| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 2, 2009 Dense, yellowed head that leaves frothy lace on the glass. Slight haze to the copper-amber color.
A blend of crystal malts, mild hop pellets, and peppered caramel.
Mellow beginning of pale ale and crystal malts; it gives the beer a rich body. Peppery bitterness from the hop that is particularly strong in the aftertaste. Good blend overall, very easy to drink for a middle-of-the-road amber.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 2, 2009 At Chriso’s pre GBBF Shindig ’09. In the beginning this beer was golden but full of shards of glass, thanks to my incompetence with a bottle opener. And SilkTork said let a filter be brought so that we may drink, and a filter was brought and the beer was passed through it and we saw that it was good and we drank and found that it was sweet and piney and bitter.
And very good. Sudennorthstar (17), Michigan, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 1, 2009 Frankly, I thought this would be more a joke beer. I read the box it came in and saw the jokes on it, so I was surprised to taste a comparatively complex beer. The fruit taste hits you off the bat and the malt flavor comes as you swallow. Like I said, I wasn’t expecting much but this was a good drink. Don’t read the box and assume it’s not good. beernovice39 (315), South Carolina, USA

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jul 23, 2009 Pours a brown/amber, hazy. Major fruit and malt on the nose with a slight spicyness. Big fruit on the palate with mild hops, quite fruit. Fresh fruit and sweet malt on the finish. I really like this one...it is what it is... MrRoss (617), Delta, British Columbia, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 8, 2009 A nice enough looking cloudy brown-coloured beer, topped with a scanty white head. Aroma was barely perceptable. Hell, I couldn’t figure out the nose on this one, probably my bad here. Taste was quite okay, with some malt in evidence, and an okay mouthfeel. Drinkable but not remarkable. MesandSim (5958), London, Greater London, England
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 5, 2009 A Mes rate. Bottle at home. Clean amber colour with a thin off white head. Weak caramel malt, crappy hop flavours. Slight nutty and cheesy notes. Very dull.
