium gold with a one finger white head and spotty lacing. Nose is sweet grass and malt. Taste is pretty much the same with a twangy bitter finish that comes off a bit manufactured. Medium mouth feel. Refreshing, but something just seems “off” about this beer. SuperDave70 (1158), Beautiful Sunny Mesa, Arizona, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 18, 2008 Golden straw color pour with a foamy white head. Aroma of light malt and sweet light fruits. Flavor is similarly sweet and fruity, but with just a hint of a floral hoppiness on the finish. Medium bodies and refreshing on the palate. Not a bad summer brew.
