| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 1/5 | 7/20 | Jul 11, 2007 Aroma hoppy, and with a strong vanilla component. The malt flavor is not particularly strong. This beer is too sweet, too heavy, textureless...and overall, too weak. I am not impressed. The taste is muddled. There’s a metallic taste too. Soonah (965), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 8, 2007 Poured a perfectly clear pale brown with lots of ruby highlights. The head was compact and slightly off-white. Little if any lacing. The aroma was sweet caramel, apple, citrus and some spice. The flavor followed suit with malt leading the charge backed up by refreshing apple and pear. Some spice, but nothing significant. Thin, watery mouthfeel. Didn’t take itself too seriously. Not bad. stegosaurus (1882), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA

Nice lacing. Aroma is toasted malt, esters, and something I can’t quite put my finger on. Flavor is dark esters and caramel malt. Medium body. A decent beer. GregClow (2499), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 1, 2007 Bottle via trade with HogTownHarry. I drank this the other night and forgot to take any notes, so from memory (and cribbing from others) - dark ruby-brown with a small head; medium body; sweet aroma and flavour with lots of caramel and some citric hops and spice around the edges. Pretty good. redlem (1155), Illinois, USA

A sweet caramel malt aroma and taste, limited hops. Farily thin body and cloying aftertaste. TomDecapolis (3197), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA
