An easy drink, but all too easy to pass up in favor of something more distinctive. Not a bad beer by any means, just plain jane. 21iceman40 (1731), vienna, West Virginia, USA

| 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Feb 4, 2009 bottle by way of machfive55 has no marks indicating age.
a dark orange amber pour is capped by a huge tan head with lots of lacing. it’s clear but certainly darker than expected.
the nose consists of three things... honey, caramel malt and roasted sweet yellow peaches. there’s not dryness or bitterness... just sweet and earthy.
the palate is so sweet and vile! is there a hop in this hog that tastes like sugary cooked peaches? flavors of over ripe yellow peaches, caramel and very slight spiciness on the finish. there’s no bitterness to balance this out so the medium body feels sugary and thick...meck!
this bottle must be ancient...3/4/3/2/5/1.7 jb (1043), Rochester, New York, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 31, 2009 Grapefruit and bread dough aroma. Great looking, brownish orange, sudsy off-white head with some lacing. Nice palate, great balance between the lushness and the dryness. Rich malty flavor, balanced perfectly by hops. This is good. Thanks for the trade, Zach8270!
