| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 6, 2004 Bottle. Aroma is of hops, malt, sweet fruit, a little banana, and a little brown sugar. Pours a caramel color, similar to Coca-Cola. Head is a light tan color, while remaining extreamely thin and disappearing rapidy. Flavor is not very hoppy at the start, with coffe / toffee notes with a slight bit of hops warming up towards the end, kind of like a pilsner. Carbonation is not too flat, but not strong, with a small bite. Repeat buy. presario (3002), Calgary, Alberta, Canada
