Pours a clear amber color with a medium sized off-white head with limited staying power. Very mild aroma with a mixture of roasted caramel malt and hops.

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Aug 29, 2009 [bottle]
Possibly not the freshest pine hops aroma with a little caramel. Clear dark gold with some white wisps and ring. Mineral watery and balanced on the bitter side, with some caramel/toffee malt and spicy, herbal hops. Light to medium body, not quite crisp, slightly bitter and tangy finish, medium carbonation. kyzr (1127), Belgrade, Montana, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 19, 2009 Copper pour with small white head. Light nose of citrus. Flavor does have a little bite of hops up front that fades to a sweet malty backing. Mild body with soapy bitter finish.
