| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Sep 2, 2007 Huge fluffy and firm head. Deep amber. Nice aroma of floral and sweet scents. Medium mouthfeel. Sweet malty taste, quite pleasant although not much hops. Unwelcome alcohol taste. Not bad at all. Shame the hops haven’t been used more wisely. Braudog (3766), Dayton, Ohio, USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Aug 30, 2007 Bottle: Lightly carbonated golden-amber-grain-colored brew with a thin but standing head. The aroma is sweet, like candied corn on Halloween. There’s a bit of that essence in the flavor, but it drinks fairly smooth with actually little flavor to speak of ... maybe a bit of caramel, and a very subtle grassy tinge at the very finish.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Aug 27, 2007 Clear amber color. Nice malty/hoppy aroma. Nice, light, malty taste. Somewhat grassy too. Leaves a dry taste in your mouth, wanting more. Has a little bit of a bite to it as well. Overall, not too bad. But could be better. KAggie97 (2457), Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 9/20 | Aug 23, 2007 Bottle. Pours a nice and lively amber with an aroma of artificial sweetened cough syrup. Flavor is off-center wheat with Sweet-N-Low’d lemon tea in the finish. Nice mouthfeel. Not worth repeating. mrant (330), New York, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 13/20 | Aug 21, 2007 Smell is well balanced hops and malts. Slight citrus sour scent. Pours a very nice light straw color. Taste reminds me of a pale ale but without a dry finish. Very enjoyable. redlem (1155), Illinois, USA
| 1.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 2/10 | 1/5 | 4/20 | Aug 20, 2007 A lower hop example of their regular stuff, although I dont know how much lower hop you can get. A little higher ABV which you would expect from a bock type beer but this is all sweet malts. Some rainfresh hops do come out in the aroma but the taste does nothing for me, completely one-dimensional leaning toward sweet. I will pass on the next one. matt7215 (967), Cambridge, Ontario, Canada
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 20, 2007 355 ml bottle. pours golden with a nice white head. sweet malty aromas with some apple juice notes. no hops present. flavours are mostly malty with some hops to balance it all out. this is a good example of this style which is in my opinion an underrated one. wxman (587), O’Fallon, Illinois, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 11, 2007 Pours a dark gold color with a respectable rocky white head. Sweet malt aroma along with hop spiciness. Dry crisp taste, yet sweet malt, caramel, and citrus come through as well. Some bitterness in the throat after the swallow that isn’t the best.
