| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 26, 2006 Bottle: I have no idea how I ended up with one of these in my hand today. Golden/red color with a medium white head. Kind of a skanky aroma that really put me off. Some carmel malt notes, and a mild hop flavor. If you can get past the aroma it’s not terrible. Perhaps there should be a best when congested label. NYHarvey (2154), New York, New York, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 10, 2005 Funky and acerbic aroma. Tea colored with a big fluffed up white head. Mild hop fore then malt and grains with a hay like finish. Tastes too similar to their 90 shilling for both of them to be to style. Lumpy (1802), Carrollton, Texas, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Oct 4, 2005 Tap at brewey. Malt, tea, citric juices. Some light spice and soap. Not really a good example of the style, although it does have a few good points. Beaver (599), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Aug 22, 2005 12 oz bottle. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a smallish white head that retain fairly well and leaves some lacing.
The aroma is sweet honey malt and some DMS.
The flavor is sweet and earthy malts with a touch of citrus. It has a little bit of a bitter crisp finish. The mouthfeel is pretty thin and watery.
Overall, a pretty average beer. Probably a good starter beer. BeerandBlues2 (3231), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA

Sour malt (meal) and yeast (sweat) aroma with fruit and citrus hop notes. Sour malt flavor with a bitter hop finish. Light bodied and creamy palate. Kevin (1918), Colorado, USA
| 1.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Jul 30, 2005 dark yellow with a sticky white head. aroma is non descript with something close to corn. bitter roast caramel flavor that leaves a slightly burnt grain taste AlchemistZ (493), Richmond, Virginia, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 15, 2004 Deep orange amber with a dense, white head. Nice, yeasty, ale aroma with a sweet, lightly carmelized, toasty malt aroma. Flavor of warm, toasty malt with just the right amount of residual sweetness from light caramel malts and a good ale yeast fruit. There is also a backbone of milky flavor that I more often see in a dark ale. A great malt accented beer perfect for fall or pizza. jefcon (1009), Arlington, Virginia, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 1/5 | 12/20 | Oct 12, 2004 Golden hued with grain and honey aromas. In an effort to be crisp, however, this brew is too simple and out of balance compared to other ambers. Hops dominate, but are brief on the palate. Not much here to take note of. It’s only drinkable in the respect that you would have to throw back a lot of it to get any sense of the beer. Not one of this brewer’s best.
