| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 24, 2004 Aroma was caramelly malt with a hint of hop. Appearance was nice dark amber with a smallish head that quickly vanished. Flavour is lightly malty with a tiny bit of roatiness finishing with a hint of fruit and a pleasant hop bitterness. Fairly highly carbonated and a little thin but doesn’t loose anything toward the end. Pailhead (2603), Allen Park, Michigan, USA

That guy onn the bottle long looked like someone that was looking for a hand out. Well, he got it and I got this in return. Not so terrible a deal as it was on sale, just not near as good as other Young’s. Dalle (1146), Skørping, Denmark

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 4, 2004 Dark red amber with a short lived frothy head. Honey, malt and smoked oak aroma. Distinct hoppy bitterness and a long aftertaste. BBB63 (4267), La Porte, Indiana, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 3, 2004 Coppery hue with initial good frothy head which faded into a small ring, some lace. The aroma hints of grassy and floral hops, light caramel and toffee malting, and earthy yeast esters. The taste is mostly of a smooth bitter nature surronded by sweet malts and a smoky tone. A touch of apple and pear notes. The finish is subdued bitter and earthy qualities. The mouthfeel is thin and watery, not to crisp but not flat either. Overall a quaffable unassuming beer.

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 30, 2004 Bottled. Best before April 2003. Very mellow, subtle use of the hops and malt. Reddish hue. The finish is slightly bitter. Pretty boring. If I ever have this again it will only be from a cask. Drinkable; mildly enjoyable.
