| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 28, 2008 Very nice amber ale. Pours a deep amber with a small, evanescent beige head. Good lacing. Nose is a moderate mixture of pine and grapefruit, with a light overtone of yeast and bread. Taste is a coppery bitter melange of pine and caramel malt, with a little salt thrown in. Mouthfeel is slick and the finish reiterates the salt (but in a good way), and is fairly astringent with a great long bitter echo. cking (1041), North Canton, Ohio, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 27, 2008 Oh man this beer will cure what ails ya! Ripe grapefruit scent with plenty of lemon and pine on top of a layer of sweet caramel and roasted nuts. Dark amber almost brown in color with a 1’’ lasting head and heavy lacing. Middle of the road fullness, drinkable and it sticks with you. Crisp and snappy with a mild bitterness. Explosive flavor that tickles the buds. Lightly burnt malt that is nutty and has a good caramel taste. Fresh wheat bread and plenty of flowery hops providing a blast of citrus and evergreen. Astounding treat, I need a whole lot more of this around. KornDogg (217), Lancaster, Pennsylvania, USA
