| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jan 12, 2009 Poured a clear orangish amber with a thin tan head that went down to just a film. The aroma was very mild and just a bit of sweetness. The flavor was also very light with just a hint of sweetness and it rolled into a slightly dry finish. In general just an average beer. f351c4v (408), Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, USA
