| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 14, 2002 Amber in color with minimal head. Loads of malts with just a hint of balancing hops. Toast, caramel, noble hops and mild roasty aromas. Flavors largely mirror aromas with bread, caramel and roasted malt all discernable. Finish is neutral, leaning towards dry. Very nice, and thanks to PsychProf for sending this. goldtwins (4084), Nesconset, New York, USA

Flavor moderatley sweet with the taste of caramel. Finish is mostly malt with a light bitter background to balance it out. Light to medium bodied. hopscotch (5511), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 3, 2003 Crystal clear amber ale with a large, frothy, khaki-colored head. Great retention and excellent lacing.
The nose is of toffee, caramel, buttermilk, grapefruit and white wine or a very dry port or sherry.
The flavor is a bit on the thin side, but has some nice caramel and butterscotch bursts. Well-balanced, but the malty sweetness wins out over the hops by only the smallest of margins.
Medium-bodied with a watery mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Short, bitter, dry finish. Another great effort from the fine folks at Great Lakes!
