I don’t taste any malt.
amberish color; nice haed and good palate - but not for me.. Chipper (193), Red Lion, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 21, 2009 Clear amber pour with a moderate off-white head. A little hoppy, spicy, and a little malt. Fairly effervescent and bitter taste. A nice ESB. Imbockinsxtx (75), Big Bend, Texas, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 20, 2009 Poured an extremely Frothy/Rocky Beige Head which left a beautiful Orange Amber Rusty looking Nectar in the Shaker Glass (Sorry my last Pint Glass fell on tile- my bad). Typical SN Aroma- Malts balanced by Fresh Hops with nice fizz sensation. Wonderful citrus notes and very refreshing. Hints of Grapefruit certainly ala SNPA. This is a very inobtrusive Bitter that lends it self well for just swilling by the lake or maybe accompanying Foods that need a bitter balance. Cheers! ScottyP (314), Brentwood, Tennessee, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Apr 19, 2009 Pours and amber color with floral hoppy aroma. Slight spice in taste with hops and malts throughout. Lingering aftertaste. Average beer, expecting more considering my love for Sierra Nevada beers. MAP (1089), Lakewood, Ohio, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 19, 2009 Single bottle purchased at Friendly Mini Mart in Lakewood. Nice medium grade floral aroma on this one. View is pretty standard copper haze. Flavor is very fresh malt with mild citrus at the end. Overall not too bad, but lacks the English nuttiness I was hoping for. yemenmocha (427), Glendale, Arizona, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Apr 19, 2009 Pours yellow to slight amber color with generous, foamy white head that retains well.
Nose has a whiff of pine with ample citrus.
Palate is a well balanced hop to malt ratio, with a decent body as well. It’s not often that such a pleasingly hoppy beer can sustain the malt component so nicely and allow you to truly enjoy both simultaneously.
Finish is medium to short. rugbydude05 (305), Kew Gardens, New York, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 18, 2009 pint on tap at a local bar. Pours a clear golden color with moderate head. Aroma is overwhelmingly pleasant with floral scents mixed with spicy sweetness. Taste is sweet also with some bitterness. Palate is smooth despite the bitterness and fills the mouth up with flavor. Really liked this one. Crit (2416), New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada
