| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jul 19, 2007 Dark copper pour with diminishing off-white head. Strange aroma, a bit like leather and sour milk with a hint of hops. Tastes a bit chalky and musty. This beer should come in a green bottle. badlizard (2347), Berkeley, California, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 13, 2007 Clear bottle: Caramel malts, an oxidized scent, almost nutty in aroma with some, smoke, Appearance is a reddish/brown semi translucent with a off white head that lingers. Taste definately got some good smooth caramel maltiness to this brew. Goes down really smooth. slightly bitter with a nice smokey and nutty finish. Overall, hey it’s drinkable, the nose is a little off, but the taste pulls through to actually make it a solid brew. I like it. glkaiser (1171), Seattle, Washington, USA

Nice malt first pale ale with just a bit of hops to remind you they exist. A bit floral with some honey sweetness. Good session ale. biggenius29 (155), Hamilton, Michigan, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 3/5 | 10/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jul 11, 2007 Bottle poured into a pint glass. Pours amber with a average size fizzy white head. The aroma is of toasted and caramel malts with a slight piny hop aroma. The flavor is quite complex, toasted caramel malts, piny hops with some banana and a slight hint of nutmeg. The body is light to medium with watery and oily texture and lively carbonation. Overall it is pretty good, nice and malty and finished off by a nice bitterness. robinvboyer (1429), Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Canada

Appearance: Pours a reddish-copper body with a foamy, yellow head.
Smell: Light aroma of floral, soapy hops with a bit of earthy butterscotch.
Taste: A fairly light, almost vacant butterscotch maltiness with some mild, English hops showing in the drying finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Moderate carbonation.
Drinkability: A humdrum offering from Samuel Smith’s Old Brewery that really pales in comparison to their Imperial Stout, Oatmeal Stout, Taddy Porter, and Nut Brown Ale. Ah well.
