| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 8, 2005 12oz bottle, BB 6/17/05...copper/amber color, fizzy head fades quickly...smells of rich carmel, malt, and some unique fruitiness, like grape skins or something earthy like that. Drinks with a medium body, goes down well, with carmelly malt dominating to the semi-sweet finish where some hops show up. Being the only American rendition of this style I’ve had, I’d say kudos to them for producing this beer. Its well done.
Watch the fill levels on this one...I had one bottle that wasn’t even filled to the neck, and it was quite infected. Dorwart (1814), Robbinsville, New Jersey, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 3, 2005 Large, off-white head. Settles sl;owly with light carbonation. Light aroma with a hint of roasted grains and berries. Color is a medium orage amber. Dry and floral flavor with more roasted grains and a slightly puckering sourness to the brew. Decent malt backbone. Dry and tart finish which is slightly gritty in the mouth. A decent brew. Thanks to Drnk_McDermott for this one. Shag (1923), Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA

Well this one pour an amber color. It was very sticky and sweet with an orange and toffee flavor. BIg ol maltiness. One of the better of the style Ive had but nothing too amazing. 21iceman40 (1731), vienna, West Virginia, USA
