| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 30, 2008 Bottle. Clear copper body with a thick, frothy head that recedes quickly. Aroma of fruity pebbles, caramel, brown sugar and nuts. Hint of floral hops. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter leaving tastes of nuts and grain. The long-lasting finish is moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture and lively carbonation make for a clean mouthfeel. This made a better first impression than a lasting one. Still tasty enough. joebudzjoe (232), Connecticut, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 29, 2008 Clear ruby body with a thin tan head. Sweet smell, almost strawberrish. Warm caramel taste with a long lasting aftertaste, bitterness from alcohol. A very tasty copper ale. Suttree (2743), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 28, 2008 Coppery red, beige head. Big caramel nose, with a nice hop bite, too. Smooth and tasty - brown sugar, caramel and toffee, with a mellow hop finish. I could drink a lot of this...

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 27, 2008 Poured a rich copper with a thick pale head, good retention that clung nicely to the glass.
Smelled mostly of hops and caramel malts.
A little creamy in the mouth with a light hoppy taste, great taste.
A well balanced ale, goes down smooth; very drinkable.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 26, 2008 Draft - A copper colored beer with minimal head. Malty sweet aroma. Very malty with caramel flavor. For me its too sweet and it actually tastes like more alcohol is present than the beer really has. Headbanger (1600), Aurora, Illinois, USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 19, 2008 Coppery amber pour with a thin head. Malty nose with just a little dash of hops. Flavor is malty, yes, but a surprising hop presence for an amber. Sweet fruity malt up front with a lightly dry hop finish. Not bad.
