| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 27, 2006 Bottle at The Anchor, Wichita, KS. Pours a muddy caramel with a leafy, earthy malt aroma. Lemon sweetened tea with a malty finish. Decent mouthfeel. Not bad, but it looks like melted poo. mjg74 (1995), La Mesa, California, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 18, 2006 Bottle from BevMo La Mesa. Pours a medium copper color. Aroam is sweet with some acidity. It also has a little bit of an aroma like those orange chewy peanut candies. Some roasted malts too. Nice bitter malty character with that earthy English thing going on. Finish is a little hoppy and bitter. Not bad. nimbleprop (844), SouthWest, Washington, Washington DC, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 12, 2006 Poured a murky copper orange with a lacing but whispy white head. Malty aroma with just a hit of hops, aroma similar to most ESBs. Satisfying flavor, but not extraordinary. Pleasant and refreshing but hardly unique. BigBen2120 (688), Derry, New Hampshire, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Nov 11, 2006 Murky copper body with a finger of off-white head. Smells like malt and Enlish hops. Tastes malty with a fair bit of hops. Flavor is not overpowering... Medium bodied... Rather tasty IMO. A solid ale. bb (2905), Martinez, California, USA

Nice malt/caramel flavor with earthy/citrus/grassy hops. Good balance. Medium bodied. Easy drinking. Lingering balanced flavor that lasts. aaschenbach (3), Germantown, Maryland, USA does not count | 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Nov 5, 2006 Pours a cloudy amber color with a thick head complied of large bubbles that slowly fades away. An unpleasant aroma is followed by a not so pleasant taste. Quixote18 (230), Johnson City, Tennessee, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 3, 2006 Poured from a bottle into an English pint glass, this hazy amber ale developed a small beige head with a few soapy bubbles floating around in there too. Very effervescent appearance, but I didn’t feel it was overcarbonated in the texture. The nosing was initially grainy, with a crisp hop presence. This mellowed after a little warming into a smoother bready malt aroma. The flavor was on the dry side, not particularly notable, but still pleasant. Finishes bitter. biz82 (1328), austin, Texas, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 2, 2006 Clear amber with a thin head. Sticky English hop aroma, mild, a bit spicy with citrus hints. Buttery caramel notes also. Nice big smooth palate. Toffee and mellow, slightly woody hop flavor. Perfect balancing bitterness. Lingering hop finish. Nice ale.
