| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 28, 2008 Pours golden color. Thin white head. Decent lacing. Yeasty, slightly hoppy finish. Not what I was expecting, but a descent offering. SpudClampDawg (1027), Jasper, Indiana, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 27, 2008 12oz bottle: Shimmering golden pour with a thick, creamy white that does settle eventually. The aroma is grainy from the start, lots of earthy hay, cereal grain, grape nuts, granola. A blanket of ether sits atop as does a touch of grassiness. The body is nice and creamy, offering more depth to the malt profile. Addtional notes of muddled caramel, sweet toffee, wet straw, clover honey. Again, the hops and alcohol add a touch of influence, but this really is about the malts. Nice. hophead75 (1964), Boonton, New Jersey, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 19, 2008 12 oz bottle. Clear golden with some orange hues, small retaining off white head. Aroma of light noble hops, as well as some pale malts and light honey. Taste is malty with some honey and biscuity malts- lightly bready, medium bodied, with a nice dose of noble hop bitterness in the finish. DrDavid (957), Johnson, Vermont, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 10, 2008 (Bottle). Aroma of aromatic hops and slight malt, a touch of sweet citrus. Honey gold body, creamy off-white head. Flavor a delicious blend of semi-sweet malt, subtle honey, and fruit. Clean finish with a trace of bitterness. Excellent.

| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 25, 2008 I thought it had a really funky aroma, almost like barley that is malting. The taste was way on the malty side, which was appropriate for style. peter (385), Dallas, Texas, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 20, 2008 Translucent orange pour. Nose is honey and sweet malts. Flavour follows suit with some near belgian bubblegum and alspice. Chalky, yet pleasant finish. Very good. machfive55 (234), Columbia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Aug 28, 2008 Pours gold with an awesome carbonation that lasts forever. The aroma is hoppy with some malty notes. The beer is strong but you would not realize it is 7% at first. There are some strong sweet caramel notes along with a piney hop presence and a very up-front bitterness. The beer finishes much sweeter than it starts out. A good beer, but I could not drink much of this at one time. desurfer (1068), Pinellas Park, Florida, USA
