The score was calculated based upon the notes and an old scoring system.

Very Clean, Light taste, A great introduction to better beerscaramel, amber, clear, white foam, frothy, medium sweetness, medium bitterness, light body, thin feel, average carbonation,

A deep red pour with little head. Draught at Union Jack's in Knoxville. A deep brownish/red color. Not much aroma and very smooth. Kind of watered down. The taste didn't last long enough to appreciate it.

Chestnut brown, tan head. Absolutely no aroma. Water start, Then kind a nutty flavor, followed up with a citrusy-sweet-tart finish. Kind of bland.

Aroma is fairly non existent. Appearance is a brownish red with decent lacing. Flavor is hopped with some sourness. Palate is a little watery and a touch bitter. Not a bad beer for something to sip on but nothing amazing at all.

Dark gold with nonexistent head. Sweet and fruity, with a slight bitter finish,somewhat similar to a Belgian style ale. Flavors were good, but didn't seem to last long enough to appreciate them.

Copper to light brown in color. Nose was light, sweet malts, caramel and grassy notes. Sweet malts were aplenty at first sip and the end had a bit of a peppery bite.

Great colour, with a fairly normal smell. Good taste with some detectable malt and hops. Not a bad beer!
