dark amber, whispy beige head, sweet hoppy aroma with a hint of citrus, good carmel malt flavor, well balanced with some hop bitterness that leads to a long bitter finish, nice but lacking distinctive character

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 10, 2003 (Cask)Orange-amber, clear; no head. Citrussy hops, peppery, nutmeg aromas. Very hoppy taste, USA hops, sharpish at the end. Impression of gingerbread flavour. Light bodied. Long hard bitter aftertaste. Not bad, but a tad too harsh, not clean-tasting enough.
