| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 25, 2008 A bit of a hazy copper beer, with a fizzy head that disappears completely - slightly tangy aroma, yeasty/bready character, some tart qualities that seem to be indicative of the beginning stages of an infection - yea, it tastes like it’s at the first stages of infection, too - a bit of acidity and vegetal character - underneath that, you have the semi-sweet, smooth maltiness of your standard o-fest, along with some apparent hop bitterness and buttery character - some tangy, fruity notes (is that "almost infected" quality intentional?) - light notes of toast in the finish - not terrible, but you’d figure a brewery that’s been around this long would have better quality control. michael-pollack (2751), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA
