| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Mar 25, 2009 Poured amber with a little head. The aroma was on the malty side, notes of caramel. The flavor was mostly malty, very little hop profile and there were chocolatey and caramelly notes. There was a little graininess/huskiness to it. It’s a fairly decent beer, but nothing exciting. Drinkable. mcox90 (654), Wilton, USA

Very spotty lace. Aroma is malty with a background of floral hops. Palate is average with low carbonation. Taste is quite malty and sweet with a hint of hops in the background. An ok brew, it doesn’t suck. Sparky27 (1608), Phoenix, Arizona, USA

Pours clear medium amber with a 2 finger tan head that leaves spotty lacing. The nose is malt and light floral hops. The taste is caramel, toasted malt and earthy hops. Medium bodied – not great but drinkable. jake65 (1725), Williston, North Dakota, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Mar 17, 2009 Bottle: Dark copper color with a fizzy beige head. Dry aroma of florals, earthy, and rye. Tastes mostly sweet and malty up front with a lingering florals trailer. Not real cohesive. PilsnerPeter (2667), Flushing, New York, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Mar 14, 2009 Bottle: Pours a still copper with an off white film of head. Apparent diacetyl in the aroma with bird feed/bland grains (old pale malt) and a caramelized sweetness. Medium carbonation. A shallow caramel sweetness meshes with a grainy bird seed-like malt note. There’s some diacetyl here as well. Mildly hopped. Seems to be near the style, yet it’s underwhelming and quite buttery. Eh. curly (757), Nashville, Tennessee, USA
