| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 9, 2008 Very clear and beautiful maple amber color with an inch of thick off-white head. Aroma of sweet, almost caramel, pine hops. Sweetness is there with a mild caramel at first, but the hop finish is unpronounced. It starts to transition to the slightly bitter hops and then just falls off. I like the body though and I think it’s still a good beer. Peregrinari (54), Washington, Washington DC, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 8, 2008 This is a nice amber with a bold hop character. The aroma is hops with some sweet malt and mild yeast. Flavor is nice and hopy with citrus and pine and a mild floral note. Finish is a bit sticky but not in a negative way. I like this beer and continue to buy it a few times a year. slf245 (50), USA

Sweet floral hop aroma with some yeasty undertones. Hints of citrus fruit and malt. Malty grainy flavor with some hops. Sweet honey flavor with a touch of bitterness on the end.. Very smooth and easy to drink. Good carbonation. Excellent easy to drink beer. DeadGuyFrank (347), http://westchesterbeer.com, USA

About two years ago I had this I liked, nice solid classic tasting amber ale. Last week, because I had not had it in about four months I grabbed a six pack - holy crap WHAT HAPPENED! Way too much hops, way too much. Very sweet, too sugary grapefruity taste, not balanced. iride15 (171), Orlando, Florida, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 29, 2008 This beer looks great, a clear ruby body with a decent off-white head. Smells of hops, but fruity (not citrus) and a little malt. The flavor is hop-dominated, but not quite bitter enough and its a little watery. sawyej26 (18), Glenside, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 11, 2008 Bottled. An elegant aromatic bouquet. Pours a dark umber hue with creamy opalescent head. Ambrosial profuse flavor; mellifluous malt succeeded by a perfect efflorescent hop presence with hints of vanilla and a slight bitter nuttiness.
