| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 3/5 | 6/20 | Apr 21, 2008 The appearance is dark amber with not much head. It smells like apple juice with a little malt mixed in. The flavor is just as flat as the aroma. It has a kind of iced tea flavor with a hint of apple. topherh (936), Kearney, Missouri, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Apr 14, 2008 12 oz bottle pours deep brown. Aroma of sweet malt and caramel. Flavor is of lightly roasted malt, sweet malt, and a slight bitterness. MrManning (1652), London, Ontario, Canada
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Apr 12, 2008 Malty, caramel, slightly nutty nose. Pours from the bottle a transparent amber/brown with an off white cap. Sweet, nutty, grainy flavour profile shows some rye bread, brown sugar and the faintest hop. Quite drinkable, with a watery sweet-ish finish. Standard stuff. Soonah (965), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Apr 12, 2008 Pour was a clear brown with lighter copper notes. Little if any head, mostly just off-white bubbles spinning atop the beer. The aroma was malt with light hints of spice. Some bitter yeastiness. The flavor was lightly roasted malt and spice, all cut with an unpleasant bitterness. Lots of carbonation and a thin mouthfeel. Just barely a step beyond a BMC product. Meh.

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Apr 11, 2008 Pours dark brown with a big creamy light tan head. Aroma of malt, toffee, perhaps a tinge of caramel. Flavour was very lacking and muted, but with a slight nutty characteristic to it. A somewhat watery bock with thin flavour.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 10, 2008 Pours a clear brown color with a light, thin, head. Aroma is light. Slightly malty, with a hint of yeast. Flavor is pretty good. mostly malt. Little to no hop flavor. Reminds me of a Brown ale, only more carbonated and less flavorful. Pretty decent but nothing amazing. WesKBob (321), Bethany, Oklahoma, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Apr 7, 2008 Pours a clear medium brown with lots of carbonation. Medium-sized, off-white head is made up of extremely large bubbles and dissipates quickly. Aroma and flavor are both malty with a solid dose of fruity sweetness. A little too much carbonation. Not something I would use a session beer, but a solid entry on a hot day or with food off the grill. BeerFanDan17 (625), Land O Lakes, Florida, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Apr 7, 2008 (cleaning out my beer bottle collection as pictured in my profile and utilizing ratebeer.com)
As I recall, this is a classic American style dark lager. Nice malty flavors, sweet, and smooth.
