| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Dec 29, 2007 Pours a red color. Very faint, almost approaching copper. Nice sized head to start off. Quickly went away and no laching. Aroma is weird. Smells like a red with something wrong. Flavor is malty but bland. Nothing special here and it seems like it is targeted to the macro drinker. I wish my home town could do better. kmweaver (2501), Sebastopol, California, USA

Pours a golden orange color; minimal off-white head. Light sugar and slightly plasticy aroma; not much here.

smells and tastes of caramel. a little smoky and a little malty. it bites the palate a little too sharply for my taste. I like a beer I can enjoy by the sip AND the gulp but this beer is un-gulpable.
overall not bad but I won’t be going back for more. ChainGangGuy (2619), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA

Smell: Light aroma of toasted grains and biscuits with a pat of butter.
Taste: Toasted malts upfront along with crumpled biscuits and butter. Very little sweetness throughout. Finishes with a mild citrus flavor.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Somewhat watery.
Drinkability: A drinkable, but less than thrilling amber ale. CaptainCougar (5538), Rockville, Maryland, USA

Aroma of toasted grainy caramel malt and some floral buttery doughy notes. Body starts with some light caramel malty sweetness and toasty, nutty notes toward a blander earthy finish. A pretty dull amber. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
