Initial taste is sweet malt fading to spices. Still can’t tell if it is ginger? Dry finish with a little bitterness to it. PorterPounder (3147), Tallahassee, Florida, USA

Pours a dark honey color with a thin off-white head and minimal lacing. The aroma is fairly malty, with a little bread and caramel. Light and sweet mouthfeel, with earthy malt, and hops flavors. The finish is zesty and lightly bitter. Not a bad job on this one. jhollera (1), Austin, Texas, USA does not count | 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 10, 2004 My first beer rating !

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 25, 2004 Bottle Pours a clear medium amber with a nice fluffy white head that maintains quite well. Lacing is hefty and chunky. Toasted grain and bready notes on the nose and a slight hop slant. Flavors are sweet and bready with little hops and a soft wheat bread aftertaste. Very plain and simple but not unpleasant. Soft carbonation.
Not bad. Thanks again to Kaggie97 for this texas brewskie Sancho (245), Da Bronx, New York, USA
