| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 3, 2006 Pours amber with a thin off white head. Smells nutty and roasty with some underlying malt notes. Tastes of earthy hops, nuts, malt, and some citrus. Watery on the finish. ¾ (4999), Colorado, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Nov 7, 2007 Has a very noticeable nose of apple and butter, with very low hop presence and more of a malty-apple based flavor. Very plain overall, with a papery finish. I didn’t enjoy this one too much, and my lack of wordiness is proof. kmweaver (2462), Sebastopol, California, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 4, 2007 12oz bottle, courtesy of jjpm74 (I believe). Thanks, John! Pours a clear, orangish-amber color; off-white, large-bubbled head with patchy lacing. Butter / butterscotch in the aroma; some sticky sugar and overripe fruit; not very pleasant. More sticky sugar and maple syrup / dried fruits in the mouthfeel, but not much else; overripe and sticky and blase. Sticky sugar and dried fruits in a lengthy finish. iowaherkeye (1856), Los Angeles, California, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Nov 7, 2007 12oz bottle, best enjoyed before: June ’07 thanks to jjpm74, thanks John. Clear orange brown with a 1 1/2 finger off-white head. Green apple and light florals in the nose, and that’s it. Green apple with some tang continues in the flavor with some buttery notes and light caramel malts. Minimal bitterness. Moderate to high carbonation with a light body. I see Shipyard brews this--now everything makes sense. jasonp (1510), Sterling/Dulles, Virginia, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Nov 18, 2007 Bottle, clear amber with off-white head. Light pear/apple in the nose. Notes of toffee then pear/apple - next comes a moderate level of noble hops. Light bodied with moderate carbonation. Eh. LilBeerDoctor (1502), East Setauket, New York, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 20, 2009 On tap at Willimantic Brewing. Pours a clear brown/amber with a small white head. Aroma of sweet malt with lots of diacetyl. Flavor is more of the same with diacetyl and lots of sweetness. Definitely a flawed beer. Meh.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 20, 2009 Tap at Willimantic Brewing. Aroma of syrupy-sweet malt, some leafy/earthy hops. Flavor has toasted malt with sweet fruits, as well as some odd candied earthiness...or something. Pretty thin. Not a favorite.
