| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 26, 2009 Bottle for breakfast/lunch. Poured an orange/amber color with a tan, frothy head. Long lasting. Aroma of chewy caramel, vanilla, yeast and citrus. Quite sweet. Flavor was not really all that good for the style. Malt dominated, with some earthy/citrus hops in the finish. Not all that flavorful or tasty. Some mineraliness in the finish which was not desirable. Not great. jkwalking05 (1483), Arlington, Texas, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 21, 2009 Pours deep amber with creamy off-white head. Aroma of hops a little off-putting. I love hop aroma, but this is certainly different. Background caramel malts. Hopped up taste that overshadows the malt a bit. Doesn’t quite balance the way I would have liked it too. Much prefer Sprecher’s lager collection. travita (1910), Frisco, Texas, USA

The look is golden orange in color, clear, and has a white head. The taste is very sweet, pine, hops, some bitterness, and caramel. angrypirate06 (759), Texas, USA
