| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 20, 2008 Pale golden-orange with a thin cover of white carbonation. Bready yeasty malt aroma, sweet and subdued butterscotch. Taste is pale malts, has that typical blonde taste that I still can’t describe, corny and skunky but neither in a bad way. Good body and light hop bittering finish. bconley (351), Fern Park, Florida, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 20, 2008 12 oz bottle. Wasn’t bad. Golden body. Smells of light malts. Definitely not a fav. Tastes bitter and light. Again, liked this one ok. bkurtz (276), Peru
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 25, 2008 Poured golden with a smallish head. Nice hoppy bitterness and finished smooth, very drinkable. Good, well balanced beer. oteyj (810), Canterbury, New Hampshire, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 23, 2008 Pour is golden with minimal head. Aroma is of grain and some bitter malt. Flavor is a bit lacking and astringent- grainy with sweeter malt. Very drinkable, but not outstanding. ElGaucho56 (393), USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Oct 21, 2008 Pours a pilsner straw gold with evanescent thin head; no lacing. Nose is pretty nice, with a sweet pastry, creamy note and grassy, freshly mown hop character. Not sure you can say this is full-bodied, but then again you can’t say it has a distinctive ’hope’ taste either. Thin palate, but with a decent moderate rooty bitterness to balance the mildly citrusy sweetness. Maybe it’s just that I don’t drink this style often, but I found this to be quite drinkable.

| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Oct 18, 2008 Omnipresent on my trip to Maine in 07, I figured I had to give the damn thing a try. Boy do I regret it! There was absolutely nothing going on with this beer, and it had a truly nasty finish. Regrets, I’ve had a few... chandler0201 (358), Durham, North Carolina, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 2, 2008 Pours a decent golden brown, with a smoky aroma. Bland and sour flavor, kind of like an IPA, with a bit of a bitter aftertaste. Not great but not horrible either. KieferUGA (461), Atlanta, Georgia, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Oct 1, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Golden color with thin, white head. Bready aroma with some smoke. Flavor is really bland. Some malty hints and sweetness, but a weird sour note as well. Finish is muddied, with some bitterness.
