| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jun 14, 2009 Bomber. Clear copper with a lasting quarter inch of foam. Nose is butterscotch, grain, orange marmalade and molasses. Tastes of butterscotch hard candy turning to orange marmalade then to some slight resin and peppery rye and wood on the finish. Gets drier and better as you go. Near-medium body is smoothly carbonated and dryish. Some creamy-soapy lace left on the glass. Fairly good session ale. unclemattie (2439), Georgia, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Jun 8, 2009 22oz bottle. Very cool label. Pours an amber color. Tall eggshell colored, creamy head. Aroma consists of a multigrain cereal or a bag of granola, some earthiness, some light toffee, and with a distant floral hop aroma. Nice citrus hop bitterness. Mostly the flavor of the malt. Welcoming spicy rye is on the more mellow side, nice light whole grain malt flavor. Medium to light bodied. Flavor doesn’t last on the palate too long, smooth and creamy mouthfeel add to the body. It is a good beer. guzzler67 (1287), Hanover, Maryland, USA

Subtle floral and citrus hop aroma with a hint of toasted malts.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 30, 2009 Light copper color. Medium head that laces. Aroma is slightly malty. Taste is also somewhat on the malt side. Hops are there but not as present as I would like in an IPA. Decent beer. Not the best IPA but I’ll give it another chance.
