| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 4, 2004 Good looking glass of beer-amber ruby hue with a fine head that left rings as it went down and a malty floral aroma. Smooth and medium bodied with caramel toffee flavors, a bready note to it like a honey bun and a subtle warmth. The finish was mild and bitter sweet. My aunt brought me this from Cleveland and when I saw what it was I told her I was going to take it out and dump it in the gutter. She almost looked offended until she "got it" ha ha. Good beer. aracauna (2427), Georgia, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 6, 2004 Pretty, clear mahogany with a yellow khaki head that builds up nicely but fades quickly. Toasted malty aroma is followed by a lightly sweet toast flavor with a bit of bright hop bitterness in the finish. Great Lakes really excels with its lagers. gws57 (1151), Saint Charles, Illinois, USA

Nice, dark amber pour with a medium, fluffy white head. Medium mouthfeel. Nose of light, citrusy hops and bready malts. Some milk chocolate balanced with piney hops flavor. Balanced, clean finish. Very nice. tmohr (25), Illinois, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 18, 2009 Some head with decent lacing. Dark orange-brownish body. Strong floral hop aroma belies a very balanced brew. Significant but not overbearing hoppy bitterness with a well-balanced chocolate malt presence.
