| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 15, 2004 12 oz bottle. Bright orange, smallish dimishing head. Surprising hoppiness in the aroma at first, but big tough maltiness shows up quickly. Sweet, rather sugary in fact in the flavor, light herbs and wood towards the end. Not up there with Stoudts’ best, but quite nice. Yankovitch333 (612), Chesapeake City, Maryland, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 9, 2004 Pours a dark clear amber with a thin off-white head that didn’t last. Mildly sweet and malty aroma, with hotes of honey and earth. Bread crust, yeast, honey, caramel, and some spice. Mild bitter finish. Reminds me of a GOOD version of Yuengling Lager. For the style it’s a not bad. Silphium (2137), Haslett, Michigan, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | May 9, 2004 Pours fiery copper with a thin off-white head. Biscuity, hoppy (grass, earth) aroma. Very sweet body with definite honey flavors, also biscuit, light fruit, and a hint of caramel. Earthy hops balance the sweet malt and honey. Slightly bitter aftertaste. The honey flavor works well in this tasty lager. dirtymike (2018), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 3, 2004 Clear orange with a thin white head. Sweet nose with a hint of alcohol, medium bodied, starts and ends lightly sweet. sloth (1673), Ceciltucky, Co., Maryland, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 26, 2004 Large tan head, good retention, skimpy lacing. Clear orange/copper color. Light floral nose, sweet malt and hints of honey. medium body. Sweet malt flavors, vinous notes. Alcohol is well hidden. Finish is sweet. DrGonzo (625), Somerville, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 24, 2004 Ruby golden color, no head. Smells like a lager, plus honey, red apple. Wow is this sweet, strong flavor and mouthfeel of honey; I'm thinking honey goes better with ales than lagers, especially a bock. Alcohol flavor is up in the mix too, slight burn in the finish to match the honey dripping down my throat. Tastes like a decent lager underneath, too much honey. willblake (2177), Belcamp, Maryland, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Apr 19, 2004 12oz Bottle. 04.19.04. Pour is darkly golden, big head quickly fades leaving no trace, no lace. After a couple minutes the beer looks totally flat. Aroma is malty, doughy, salty(?). Smells a bit like a soft pretzel, actually. The flavor is mostly an assault of malt. There are hints of something vegetal, and again I note salt. Very slight bitterness on the finish seems out of place, although it sounds like it is true to the style. Some lingering honey and earth/grass in the aftertaste. An unusual style, not one that I'm in love with.
