| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 16, 2008 Picked up a single 12-oz bottle at Cellar’s Wine & Spirits in St Paul, Minnesota. Pours a clear light copper amber brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that leaves behind an average white ring. Aroma of powdered caramel malt, a touch of cardboard, and some corn grits. Taste is light to medium bodied, some carbonation and flavors of old cellar caramel malt and some grassy hops. Finish is slightly watery, with a thin powdered malt aftertaste. trokini (1027), San Diego, California, USA

Taste is watery and flat for the style. Bread dough, metal, graham cracker, and corn. Wanted more and didn’t get it. JohnC (2280), Mission Viejo, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 14, 2008 This is a very nice looking pour: clear copper with a two finger off white head.
The flavor has some maltiness, some sweetness, and finishes smoothly. rds (230), USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 12, 2008 Bottle. Poured a clear golden-amber color with a moderate beige head that diminished to a layer. Light aroma of caramel, biscuit, spice, and a light hoppiness. Smooth, lightly sweet entry with some undertones of caramel, honey, bready dough, finishing with a light floral hoppiness that balances it out nicely. Light carbonation, and very smooth and easy drinking. Nice, simple beer that could be a nice session beer. Sehr gut. halfonit (468), Fall River, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 12, 2008 A nice and smooth brew. It has a little bit of a sour after taste but it’s nothing overpowering or just unpleasant. It has a very nice dark golden color to it and has a very mild hint of hops Overall it’s a great quality beer. beerbill (1963), Laurel, New York, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 10, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a mostly clear reddish gold with a thin off-white head that faded to a ring after the first sip and left a few spots of lace. Mild aroma of malt with a stronger doughy component. The flavor is very similar with mild malt along with a stronger doughy flavor and some very light honey sweetness as well. Initially, the beer is a bit over-carbonated, but that settles down after the first few sips. Very easy to drink. RunDWP (203), San Jose, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 9, 2008 Bottle. Slight malty aroma. Poured a copper brown with a white head that dissipated after a couple minutes. Some lacing and sheeting on the glass. Really like the flavor. Pretty malty, with some sweetness and nutmeg, with a little orange citrus flavor. Hard to detect any hops bitterness. Very smooth mouthfeel and drinkability.
