| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 15, 2009 Pours amber with a fizzy almost tan head that manages to hold a thin cap.
Strong caramel coming from the pour, some orange zest and baked bread/biscuit tones as well.
Flavour is medium maltiness, sweet cookie and caramel, light orange marmalde like hop balances well.
Overall a solid amber and a very good value for a bomber under $6. dkachur (2418), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 3, 2009 Bottle acquired via Sparky27...THANKS ERIC!!! Definitely the best of the bunch...aroma of caramel malt and toffee. Burnt orange body with a razor thin eggshell head. Flavor is as sweet as the nose but isn’t really cloying. No off flavors and, although thin, still enjoyable. Oscbert (550), Sacramento, California, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 8, 2009 12oz bottle from BevMo! Mission Valley. The pour is a really deep amber color, with lots of lively carbonation. Some fresh fruity aromas, a nice mixture of hoppy and malty aromas. Toasted malty flavors, caramel and just the right amount of hops. Not bad phishpond417 (1953), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 5, 2009 I was hoping this would be decent, considering i picked it up on sale. It turned out all right however. Poured a semi cloudy amebr colour with hints of red near the bottom. Medium sized white head. Biscuity for sure- aromas are nice and soft with decent hop character. Rich and zingy on the tongue with a bready flavour. Overall nice and clean.
