Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of caramel malts and faint bitter hops. Taste is an odd earthy, bean like hop note. Some citrus as well. Medium bodied.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jan 15, 2009 This isn’t bad. It’s not that great either. Pours amber with off-white head. Flavor is bread, malt and finishes on a bitter note from the hops. Falls under the "Decent Pale Ale" category. As it warms I can taste notes of corn in there. Kind of a buzzkill. dchmela (1458), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 14, 2009 Bottle from my friend Ian. Clear light copper pour with a thick white head. Malty aroma with a hint of earthy hop bitterness. Flavor is light malt, slightly biscuit/dough with a touch of hop. Decent session beer. Palidor19 (1792), Brandon, Florida, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Jan 13, 2009 I find this beer very underwhelming in the aspect that it does have some malts and hosp, but the finish gives a bland tap waterish taste that is relevant with every sip nick76 (2684), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jan 13, 2009 The aroma is hoppy with a citrus type hop. The malt is very strong too giving it a nice balance. The appearance is amber gold with a small but foamy head. The flavor is like the aroma with a nice herb-bread like taste. The palate is smooth but thin. Overall this is a good beer. KAggie97 (2479), Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA

Pours a lively amber with a nose of buttery roasted nuts and autumn harvested hops. Flavor is roasted floral hops with a slight grapefruit finish. Average mouthfeel, but nice and tingly. A solid, sessionable beer. mar (1940), Dallas, Texas, USA
