| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 23, 2008 Medium amber color that pour with fairly weak head. Aroma is citrus with good piney hops. Flavor is interesting. It contains hints of nut and citrus especially grapefruit with strong bitterness that is slightly overpowering. The malt is well balanced so that it does not get in the way as with bigger beers and the hops do not overpower as can be the case with some high hop content beers. Finishes pretty clean but has a bit of stickyness and a drying quality on the tongue. Overall, not too bad a beer that I would drink again. Collint (458), Sylva, North Carolina, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 22, 2008 Draft at Dain’s. I dig this beer and find it quite easy to drink. Nothing crazy on the palate--not a hop wallop, not too much rye... just great balance and a fantastic low-alcohol beer. A go-to beer for me if I want to drink a few beers but don’t want a buzz. thill25 (218), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Mar 20, 2008 Draft...Poured a delicious looking dark orange/ w a thick white head. Great lacing all the was to the last drop...Nose was of florals, pine, citrus, grass, grains, malts. Tastes were very similar, but the malts did shine through on the front w/ a medium hopped finish that fades off the palate. Very solid APA. Went great with the slad and pizza...

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 17, 2008 12oz bottle courtesy of brentfeesh. Aroma was floral and of potting soil to plant flowers. Dark golden body with off white head. Burnt malt flavor mixed with pepper and mild bitterness. Not much of an aftertaste at all. Smooth enjoyable brew after work. Thanks Brent. lamas (724), Adams Morgan, Washington DC, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 14, 2008 Bottle. Best if enjoyed before: 07/12/08. Pours a deep copper with a smallish light-tan head. A floral aroma with a bit of citrus fruits present. Thin to medium-bodied with a fairly soft mouthfeel. Grainy malts dominate the initial taste. Ends with some subtle spiciness and bitter, citrusy hops that don’t linger around too long. Solid session brew. miketd (683), Cleveland, Ohio, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Mar 8, 2008 Thanks to TURDFEGUSON for the bottle.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Mar 1, 2008 Another opportunity brought to me by ncvbc.
Bottle poured a good finger’s worth of white bubbly head on top of a clear gold body in my pint glass. The head dissolves away to a nice thick lace
Aromas of rye and grasses along with some bread and hops fill your nose
Nice malt sweetness comes through first followed by some grasses (rye) and a good hop finish. Great balance in flavors
Clean and soft mouthfeel with just enough carbonation
A session beer for sure very drinkable and easy to kick back a few
