The appearance is a hazy apple cider drown with no head. The aromas are sweet with malt characters, apple cider, hazelnut. The flavors follow a bit with apple, hazelnut, toasted malts. A decent brown ale.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Dec 26, 2009 Bottle from biggcb. Pours a brownish-copper color with a nice initial foam head that dies down to an ultra thin layer. A little grass and hay in the aroma mixes with caramel and toasted almond. The flavor is a bit basic but overall pretty solid tasting. Nutty and toasty with the aforementioned almond, hazelnut, caramel, some toffee and subtle citrusy hops. This isn’t exciting but there’s also nothing bad at all about it and it drinks easy. Thanks Chris. MrChopin (681), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 21, 2009 Bottle thanks to brian23456 (BA)! Effervescent light mahogany, thin white film for a head. Odd nose that incorporates grain, earth, bark, and light tea. The flavor is similar but with significant grain and light caramel, also some similar tea. Full body contrast with the fizzy carbonation and lighter flavor profile. A pretty mediocre example of consistency. bblack99 (214), Kansas City, Missouri, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 21, 2009 Very easy drinking, good-looking Amber/Brown Ale. Pours a nice reddish-amber with just a bit of haze from the bottle conditioning and a finger of bright white head.
Great malty aroma and a matching flavor, with a bit of toasted nuts and hoppy bite in the flavor. Smooth and tasty, nice straightforward brew. BVery (563), Burnsville, Minnesota, USA
