Hoppy pine and grapefruit nose, with a substatial caramel influence. Toffee and breadlike flavors under a thick citrus. Sweet, but biting finish. Pretty good!

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 3, 2006 Bottle from trade with cbkschubert. Poured a copper color with an off-white head. The aroma was hoppy, floral, and honey that got sweeter as it warmed. The flavor seemed a little more subdued with citrus hops upfront and a hint of malts in the ending. Light body and dry. Little to no aftertaste. Enjoyable on a hot summer day. Thanks Craig!! hopdog (5611), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 22, 2006 12oz bottle acquired in trade with FlactoAlto (thanks!). Poured deeper and slightly cloudy amber color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of grapefruit, some pine, caramel, and has a light spiciness to it. Tastes of citrus, toasty, light caramel, and has a hop leafiness to it (if that makes sense). KUEric (632), Chevy Chase, Maryland, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 14, 2006 12 oz Bottle: Outstanding! I like ambers, this is true, but this is muct hav ebeer if in AZ, or where distributed. For an amber is full and rich. Pours a light orangy-amber color with a very nice fluffy white head and some good lookn’ carbonation. Aromas are of hops some (although not a ton) of suagay sweet malts, and some other aromas such as nutty, roasted/burnt, grass, and citrus. The flavor began citrusy, then morphed into hops, malts, and some more hops. Although it wouldn’t please a ’hop head’ I was suprised by the level of hops in the beer. Quite good is all I can really sum it up with. cbkschubert (2013), Cochise Co., Arizona, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 2, 2006 Updated: May 21, 2006On tap at the dog track - Amber color with a very light head. Light malt aroma. A very light caramel sweet flavor. Medium- light body. There just isn’t much to say about this beer. Worth a try.
Rerate: 12 oz. bottle 5/21/06 - Much better. More flavor and aroma. Next to the Nimbus Oatmeal stout, it’s thier next best beer. Styles (1653), Lincoln Park, Michigan, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 20, 2006 Bottle courtesy of FlacoAlto. Hazy orangish-amber with decent white head fades to film. Roasted grain is the only thing detectable in the aroma. Flavor again lots of roasted grain, with light citrus hop bite towards the finish. Better beer than score indicates, just can’t bump anything up though. drainey (231), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 6, 2006 Draft at Tucson Electric Park. Beautiful ruby red body with a small white head. Not much aroma. Flavor is hoppy with a nice malt complement. Palate is average for an amber ale. Quite drinkable. matta (1139), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 26, 2006 Thanks to FalcoAlto for the mighty fine trade!
Pours an amber body with edges of orange. The aroma and flavor come across somewhat nutty with a toasted all-grain bread likeness, moderate caramel tones, along with a mixture of orange and lemon zests in the finish. A very drinkable beer, as it would make a terrific session favorite!
