| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 13, 2005 Darkish yellow gold, with a very thin, sloppy head. Grainy, slightly sweetish aroma. Decently sweet flavor, with a veggie, medicinal quality, plus some, I don’t know, juniper, maybe? Thaks to Indiana Red for the trade! 5000 (2409), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 1, 2005 Bottle: Light golden, vibrant clear, moderate white frothy head, spotty lacing, light carbonation.   Very subtle band-aid nose, mild malts.   Doesn’t smell promising.   Yep, quite a bit of band-aid on the tongue... blech.   With this light of an ale, not much can be detected after the band-aid.   No packaging date to speak of.   Body and mouthfeel are moderate.   Finishes with less band-aid, luckily, semi-sweet, but all malt.   The hop portion of this beer is very minimal to non-existant.   Not one I plan on having again.   Thanks Ken!

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 1, 2005 Bottle: Courtesy of Indiana_Red via trade. Aroma is sweet with some fruitiness (orange and apple) and light floral hops. Pours a mostly transparent gold (slight haze) with a small white head. Flavor is mostly sweet with some apple and orange fruitiness. Hops are very light in the finish with some flowers and extremely light pine. Orange flavor increases slightly in the finish. Very easy drinking and quite refreshing. I’m not big on the "A great beer for a hot summers day" ratings, but that actually describes this beer perfectly. OhioDad (2491), Hilliard, Ohio, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 18, 2005 12oz bottle obtained in a trade with Indiana_Red - Thanks Ken! - Pours golden with a small white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is floral with some sweetness, peaches. Flavor is grainy sweet with just a touch of that peach/apricot flavor coming through, a touch of yeast and a slightly floral hop finish. On the palate this is clean and crisp and very easy drinking. Pretty good on a summer day. frylock (1024), Buffalo, New York, USA
