| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 6, 2008 Double dry-hopped firkin @ Arundel Mills on Firkin Friday. Pours a murky, orange-brown color; thin, light-tan head with patchy lacing; some pulpy particulates. Very pleasant, orange-y citrus, resiny / juicy / zesty hop character in the aroma; some very soft brown sugar and caramel notes underneath; nothing sticky here. Relaxed carbonation. Medium mouthfeel: chewy / resiny oranges, solid zesty mineral / citrus hoppiness; pleasant, very soft malt core (brown sugar, caramel), very excellent and drinkable stuff. Nicely dry-hopped. Lengthy, softly bitter finish: chewy oranges, resiny citrus, some breadiness and caramel. Yum. kramer (2465), Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 21, 2009 From growler. Pours a clear light brown body with a reddish tinge and a slightly off-white fizzy head. Nutty, lightly roasty nose with some cocoa powder. The flavor is dry and nutty with a light grainy note, pretty well done for a Brown Ale. Light bitterness on the finish balances things out. Light to medium bodied with light soft carbonation. Overall pretty nice really. decaturstevo (1997), decatur, Tennessee, USA
