| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 1, 2009 Not too bad at all. Has a nice reddish gold color. Smells of malts and hops, and what seems to have a small hint of orange peels. Nice flavor, a little bit more on the hoppy side. But that is to be expected with Sierra Nevada. Not too carbonated. Leaves a nice hoppy aftertaste wishing I had more. joebudzjoe (228), Connecticut, USA
