Huge notes of bread, oats, walnuts, honey, bread and dough. Slight hoppiness. Beautiful apperance, creamy head good lacing, great color of reddish brown. This is one of the best beers of this type I have tasted. mvcramer (229), Arlington, Massachusetts, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | May 22, 2007 Pours a copper/caramel color with a nice white head. Musty aroma on first pour, but as the beer warmed slightly, the floral hop notes became more pronounced and wonderful. Tasty bitterness rolling across my palate. Bitterness was pleasant and not overdone. I enjoyed this beer tremendously and was shocked to see it scoring so poorly in here. This is a complex brew that I thought was fabulous.

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Apr 9, 2008 This caught me off guard as I was expecting grapefruit rind style bitter but was very satisfied with the smooth mild I’d say sweetness over bitter. The maltiness iS spot on and iS carbonated well. The head iS small and the color when poured iS a nice red hue. The aroma iS mellow and sweet pretty much like the brew itself. Overall this iS what I was looking for and not an over bitter brew. On the side this brew iS good cold but iS better half way through as it warms up slightly. mnurda (434), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Dec 16, 2001 This is a very solid ale. Can only recommend it. Hard to find in liquor stores in the midwest if not impossible. raymow (738), Bensalem, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 26, 2003 Very nice beer. Great color - looks (and tastes) a bit like a red ale. Has a slightly hoppy aftertaste, but not too strong - which I like. I'd definitely get this one again. ericnixon (719), Northampton, Massachusetts, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | May 2, 2004 Nice coppery color with a very nice (appley?) aroma. Nice mixture of the hoppy and the malty with a very smooth taste. adoland (1), Reston, Virginia, USA does not count | 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Nov 10, 2007 Pint at Pickels Pub in Emmaus, PA - delightful alternative to IPA. Disappointed at the $32 price for a case.
