<b>9/26/2007</b>: Pyramid Broken Rake has a malty and sugary caramel aroma with a malty flavor containing tea, floral hops, and something spicy in the finish (cinnammon perhaps?). This beer is well-balanced between a moderate sweetness and a mild hoppiness. Medium-bodied and smooth. Good.

<i>Sample(s) from 12 fl. oz. bottles (Enjoy by 121407 B386; 6.1% Alc./Vol.) shared at the September 2007 Jundale Beerklub Tasting. Thanks! Rating #144 for this beer.</i>

Bottle, shared with Tyler Durden. Bright orange amber, thin off-white head. Aroma of spicy caramel and faint orange peel. Palate is chewy caramel (no spice however), and some nice fruit acids to offset the sweetness. Really nice! Better than the Breckenridge Avalanche we tasted alongside.

Reviewed 11/2/2008 (bottle): Pours a clearish light brown body, very active bubbles on the side of the glass. Lowish whitish head but quickly diminishing. Malty nutty aroma, with some fresh smells like hay. Some fruitiness too, like strawberries or something. Malty taste, that same hay-like smell. Some light berry fruitiness, maybe fig. Average mouthfeel, not too thin, a little fizzy on the tongue. Eh, not my style.

Pours a clear amber with a fizzy light brown head that goes away completly and leaves no lacing. Aroma of dark fruits, caramel malts and a bit of graham cracker. Taste starts off with some caramel and some banana flavors, light spices but finishes very sweet with notes of cardboard. Fizzy and water like.

Light amber with a small head.A. roma is slightly like bread crust but with a hint of sourness. Tastes the same as aroma with a touch of hops. Goes down easy but not much to it. ABV hidden.
