| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 22, 2007 Updated: Dec 28, 2007Now contract brewed by Ruby Mountain: Beige label of the saloon with a dripping blood bucket in the middle: Pours a transparent dark bronze copper with a spotty-lacing white head. Aroma of lightly sweet, grainy pale malt and grapefruity hops. Body is thinner and lightly sweet with a decent bittering and flavor hop balance before a drier, lightly toasty finish. Seems like an APA to me. BückDich (4857), McCall, Idaho, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 6, 2004 Copper/amber color with light sticky head & lacing. The aroma is maty with toffee, nuts & some caramel/butterscotch, maybe a little diactyl. Light but noticable hops. The flavor has a good body & balance to hold up the sweet/hops. Finishes a bit on the bitter side with a lasting tail. Not too bad, very decent amber. Lubiere (4551), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 26, 2008 A hazy golden amber ale with a thick dissipating white head. Pleasant light floral hops, with notes of strawberry jam. In mouth, a decent yet light ale with light mineral notes, short floral hops, a bit too short. Light to medium bodied. Not bad. Bought at Booze Bros, August 2007. Sampled May 26 2008. Braudog (3774), Dayton, Ohio, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 1, 2003 There's a caramel nose here on a dark copper beer with a firm head. Despite the average amber flavors, this is a nice beer and the bitter finish rescues it from mediocrity. ChainGangGuy (2608), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 1, 2007 A very malty aroma. Taste is dominated by malts throughout. Not my style of beer. The hops are hiding.
