| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Oct 14, 2007 Bottle from Bottle Barn. Aroma of yeast and caramel - and arguably bread. Darkish amber color with a white head that diminished rapidly. Thin to medium body with very mild carbonation. The flavor is fruit over caramel. The finish is rather dry, with a bitterness that accumulates with time. Seems a very tasty version of the style. extremeicon (108), Wichita, Kansas, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Oct 9, 2007 Burnt orange color with a foamy white head that leaves a bit of lacing. Fairly weak aroma of malt and bread. Flavor a muddy mix of malt and vague sweetish fruitiness. Way too watery and bland. Bottle looks pretty, though. Furseth (1333), Kungälv, Sweden
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 2, 2007 Bottle: Clear amber,red colur, with lots of co2, and a nice creamy white head.
Aroma was malty,grainy,citric, and a bit metalic in the end. Flavor has a smouth/creamy/Butter mouth feeling, with a almost flat flavor. Smouth and a bit caramel in the end. Thin body, and a smouth thin to medium finish. RblWthACoz (963), Brooklyn, New York, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 16, 2007 Pours a clear amber brown with a big off white head. A slight sweet hoppy nose with a nutty edge. Metallic with a slight nutty flavor. There’s potential, but it doesn’t really come through. Though the nut character is nice. It is drinkable, sure. But for an anniversary edition brew, I am not blown away. kp (8500), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 20, 2007 bottle - Pours light amber with a medium sized head and a very mild malt aroma. The flavor is mainly caramel malts and has some mild to moderate hops bite. Medium bodied and decently balanced, this one is alright for a session beer though rather bland.
