| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Sep 11, 2008 not to bad fall beer. Deep copper brown color but still translucent. Smell was a bit malty and grassy but i got a bit of spiceiness int here to, maybe cinninmon. taste was sort of light. Didnt really pull to hoppy or to malty but in the same way didnt push the envolope in any way. A good alternative to some sam octoberfest for those looking for a simple easy beer. klavoie22 (16), Newmarket, New Hampshire, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Sep 7, 2008 What a watery mess of a brown ale, it lacks all the flavor needed to be even a decent fall beer. Bad beer from a decent brewery. smjohnst (203), , Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Sep 5, 2008 It smelled like a beer that was brewed with cigarettes inside of it. It poured out pretty nicely but to me was very bland in flavor. rampmaster (322), Alden, New York, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 5/5 | 11/20 | Aug 27, 2008 Presentation: It was poured from tap into a pint glass.
Appearance: It had a medium reddish brown color with good clarity and a thin just off white colored head. The head hangs on and leaves nice lacing on the glass.
Smell: Its aroma has hints of lightly toasted sweet malts with some mild floral and leafy hops.
Taste/Mouth feel: The flavor was for me a little light but nicely balanced for the style. It has a nice malty presence with just enough hops for balance and character. The body had a smooth medium body with average carbonation.
Notes: Over all its very good but I would like it to have a little bit deeper, more assertive flavor.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 26, 2008 Interesting weirdly off aroma when you pop the lid but turns slightly flowery sweet inthe glass. Darker orange brown but translucent. Good initial flavor impressions. Goes down easy. Thin head, fades quickly. If I didn’t know better I would have thought this was an octoberfest, it has many of the qualities. Friendly and refreshing without any offensive bitter hop bite. Certainly like an octoberfest. Rather enjoyable crispy finish. LinusStick (1848), Moon Twp, suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 23, 2008 A nice and drinkable, yet run of the mill amber. Aroma was weak. Stale hops with not much else and not very strong. Pour was a nice medium amber with a one finger off white head. Taste was a little thin, but delicious. Mostly caramel malt with stale and dry hops in the aftertaste. A little grassy and earthy as it warms. Nothing exceptional, but nice and refreshing. Could use more carbonation. changeup45 (799), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 12, 2008 Poured a nice dark brown amber tinted body with a medium sized tan head. Adequate amount of lace but I wouldn’t say it was a lot. The aroma is hard to detect. It’s malty and maybe a little woody as well. Not strong. The flavor is not as rich as the look, more malty than hoppy but both are there. The finish is slightly hoppy and dry. mcox90 (649), Wilton, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 28, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear cola color with small head and minimal lace. Nose is slightly malty with nuts. Flavor is mild caramel, malts, nuts & vanilla bean. Smooth easy drinking beer, albeit not very exciting.
