Starts with a mild blend of malt and hops including faint caramel. Finishes lightly nutty, mildly tangy and just a touch hoppy. JonR888710 (999), Cochabamba, Bolivia
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Apr 29, 2005 Had this beer a few times but never rated, here goes. Pretty pale amber with lots of bubbles bursting their way into a thin head that doesn’t last very long. Smell is light with a small amount of lemon and light hops, and delicate kiss of malt. So far, everything about this beer is subdued. This is definitely intended to be an easy drinking bar ale drank in multitude. Taste packs a good amount of flavor, especially at first when the carbonation and lemony hops really zest the tongue. After that more toasted flavors show, along with hay, caramel and yeasty dough. Suitably complex beer for the style. Still, this beer will always remain the lesser-attractive and popular sister of the Dominion Lager, the best of the staple beers from this brewery. footbalm (1219), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA

Toffee tastes with some butter peeking through the toasted malt body. Grainy, nutty finish. Some hops, but reserved bitter. Medium body. Typical, average U.S. microbrew ale. mctous (119), Herndon, Virginia, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Feb 4, 2005 Updated: Feb 19, 2006Pale malt dominates the aroma and flavor, with a short-lived carbonation, a gentle PNW hop finish, and a gentle diacetyl yeast signature. Decent but not distinctive. BassMonkey83 (16), USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 3, 2005 Sweet/citrusy aroma with a pleasing mouthfeel. Malty flavor with a mild hop bitterness towards the finish. Goes down very easy and, oddly enough, goes well with dark chocolate...but that’s not important right now. It’s a very drinkable ale at a good price, it’s just lacking "kick". Not mindblowing but a great effort
