Aroma is pretty weak with some malt and caramel notes. Sweetish malty flavor with some toast and caramel and a dry finish. Medium-bodied. JoeMcPhee (5025), Jackson Heights, New York, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Dec 30, 2008 Tap. Amber coloured brew with a thin white head. Aroma is lightly fruity and a bit sweet and nutty. Flavour has a kiss of buttery diacetyl that I can’t really say I care for. Chewy with a light sweet nuttiness and a chewy earthiness as well. Light toastiness with some soft maltiness and a lingering grassy flavour. BMan1113VR (2916), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 28, 2008 On tap at deep orange body and a white head. Hardly any aroma at all. Taste is spicy and malty husky with an odd aftertaste. Slightly fizzy and a bit on the dry side. LtDan (520), Los Angeles County, California, USA
| 1.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 3/20 | Dec 7, 2008 I see the locals get this beer by the pitcher, and wonder why I havent tried it. Now I know why. Pours a beautiful amber/red. Smells like Henry Weinhardt and tastes like it. Real nutty and bready but neither make it enjoyable. kmweaver (2481), Sebastopol, California, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 27, 2008 Draft @ Pizza Port - Carlsbad. Pours a bright, clear-orange color; thin, off-white head with fine-bubbled lacing. Decent amounts of husky malts, candy sugar, and oranges in the aroma; slightly reserved but nicely dry. Medium mouthfeel: solid carbonation, nicely toasty malt core featuring dried oranges, toast, and a light amount of honey; nice mineral / earthy bitterness at the edges, balancing things out; very crisp, well-done amber. Medium finish: toasty malts, mineral bitterness; nicely dry end.
