| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 10, 2009 Pours deep amber into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to sicken surface. Butterscotch and sourdough bread aromas. Medium bodied with upfront caramel and a dry finish. mikehanneman (5), USA does not count | 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Dec 8, 2009 I guess everyone has a different palate, but I don’t understand the low ratings people give this beer. I buy it by the case. Excellent aroma, great taste. One of the better ales I have tasted. This seems to be Boulder Beer’s strength....ales. Their IPA is good too. Give this product a chance and you will be pleased with your purchase. Solid ale. jdskinns (21), South Roxana, Illinois, USA
| 1.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 3/5 | 6/20 | Nov 15, 2009 Poured a creamy, foamy head. Transparent with a color a few shades lighter than a penny. Only slight carbonation other than the head. Smell is sweet with a little bit of a hop aroma. Not a lot going on taste wise. Very watery. Only a slight hop flavor that goes away very quickly. Very drinkable due to how light it is, but not very good. brewski519 (433), Morrisville, North Carolina, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 12, 2009 12 oz bottle - pours a clear copper color with a thin white head and little lacing. Metallic aroma with some hop, caramel and a little citrus. Taste is somewhat thin, with faint hop, malt and sweetness. Goes down pretty easy - not a complex beer by any strech of the imagination. corby112 (774), philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

Pours a dark amber/copper color with golden orange hues when held to a light source and a one finger white head that quickly fades into a lasting ring. Not much in the way of lacing.
Rosted malt aroma with some biscuit and rye notes as well as some subtle floral hops. Kind of bland with not much standing out.
Again the flavor is kind of bland. Slightly watered down with a caramel and rye character with some toasty biscuit notes balanced out by subtle floral hops. There’s nothing special about this beer and seems to be made for drinking in large session rather than a profound sipper.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 10, 2009 Copper in color. Surprise, surprise..... Nice nose. Lightly floral, wild flowers. Gently hopped. Clean and simple. Lacking flavor though. ROGUE (712), Newark, Delaware, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 12, 2009 On tap and 12oz bottle. Pours a coppery amber with a big fluffy head that leaves big sudsy lace. Smell is foral and hoppy with a big hit of caramel malt. Taste is biscuity malt with some sticky hops in the background. Medium bodied and mildly carbonated. An ok brew. drowland (1431), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 6, 2009 12oz bottle into a pint glass. Pours a couple finger head, was too dark outside to see the beer color. Aroma is sweet and slightly soapy. The flavor is sweet and grainy with a dash of dry smelling hops and grain. The mouthfeel was medium carbonation and slightly creamy.
