| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Sep 27, 2006 On tap at the Green Leafe. Big translucent amber pour...minimal white head. Very simple mild malt nose...weak caramelish notes. Flavor is nothing beyond what would be expected...earthy malts, mild fruity malt notes..medium bodied, minimal hop bitterness. Another Red Hook disappointment. Sregnar35 (730), Rotterdam, New York, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 26, 2006 Excellent stuff. Pours a slightly thin orange with a crown of white head. Aroma is sweet orange peel and hay. Flavor is hoppy to finish, and nicely sweet, with that nice orange essence. sneagrams3 (1759), St. Louis, Missouri, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Sep 24, 2006 12oz bottle. Clear and amber. Circle of white head. Bready caramel nose. Medium and malty sweet. Nice amber. Maybe a lil light? michaeltrego (101), Amherst, New Hampshire, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 24, 2006 A nicely balanced amber ale, though it doesn’t have any particular feature to draw you back for pint number two. scluffman (14), Excelsior, Minnesota, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 24, 2006 Medium-dark copper color with an off-white, thin head. Very little perceptible aroma. Taste of citrus, roasted malt and a mild, floral hoppy finish with a touch of iced tea flavor to it. A bit on the watery side, but a pleasing level of carbonation giving it a decent palate score. Decently dry finish with a bit of a brace to it. Okay session beer.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 23, 2006 A pleasant suprise! Nice full mouth feel, and more hop bitterness than many amber ales. TChrome (1302), Bedford, Texas, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 22, 2006 Beer pours up an attractive copper color with a nicely retained beige colored head. Aroma is sweet malt like sweet bread with a light dry spice hop note as well. Flavor is sweet, with just a bit of hop bitterness, but not enough for my taste. Not an awful amber, but not terrific either. Obviously not an east coast only beer anymore, as I bought it here in Texas. PGA324 (85), Savage, Minnesota, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 19, 2006 A fairly ordinary beer, seemed to become more water flavored as beer warmed. Amber in color, clear, average head. Expect more from a seasonal.
