| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 18, 2007 Average aroma, maybe the draft is better? A bit grassy tasting. I personally think the hops overwhelm the malt but not in a good way like maybe Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Overall just too much of some spice I can’t put my finger on. morrdt (608), Jacksonville, Florida, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 17, 2007 12 oz. bottle from Total Wine in Jacksonville, FL. Pours a nice dark amber color. Aroma is malty, a touch of hops. Taste is nice and malty with some caramel notes and a bit of hops on the finish. Not that bad. alaskanwarren (286), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 15, 2007 Aroma is fantastic - a nice balanced malty & hoppy aroma. Smells fresh (like some of my fermenters when I’m brewing - THAT fresh), with some hints of spices like mint and nutmeg. Pours a nice amber with a white head that lasts. Flavor isn’t quite as radical, but it’s still nice. This is a very easy drinking, approachable, balanced winter ale. Dough77 (777), Aurora, Illinois, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Dec 12, 2007 I found this to be a really descent drink. Pours a medium golden amber color with small head. Notes of sweet caramel, malt, barley, even some hop. Flavor similar with added malty caramel that makes for a nice drink. gardyloo (12), USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 10, 2007 Bottle says 6%. Poured a slightly dark tea color. Little head. Non descript aroma. Maybe slightly malty with caramel. Tastes pretty much akin to aroma with a hint of nuttiness. Not bad not great but $6 a six it’s worth a shot. TikiE (360), Sylva, North Carolina, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 9, 2007 Nothing very special about this beer. Doesnt really smell like anything except for that smell in your refridgerator that you cant find. Tastes pretty good though, almost sweet. Its good in the fact that I feel that guy on the bottle is blowing down my throat. Beerlando (2341), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 8, 2007 Pours a clear light orange-amber color. A small, fizzy white head quickly subsides, leaving behind a thin layer. Random flares of lacing coat the glass well. The aroma shows toasted caramel, toasted grains, and some mild floral hops. The flavor is essentially the same, with caramel, toast, drying grains, and some bitter floral hops. Pretty well balanced, but lacking real substance. Medium bodied, finishing clean and semi-dry. Decent beer, but a bit boring for my liking.
