| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 27, 2008 500mL bottle shared with my brother-in-law on Christmas day. This was by far the best brew that I had in the four pack sampler. Pours a nice amber color with a one finger width white head that disappeared quickly. The aroma was a nice mix of nuts, light hops, and caramel/sugar malts. Taste consisted of some light fruits with a lot of malts. Good but nothing too exciting. Miksu (2227), Jyväskylä, Finland
