| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 30, 2007 tap @ in tempe in a monsoon...nice orange golden color. sweet malts are the only things i could pull from the aroma (lots of fans and a thunderstorm). flavor is sweet malt/toffee with a nice grapefruit citrus balance. great session beer for waiting out the rain!! as with the kiltlifter, i’m sure this will be more pronounced from a bottle. ksigty (107), Scottsdale, Arizona, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 16, 2007 For a beer that puts itself into a bitter category, it is pretty smooth. The bars shouldn’t serve it so damn cold but I have adjusted my ratings as if it were served at the correct temperature. Carmel and toffee finish doesn’t overpower but doesn’t last long either. Great color and weight. A great beer for sitting at the bar with friends. You could drink it all day long. Just make sure you have a comfortable landing spot, these will catch up to you.
