| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 23, 2006 Lightly hazed coppery orange, creamy off white head. Soft nose of toast, nutty caramel, and grains, with lesser tones of milk chocolate and orange zest. Light tangy citrus flavors are well balanced by the toasted caramel malt. Light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, malty, slightly grainy finish. Decent session ale, but I tend to expect more when I drink SH brews...

Transparent copper color with a thin fading white head. Mostly just a steady low key malt through all the flavor ranges. Hints of honey and dark breads, but not much else. Pleasant though. bfeldmann (1042), Wilmington, Delaware, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Jan 10, 2006 Poured from 12oz. bottle. Initially a fairly unimpressive head and a slightly stinky nose suggesting the use (or overuse) of Saaz. Fortunately the taste is dominated by much smoother, richer malt flavor that suggests buttered popcorn and toast. Unfortunately the finish is a little lacking. A commendable brew certainly for its cohesion to the style. Lubiere (4551), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 2, 2006 Dark golden ale with a small off-white head. Light malt aroma with skunks notes (hops?). Rather dry malt with classy german hops. Rather disappointing for Southampton. May 2005. TheBeerGod (3171), Newport News, Virginia, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 1, 2006 Bottle. Pours a lovely bronzed amber with a small tanned head. Nose is malty and sem-sweet with a bit of wet grass, earthiness, Euro hops, and grains. Taste has some dusty cocoa, Euro hops, grass, chewy malts, hint of toffee and pumpernickel bread. Body is medium with a moderate carbonation feel. Finishes with more semi-sweet maltiness, light cocoa, hint of toffee, dark breadiness, and light grassy notes. Not bad.
