| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Mar 30, 2003 Solid, sweet, malty old brown, with just enough hop flavour to let you know it wasn't brewed in England. cb (809), Wheat Ridge, Colorado, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 28, 2003 Wasn't quite what I was expecting...thought it would be a lot more hoppy. Aroma was that of the syrup that is poured over flan...a slightly carmelized dark sugar scent. Taste was perfect for a late Friday afternoon, nothing too exciting or amazing but very solid and enjoyable. I didn't feel like the palate was too sweet, the ale ended with just a touch of sticky bitterness. loweredsixth (942), Fresno, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 25, 2003 Really pretty Orange/brown color with a substantial off-white head. The aroma was very sweet...English hops...caramel...burnt sugar. The flavor was sweet as well...caramel...subtle hints of chocolate...English hops bitterness...malty. The finish was wet...coated the tongue...let a long aftertaste of English hops bitterness and burnt sugar. My one criticism is that the beer felt a tad too watery...a little thin. Another interesting brew from Lagunitas! omhper (12247), Stockholm, Sweden

Nut brown. Dry and nicely malty. Gentle and soft with notes of burnt sugar and a pleasant mild finish. Nuffield (2724), Roseville, Minnesota, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 23, 2003 Very light, peach color with uniqueness value. Crazy flavor, leaving my mouth feeling parched. Mild in spots, other places suggesting an alcohol beyond its moderate abv. LaChad (1375), San Francisco, California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 22, 2003 Bottle. Amber, small head. Sharp, floral, and strong aroma. Winelike and acidic. Grapes, hints of white vinegar. Lingering finish. Andrew196 (1091), Katy, Texas, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Mar 22, 2003 Looked like a blush wine....almost had a "pinkish hue" to it. Smelled of fruit and hops with notes of cranberry. It had a nice sweet taste to it closed out well by a slightly tart finish. jazz88 (2238), San Francisco, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 10, 2003 Bottle. Copper color with a light brown head. An earthy, light coffee, malty, and very nutty aroma. Sweet malts and a little grainy. It has a big flavor that lasts.
