| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 21, 2009 16.9 Oz Bottle. Pours a very light gold, slight haze. Good head with some decent retention. Very tame malt on the nose, smells kind of odd but I can’t put a name to it. Tastes like saltine crackers, very light bitterness, mostly malt. Medium carbonation with little body.

| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Feb 13, 2009 Clear orange color with a lasting white bubbly head. Aroma is less than appealing. Light malts, soggy cereal, and spoiled hops. Flavor was about the same, mainly sour malts and a little bitterness. Palate is really soft and flat. I could not finish the entire glass. kp (8500), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 10, 2008 Had this some years ago and it was better in my memory. Poured with a quickly fading to almost no head and a tiny bit of lace. Color is a slightly hazy deep amber. Aroma was bitter sweet, malty, a little hop, and grainy. Flavors about the same but stronger in the sweet malt. Hint of green bell pepper of all things. Nothing special, but not bad. Ditto with the finish. Session beer maybe... eicolque (3), , Alabama, USA does not count | 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Oct 19, 2008 Great beer, golden appearance, malty flavor, great balance, great texture. I love this beer. aschafer324 (7), , Wisconsin, USA does not count | 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 19, 2008 No aroma that i can pick up. Nice amber gold color, medium head. Malty, slightly sweet taste but bitter at the same time. Bungalo22 (326), Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 5, 2008 Poured from the bottle a golden yellow color with a nice fluffy head. The aroma is sweet and floral. I know sweet is not really an aroma character but that is how it hit me. The beer is smooth and balanced on the palate but a bit light bodied.
