| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 10, 2005 Fairly large head, reddish amber in color. Pretty nice hoppy aroma. Bitter and hoppy but not overly so. Light and refreshing. Good beer to drink during a lazy day. robertsreality (2460), Minnesota, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Mar 31, 2005 Brown Coloring with White Skin. Cheap/Sweet Malt and Hops. Which Comes into Flavor..Even Hot Sauce Would do Little to Blanket the Grainy/Malt Flavor. Swill Lover’s Beer. roder60 (1027), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 24, 2005 Poured a dark red with a small amount of fizzy white head. Aroma is sweet and malty and also a little citrusy. Flavor is smooth and a nice mix of malts and hops. Very nice balance. Could have drank this all night. Went very well with my enchilladas. eboats (889), Omaha, Nebraska, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Mar 20, 2005 Red with an off white head. Aroma had the slightest hint of apricot and perhaps some other fruits that I could not distinguish. Barely noticable fruit in the taste, and very watery. badgerben (3605), Blaine, Minnesota, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 19, 2005 Dark red color with no head. Hmmm... smells like grains... and tastes like a grain silo! Damn, I was hoping they’d make a good session beer out of this, but it just tastes muddled. iwantalambic (1389), St. Louis, Missouri, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 16, 2005 Draught (Chicago Brewpub), 2005 version: clear, dark orange color with a decent white head. Fresh, hop laden aroma with a nice bit of sweet malts and caramel. Flavours were better than I expected with a good pairing of hops to malt, too often ambers forget that the hops should play a part as well, this one allows both to play. Overall a decent brew and one that I could have a couple in one sitting, though there are plenty others I would rather have… Jokes (1453), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 16, 2005 Chicago, 2005. Clear, amber body with a thin, off-white head. The aroma is niceky balanced between whole grains and nuts from the malt side and pine resin on the hoppy side. The body is nothing outstanding--fairly full but also lacking any sort of creaminess. The flavors are good and fairly well balanced. The malt and hops interact well and create satisfaction for the tongue. Certainly not the best beer from Rock Bottom, but not a terrible one considering it’s being marketed to anyone and everyone. PWalk (337), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 7, 2005 KoP near Philly: A decent amber that didn’t impress nor did it depress. On Nitro it was uncommonly smooth.
