| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Dec 20, 2005 Bright orange with, I guess, some hint of red. Lightly malty, roasty flavor with some hints of nuts (almonds), although not really in a good way. Fairly empty sugar sweet flavor with little malt character, just a bit more of the nuttiness. Light hint of citrus, finish is fairly fatty with only a hint of bitterness. Brigadier (1246), Chagrin Falls, Ohio, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Dec 17, 2005 Meh. Palateable but slightly below average. Picked up at Brennan’s on University Avenue (Madison, WI). There’s nothing unique about this ale. DavidP (1743), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA

Dry crystal malt and butter in the aroma Boring flavor: dry brown/caramel malt. Nothing distinguished in the hop department. turbo (1254), Arizona, USA

White fizzy head. Nose was sweet-sour of malt. This was an easy drink, nothing spectacular, but good. Bockyhorsey (2546), Mesa, Arizona, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 2, 2005 Updated: Jun 28, 2006I got this beer through my beer club. I am not familiar with the brewer. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer pours a bright reddish bronze color with a small tan head that fades quickly. The aroma is sweet malts with a hint of nut and a light spicy hop element. The flavor is sour malts with a moderately strong floral hop character. The finish is light and hoppy. OhioDad (2491), Hilliard, Ohio, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 13, 2005 12 oz bottle via trade with heemer77 - Thanks Eric! - Pours amber with a short offwhite head that laces some. Aroma of caramel malts and floral hops. Interesting malt profile. Very octoberfest-like on the flavor. Some bitter hops finish it off but nothing overwhelming. Palate is medium bodied with a fair amount of carbonation. Very drinkable but also very ho-hum. Not bad though.
