| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 29, 2005 Certainly brown tasting. Nothing outstanding, kind of murky mellow on the taste, but nice body. Tremendous head. Wait, maybe that’s just the glass. DYCSoccer17 (2198), Davis, California, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | May 31, 2005 Bottle. Banana yeasty aroma with hints of roasts and chocolates, but the yeast dominates. Transparent amber color with a yellowish light-tan head. Start is somewhat thin and watery turning a little roasted and chocolatey. More thinness to finish. Kind of metallic and quite bland. spkldhenlvr24 (465), Newburgh/Buffalo, New York, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | May 30, 2005 Pours a deep amber, very pale brown color with a small dissapating beige head. Weak roasted malty, coffee aroma. Boring. Thin mouthfeel. Faint roasted flavor. This was missing many things.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 9, 2005 Pours deep amber with a tick off-white head. Smells spicy and bitter with fruity undertones. A bit sour.
Tastes kin of tart and sour. Solid maltiness. Spicy and hoppy with a sour finish. Sticky and sweet with low carbonation. Nice brown ale but nothing special. A solid session brew as it is very drinkable. kyzr (1123), Belgrade, Montana, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 1, 2005 Nice brown color, not much of a head. Flavor of lightly toasted malt with touch of hops. A little watery, but nice finish. Lou18 (1353), West Paterson, New Jersey, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 23, 2005 This was good. Poured brown, with an off white head. Sweet malty nose with the taste the same, a bit of hops finnish this nice. beerseer (51), Lewiston, Maine, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 18, 2005 (bottle) Flows out of the bottle a golden-brown that reflects the hue of Vermont leaves in the late fall, and takes on a clear, inviting mahogany color in the glass. Off-white head is average in size and diminishes fairly quickly. Smells moderately malty, slightly sweet like caramel, and a little grainy (with undertones of alcohol). Tastes sweet initially, finishes moderately bitter, with an aftertaste that reestablishes the notes of sweetness. Relatively light body that feels sharp at first but smooths out as it progresses. A simple yet refreshing beer with definite character. ClarkVV (3578), Allston, Massachusetts, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Apr 3, 2005 2004 bottle at Julio’s Spring Beer Fest, 4/02/05. Pretty standard, chestnut brown body, light beige head, very clear. Aroma of light chocolate and sweet caramel/sugar. Flavor is simple, with a mild brown sugar and toffee, medium to medium-light body Moderate carbonation, sweet, lightly fruity yeast. Incredibly average and boring. Argo0 certainly nailed this one.
