| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 25, 2007 Appearance: Pours a dark, reddish-brown body with an ivory-colored head.
Smell: There’s a light caramel maltiness to the aroma as well as notes of flowers and citrus. Some spice in there, too.
Taste: Flavor of toasted grains with a soft caramel sweetness. Citrusy hops with a subtle spiciness. Mild bitterness on the semi-dry finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Highland’s given us a pleasant, easy drinking amber, which is awfully decent of them. BeerloverEJ21 (131), Georgia, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 24, 2007 On the pour, brown color, redish hue, a 3/4 inch light brown head. Initial tastes is good- hoppy, mild bitterness and a very smokey nose. Decent balance of bitterness and hoppy sweetness. Hints of citrus and wood. Interesting, it starts like a brown ale but finishes almost like a stout, as if it’s some sort of hybrid ale. Don’t really care for the aftertaste- a mix of bitter wood and stale hoppy notes. It doesn’t ruin the beer, but it doesn’t make it better either. Overall, pretty good start, interesting but disappointing finish, pretty refreshing. For me, very unique.. chadcs (76), Westminster, South Carolina, USA

clear copper, fine beige head, dark caramel malt aroma with earthy hops, sweet caramel flavor with a really nice candy caramel character, light hops add balance but otherwise stay out of the way of the hops, light bitterness in the finish
