| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 1, 2008 12oz - Aroma is malty with some citrus hops. Pours transparent brown with a small head and good lacing. Flavor is cardboard hops, sweet caramel and a citrus twang in the back. Palate is tart and sticky. Not bad but something throws me off. kseecs16 (907), Naperville, Illinois, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 12, 2008 Bottle. Sweet floral hops aroma. Red amber color with a whispy off-white head. Bitter dominates the flavor, dry, biting but with a nice mouthfilling floral sweetness. Medium bodied. solid. Beerlando (2347), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 27, 2008 Pours a lightly hazy, dark caramel brown color. A foamy, beige colored head shows nice retention, leaving delicate ribbons of lacing behind. The nose shows a good deal of toasted caramel malts and glazed biscuit notes, balanced out by a decent amount of citrus and grassy hops. The flavor follows suit, with toasted, sweet caramel and some buttery toffee complementing the dry, citrusy, grassy hop billing. Well balanced, smooth, and easy to drink. Medium bodied. Finishes pretty clean. Perhaps a touch too sweet for a session brew, but nice nonetheless. heemer77 (4311), Savannah, Missouri, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Apr 25, 2008 Lightly hazy dark gold to amber colored body with a lightly off white head. The aroma is light oranges with some walnuts. There is also a decent fresh biscuit character. The taste is light toffee and black tea. There is also a little bit of apple hints behind those flavors. This would be a decent beer, but it is almost void of hops in the taste. tomthompson89 (1489), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
