It pours a nice dark amber. The taste is dominated by sweet malt, little hops to balance. Drinkable, but not my type of beer. irishsnake (353), Oakland, California, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 11, 2004 Poured a clear orange/amber with a small white head. Lightly malty nose, with some american hops present. flavor is nicely balanced, with toasty/sweet malts backed with just enough hops. good, easy drinking amber ale-like a smooth boont amber.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 25, 2004 Dull hazy golden beer with a slight malty nose. Nice cooky malt with a nice little hopyness with just a twinge of lemon. The malt is slightly caramelized,,,nice beer but everything is a bit too restrained...medium body Silphium (2144), Haslett, Michigan, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Mar 7, 2004 Pours a clear amber/copper color with a thin off-white head. This is a light-bodied ale with earthy hops and toasty/nutty malts. Somewhat bitter. A decent session ale that shouldn't offend anyone. Thanks Dan (jah noth) for the bottle. rudolf (1783), Buffalo, New York, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 29, 2004 Nice beer. Had it last night on tap in Busti, NY.
Nice, golden/amber color, small head.
Faint alcohol smell, not too much.
Taste... very interesting. A bit bitter and dry, slightly peppery almost. Finished nice and smooth.
Definitely drinkable, but was more expensive than other beers, and I was running low on cash, so I only had one for the tasting value. It was worth it.

Nose of malt and ever-so-slight sour milk. Mild malt flavour that has a twist of sourness to it. Average. austinpowers (2828), New York, New York, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 28, 2003 A very nice Mild Ale - and seemingly true to style. The last Mild Ale I had was Victory's Mild, which was like drinking dishwater, so this is a definite improvement. This looks just like an Amber Ale, but the taste is significantly less astringent or bitter than a Bitter or Vienna. How malty is it, just enough that you know you're drinking an ale and not a wimpy lager. Good job.
