| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 28, 2009 Deep amber pour with a dingy yellow hued smaller head. The aroma is sweet roasted malts. Flavor is true to the aroma, not too strong on the hops, and well balenced with the malts. Carbonation is mild, which is good, however the finish is slow and sloppy, and there is a lingering aftertaste. Other then the finish and aftertaste, this is good.

Clear red appearance but has some lighter qualities. Nice red malt aroma but a definite feeling of hops as well. Good balance between the two on the nose. Watery taste upfront but a definite tingle of hops. Malty backbone but is increasingly ever dry. Dry and bitter finish. TheSponge (281), Lynnwood, Washington, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 10, 2009 Bottle. Pours a lovely deep amber with a golden-kissed head. Toffee, toast, and piney hop aroma and flavour, this turned out to be a nice hoppy little amber with a kiss of citrus cascade in the finish.
