| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 19, 2009 22 oz bottle courtesy of my friends from NH. Deep amber-brown pour. The nose is lightly toasty with a very clean, lagered character. A little bit of light noble hop character and a kiss of caramel. Clean and well constructed. I’d prefer it with more crackery malts and less sweet caramel, but it’s pretty good really.
