| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 21, 2006 12-oz. Pours a clear medium amber with a towering bubbly platinum blonde head. Plenty of lace, bits of rising carb. Neutral nose, mild attack, thin body, low carb. Nuttiness on the mid-palate and not, alas, much else. Vacant finish. This is just alarmingly mild for Fish. The nuttiness is really appealing, must be the organic grain, it’s definitely got husk to it, too. But there’s just not a thing there beside it. Too bad. slimchill (783), Austin, Texas, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Dec 13, 2006 Updated: Jan 15, 2007Bottle. Pours clear but bubbly amber. Thin white head, slight lacing. Aroma is wonderfully pleasent; sweet, a bit hoppy. Very smooth opening, a little on the watery side. Middle is balanced and leads into a hoppy finish. Mouthfeel is a little on the weak side, and dry towards the end. It’s a good beer in a competitive style. GregClow (2516), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Nov 29, 2006 Bottle via trade with piscator34. Clear ruby-orange colour with a small white head. Mild aroma of herbal/floral hops and faint malt. Body is on the thin and watery side, a bit disappointing. Flavour is OK, well-balanced with a mildly bitter hoppiness in the finish, but I was left wanting more. Still, at 4% alc, I could see this being a nice session beer. Too bad it’s not available around here... eaglefan538 (2403), Wilmington, Delaware, USA
| 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Nov 23, 2006 Orange-amber pour, well beyond anything typical of pale ales, head on par, lacing ok. The aroma was herbal, earthy, light smoke. The latter was odd. The flavor was overcome with rotten vegetables and a harsh smokey background. The latter started out almost as a hop spiciness, but before I finished the first sip turned to a peat and ashy smoked flavor that was nasty. I had to recheck the label and make sure smoked salmon wasn’t an intent of the beer given its name. Just not a good beer, started to take me back to a bad experience I had with MH’s Jinx. Mouthfeel was light and maybe a little acidic, an overall flat out bad experience. FoolishMortal (966), San Diego, California, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Nov 20, 2006 12oz. bottle. Pale orange color with a small film of white head. Acrid floral hops with hints of citrus and a ruddy malt underpining. Slightly toasty flavors up front, consumed by an earthen spicy hop bitterness. Persistent bitterness with a faint astringency in the finish. Mouthfeel is light, rather dry. nick76 (2694), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 16, 2006 Updated: Nov 17, 2006The dominate element in the aroma is the caramel but there is also lightly roasted malt, nuts, and herbal hops. The appearance is orange/gold with a small head that laces the glass well. The flavor is buttery with all the elements from the aroma and a light hoppy, nutty finish. The palate is somewhat sticky. Overall I like it. jake65 (1725), Williston, North Dakota, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 14, 2006 Bottle: Nice amber/copper pour with a moderate head and average lacing. The aroma is hopped with citrus tones and some sweet malts. Taste is a basic hoppiness with some earthy tones, malt, and light citrus notes. Not bad, but not much better than average.

| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/20 | Nov 2, 2006 Bottle from World of Beer in Clearwater. Aroma is fruity at first with some mild citrus hoppiness, but then a dirty dishwater note appears. Murky copper, orange with a bubbly white head. Stale malts, watery with a mild hop presence. Slightly vegetal and rotting. Not so hot this one.
