| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 5, 2006 On tap at the brewpub. Orange in color with an off-white head. Good head, but no aroma. Nice malty and hoppy balance to the flavor. Great money forms on the head. Super thick lacing. Strong up-front sweetness of berries. Seems to have a quick finish for such a heavy beer. bb (2919), Martinez, California, USA
