| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 29, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a golden orange color with a frothy white head. Aroma is of malt, funk, oak, and hops. Smells like a muddled mess that was left under the floorboards. Luckily it tastes a lot better than it smells. Taste starts off very earthy with a presence of hops, lots of lemon zest and funk. Has a backbone of oaken malt, that also manages to be very skunky. Finish is all skunk and lemon. Mouthfeel is creamy and goes down easy. Refreshing, but a little too dusty and old tasting given that it’s not old and dusty. madvike (343), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Apr 21, 2009 Bottle - Pours light amber with a big frothy head. Not the best aroma - kind of dull and soapy, though the malt aroma is nice. The bottle is a probably a little past it’s prime, because there’s a noticable amount of skunk in the flavor. Beyond that there’s some nice oaky malt flavors, as well as a nice dry hop bite on the finish. This is an easy drinking beer, light-medium bodied beer with just enough carbonation to make it feel creamy. I only wish I could have had this beer in its prime. inkubus27 (251), Highland, Indiana, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 13, 2009 2008 Bottle... Pours golden with a slight amber hue, decent head for being over a year old. Slight saaz hop aroma, really not much in this department. Flavor is perfect for a lager, malty, slightly bitter, with a little bit of a lasting flavor from the saaz hops. vyvvy (2068), Hazelwood, Missouri, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 9, 2009 Pours clear and golden with a sudsy / soapy white head. The aroma has breadiness, very light toast and lager malt - clean and rich. Medium body with some lightly sharp carbonation on the finish. The flavor starts like the aroma with a bit more crispness and dryness. The finish adds some spice and cracker along with smooth toasted malt. This is nice, but seems odd being part of the unplugged series. Still very well done. xmarcnolanx (798), Kirkwood, Missouri, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 9, 2009 Aroma is slightly sour, crisp malt, caramel, and lemon-pine herbal.
Taste is clean, bright malt, some touches of grassiness and nuts, hoppy lemon flavor, a bit big on the carbonation, but that’s to be expected.
Finish is slightly bitter with malt dominating (this is a bit older), hop flavor lingers and finishes dry.
This is very nice.
I think I could drink this all the time. dkachur (2402), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 8, 2009 12 ounce bottle shared by cdumler. Thanks! Pours a clear golden amber color with lots of carbonation. Thin head lasted forever and left sheets of lacing on the glass. Aroma of toasted malts with slight hints of grass and caramel. Taste is toasted malts, grass, apple and caramel... yes... caramel apple... and a bitter hoppy finish. Excellently balanced and very crisp/ Medium bodied.
