| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jun 8, 2008 12oz bottle-pours a rich off white head and amber/copper color. Aroma is medium malt, tea-herbal, some spice. Taste is medium malt-caramel, tea-herbal, some spice hops. Some metallic tannins distract from beer that seems to be a cross of an Irish/American amber. Soft carbonation. sfontain (506), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 26, 2008 Amber color (surprise); small, white, frothy head that stays and leaves lots of lacing. Aroma very bready with hops and orange; light caramel. Flavor also bready with a hint of citrus; sweet; surprisingly bitter finish, almost wheaty and just a tiny touch metallic. Medium sticky; medium-light body. Pleasant surprise. Butters (1652), Virginia, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 18, 2008 Crystal clear amber with good off-white head. Malty aroma and a nutty, bready flavor. Slightly bitter finish. Good amber mmmbeer (752), Austin, Texas, USA
| 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 1/5 | 5/20 | May 13, 2008 12 oz. bottle poured into shaker- poured transparent light amber brownish color, aroma of slightly roasted malt and some floral notes. White head came and went, no lacing, medium carbonation. HIts the mouth with a defined high-thin body, the malt has an almost dull sweetness, finish has a slight bitterness to it. A dust like quality gets left on your teeth after the swallow, and that’s just bad for me (poor and/or careless brewing?). 2 bad ones in a row- dang!!! rustychiles (1055), Mesa, Arizona, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | May 12, 2008 Pours a transparent reddish brown with a very small head. Aroma of malt and not much else. Flavor is sweet malt, caramel, a touch of hops. My 2nd favorite Dundees beer behind honey brown. jmw141 (134), Canton, Illinois, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | May 8, 2008 Bottle pour to Sam Adams Perfect Beer glass. Nice thick head, little lacing. Pours a very pretty mahogany red color. A slightly hoppy aroma with small floral notes. Tastes slightly dusty (in a good way) and the malt sweetness is present from beginning to end. Little hop flavor and maybe some honey or citrus thrown in? Slightly dry aftertaste. Light mouthfeel. Seems like "JW Dundee’s Honey Brown’s" little brother. Good, not geat.

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 1/5 | 11/20 | May 7, 2008 BOTTLE: Craft Pack sampler. Not the best beer in this sampler, but not bad at all. At $4 a case less than Saranac, that’s quite a compliment. Malty aroma and taste is somewhat doughy, but grows on you. Almost medium body a bit creamy and not-too-agressive carbonation make it a pleasant drinker. Not much of a finish to speak of.
BUY AGAIN? Sure. This whole Sampler pack is an exceptional value in almost-craft beers. kidmartinek (981), austin, Texas, USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Apr 27, 2008 Pours copper with a 1/2 inch head lasting all of 60 seconds. Smells like nut and malt. Tastes malty, and metallic. Finishes a little heavy. Not my favorite nutty brown american brown-like lager.
