| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 6, 2003 Dark straw color with a lumpy white head and lots of lace. Balanced aroma of toasty malts, floral hops, and some fruit. Interesting flavor with a hop kickoff, a fruity malt mid-session, and a flowery, bitter hop finish. Palate is smooth and creamy with nice carbonation. A pleasant and surprising deviation from the boring hordes of west coast American pale ales. Slick (1962), Thief River Falls, Minnesota, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 7, 2003 Nice malty caramel nose, almost buttery. Very unusual, yet pleasant flavor. I think I taste some apricot in there, but it is hard to really tell what the flavor is. Not really something I would try again. Ernest (4495), Boulder, Colorado, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | May 17, 2003 Head is initially average sized, frothy, off-white, mostly diminishing. Body is clear dark yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (cookie), moderately hoppy (pine, resin). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, velvety texture, lively carbonation. Decent, but not my kind of hops. Good mouthfeel. elnadeau (786), Laguna Niguel, California, USA
