Lable looks like it was put on by hand.
Clear amber with lots of carbonation and a thin tanish head.
Aroma is mostly nutty with a little caramel.
Flavor is light burnt sugar with a light earthy citrusy bitterness.
Body is light and finish is short.. thehinge (244), Wilmington, Delaware, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Dec 20, 2006 Gotta say this is better than most American pales....not saying a lot, this I know. Copper pour that has a small head, very little lacing. Nutty malts with a weird finish....alcohol isn’t hidden very well. I would pass if I were offered this again. dolemike1 (1129), Jeannette, Pennsylvania, USA

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Dec 10, 2006 This pours a deep amber into the glass, with a tiny head that has no real retention and leaves small lace. The nose initially has some strawberries, earthen hops, trace corn and possibly some nut combinations. The flavor begins the descent, unfortunately. This
is very thin-bodied, leaving the malt barren and very lackluster. The finish is bitter, long, and bordering on acrid at times. It almost has a hue of salt to it that is a bit uncomfortable. Overall, very unimpressed. I was hoping for a bit more.... seems very unilateral and one-dimensional. dkoonce (884), People’s Republic of Athens, Ohio, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Dec 4, 2006 Clear copper, with a thin but persistent head. Heavy malt aroma, with a bit of a sour hop note. Heavy and oily, with a sweet, somewhat tart hop finish. ford9719 (369), Vilseck, Germany
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Nov 30, 2006 Bottle. Thanks to friends in Idaho. Poured a light brown. 1 finger head. Has a maltly aroma. Has a chocolate taste. SynergyXJ (506), Blacksburg, Virginia, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 28, 2006 Updated: Nov 29, 2006Bottle Dark amber pour with very nice head, little retention, good lacing. Aroma of some malt, light hop, but mainly citrus. Slight citrus flavor, some sweetness, malt+caramel, earthy hops. Spice in the begining of the aftertaste followed by citrus hops. Smooth and drinkable. Not that its unbalanced, but theres something weird about it, a very interesting blend of ingredients. I’ll give it some extra points for originality.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 26, 2006 Pours well with a dark amber color and a fluffy white head. Aroma is a pretty good mixture of malt and hops, but something is off... not sure what. Taste is the same, but more exaggerated. Something is just plain wrong here, and it gets worse as I try to finish. I think it may be the combination of chocolate malts with the english style ale.... the whole beer seems to be unbalanced. Not so good, I won’t be getting this one again.
