| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 17, 2008 nice enough amber with adequate tastes of caramel malt, fruit bubble gum and hops. a bit nutty, smooth and roasty with an appropriate buttery finish. the beer manages to be refreshing, substantive and does not quickly bore the palate. this beer does clean up some on the finish and manages to keep a semblance of balance. somewhat of a feat in itself. phishpond417 (1935), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 11, 2008 One of my favorites from Lakefront,it’s best on draught. Pours a deep amber colour with a big white head. Slightly nutty with a touch of roasted malts. Well integrated hop character, full fruity flavor in the finish. Wulfstan (509), California, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | May 8, 2008 Updated: Jun 9, 2008This is nice and tasty. It’s deep amber with a big, light tan head that slowly shrinks to a small permanent top and leaves a little lacing. The aroma is bread dough, pine, and toasty bread crust. The taste is toasty bread, crust, a little pine, hints of caramel, citrus, herbs, and butter. It starts sweet, with increasing, faintly spicy, slight bitterness. It’s light and smooth but remains flavourful and interesting. HomeBrewHawk (269), De Soto, Kansas, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 24, 2008 12oz. brown bottle served in a pilsner glass. Poured a clear pale amber with a couple of fingers of off white head. Plenty of carbonation. Caramel/bready malt aroma with some noble type hops. Malty but not sweet. A little more hop bitterness than you might expect from an amber. Clean and very drinkable session type beer. Aggie80 (708), Michigan, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 19, 2008 Maybe because it was the first wonderful day of the year, but this went down really nice! Slightly cloudy dark orange color. Nice head and some lacing. Solid malt tast with a touch of hops in the undertone. Optigon (561), Bloomington, Indiana, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Apr 18, 2008 Pours deep brown with a fine, white head. Aroma is pretty sparse. Flavor is rather fruity with a strong caramel flavor. Full mouth feel. Good beer. jeff789 (384), Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 7, 2008 Copper color... malty aroma, a bit sweet... just enough hops to balance the beer very nicely... not my style of beer, but i can appreciate this... dkachur (2352), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Mar 29, 2008 Bottle from a sampler from Whole Foods Charlottesville. Looks nice... a deep copper color with small but stubborn head. Aroma is caramel and hops. Taste too has a nice bitterness balancing out the hops. All-malt this is not, but it does taste quite nice.
