| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Nov 1, 2007 Poured light amber color with thin layer of offwhite head. Aroma a bit spicy-earthy subdued hops and sweet carmely malts. Flavor reflects this. First thing that hits you is upfront hop prescence - earthy - then it mellows into a smoother finish. Overall, probably wouldnt buy again. MrBunn (1541), Western, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Oct 22, 2007 Bottle. Nice light, brown body with a bit of a reddish tone to it. Head starts at a little better than one finger and dies down with a little bit of lacing and a film across the surface. Aromas are of sweet malt and bitter (and slightly astringent) alcohol with a touch of some hops. Flavor is definitely on the bitter side, and there is that astringent quality that showed itself in the nose. Things end with a sweet malt aftertaste with just a little remnant of the hops presence sticking around. Ho hum... TheBeerOrg (1582), Kentucky, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Oct 4, 2007 Pours lightly cloudy and amber with a thin, mostly receding off-white head. Aroma of medicinal phenols, sticky caramel, cherry, and pine. Taste is phenolic, medicinal, cherry, light sourness. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied, sticky sweet with lush carbonation. Cloying and medicinal, down the drain... realale420 (399), west covina, California, USA

clear amber, thin off white head, light floral hop aroma, sweet carmel malt flavor, light bittering hops still lets the sweetness come through, picks up at the end and becomes a nice sweet esb, would make a good evening session beer
