| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Mar 25, 2009 22 oz bottle. Pours a clear golden orange (yeasty on second pour) with a thin white head that quickly diminishes.
The aroma is sweet sugary malts and melon with a little earthy floral hops.
The flavor is sweet sugary melon with a touch of hops in the finish. It’s rather washed out and bland with some metallic and vegetal notes. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and watery with low carbonation.
Overall, a little too sweet for me, and not enough hops and a bit bland and off. jcwattsrugger (5581), Florida and, New Jersey, USA

Light malt and light hops. gold color. It seems like I should write more, but with a beer like this, I have nothing else to say. KAF (441), Coralville, Iowa, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 26, 2009 Golden pour with a whitish head. Nice hop aroma with a slight malt note. The aroma is much more promising than the actual flavor. Rather boring flavor that is a dulled version of the aroma. anders37 (4792), Malmö, Sweden
