| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 24, 2006 first RB beer I’ve had critically. we got a yard of it - wayyy too much. super malty. pretty close to a red/amber ale, i’m surprised it’s a lager. tons of sweet flavor, eventually it got cloying, but not during the first pint so i can’t penalize for that. pretty in red, i didn’t take notes so i dont really remember the aroma, but i had a good impression of the beer overall so it was probably good. 3.1 score is a shame.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Apr 14, 2006 Fresh hop nose with some honey, reddish amber color. Quick toasted malt, caramelly too. Hops - yes - fairly strong bitter. Balance off - too grassy bitter. YogiBeera (2437), Hamburg, Germany
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 10, 2006 Sampled at Rock Bottom in Chicago. Nice light copper color and a medium head that leaves laces. Very light hoppy nose. Medium intense hoppiness in the beginning- with a medium roasted malt finish. awaisanen (1279), Irvine, California, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Mar 23, 2006 On tap at Rock Bottom Chicago. Transparant, orangish red coloring with a small, almost non-existant ring of white head. The aromas aren’t unpleasant, but are very mind-numbingly typical: Some sweet maltiness accompanies a light grassy hoppiness. Thin, watery texture, but the light caramely flavors are well balanced with the gentle mown lawn hoppiness. Clean finish. leitrim65 (398), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 16, 2005 On tap at Rock Bottom - Chicago location. Reddish amber color. Fruity sweetness in the nose. Weak in body with mild sweet malt flavoring and a gentle touch of hops. Not too bad. davidoc (113), Chicago, Illinois, USA
