| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 24, 2007 Unremarkable but quite pleasant with barbecue at Blue Smoke in New York. Hazy golden amber, moderate white head. Good balance of malt backbone, lightly bitter American hops, and a floral note. No real complexity or intensity but worked will with the food.

Malt sweetness and hop bitterness, duh, unexciting. There is a hint of apricot fruitiness, but not enough to really make it interesting yemntftb (106), USA

Muted aroma of whole grain bread and caramel malts. Bready, sweet malt taste with a hint of oats and a mild hop presence. Lingering, slightly gummy finish that I find too often in amber ales.

A cloudy dark amber in the glass with a large, off-white, tight head that slowly faded. A robust malt flavor was followed by the hops which were not bitter.
