| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jun 20, 2008 Pours a hazy orange color with a thin, white head. Aroma of lightly sweet caramel malt and some fruity esters with a mild grassy floral hop character. Body starts lightly sweet and caramely with a touch of earthy bittering hop balance with lightly tart notes toward the finish. Fairly interesting beer, but I’d prefer it without the tart character. hopscotch (5507), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 20, 2008 Bottle… VBWT2008… Cloudy golden ale with a small, creamy, white head. Decent retention. The nose is of orange marmalade along with gobs of caramel and hints of toffee, pear and apple. Full-bodied and chewy with modest carbonation. Big-time caramel and toffee flavors. Finishes sweet and fruity. TheCheeseMan rocks! JoeMcPhee (5010), Jackson Heights, New York, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | May 29, 2009 Bottle shared by someone at "Drink for Charity" event at Rattle N Hum. Sweet chewy aroma. Light citrusy lemon and a touch of acidity. There is a strange falvour of orange and banana. Chewy sweet and lightly sour. Meh... it doesn’t really do it for me. bhensonb (4342), Woodland, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 7, 2008 Sort of an orange/amber color with a 3-finger beige head - rather frothy. Strong fruit aromas - almost like kiwi or strawberry with yeast spice. Body is medium and the carbonation is very frothy. It’s a bit astringent, a little bready, lightly yeasty, and fruity in a berry, but not citrus, way. Finish is not all that dry, but it fits the style. Pretty good drink. Kind of earthy/fruity. goldtwins (4084), Nesconset, New York, USA
