| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 10, 2008 Coppery amber color with a decent off-white head. Roasted malt nose with a bit of hoppy bite.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 6, 2008 Pours a nice copper medium red brown with a head of small tan bubbles. Nose is carmel and happy nutty malt. Taste is tangy and more caramel happiness. Body is very fluid. Nice bitters. GOod beer. Perm (151), Tryon, North Carolina, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 4, 2008 12 oz bottle in a basic pub glass
Appearance: ruddy, copper brown with plenty of bubbles and a thin-to-near-naught white head. On the dark side of translucent.
Nose: Sweetish caramel roasted malt leads into mild hops.
Taste: Not unpleasant burnt-malt-with-hops sensation. A little on the sweet side but the bitterness comes through at the end. It’s got "session beer" written all over it, if a bit on the strong side at 5.8%
Palate: Spritzy and fun. Pair with food for sure -- it will cut through all kinds of oil and fat and leave you refreshed.
Overall: A great flagship ale from a strong local brewery. Equally satisfying as a session beer and an all-around food companion. Perfect with pizza; try with other Italian fare as well!

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 28, 2008 bottle. Solid amber... pours well, some malt to the aroma. Some caramel and sweet malts come through on the palate. Spicy on the tip of the tongue... very smooth over the palate.. nice and really soft around the sides and back. Slight bitter finish on the end. Solid session beer.
