| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 19/20 | Jun 21, 2006 Not impressed with the aroma. Kind of dusty and stale smelling. Looks great with copper color body and nice head. Flavor is very nice indeed! Big fruitiness up front followed by malts and a hop finish. The more it taste it the more I like it. webjedi (249), Silver Spring, Maryland, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 19, 2006 Updated: Apr 2, 2007Light amber, frothy stiff head, with slow disappaition. Slight sweet hop aroma. Sweet and creamy on the tongue. Light bitters, but namely a smooth malt. A light bit of yeast can be ascertained, chewy with a slight woody aftertaste. Slight bland light fruit (apple) taste. (Botte Pour 6/19/2006)
UPDATE: The green bottle version, has a bit stronger malt character, almost sour, but not quite. Still, a very passable and pleasant ale, I just wished I could get it on tap. (Bottle Pour 4/2/2007) M0RHI (1067), Luxembourg, Luxembourg

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 8, 2006 Nice deep-orange copper pour. Bubbly head with good lace. Wonderful complexity going on here. Notes of wood, spice, butter and Goldings to the nose...maybe some dark fruit. This complexity transfers directly into the flavor. Crisp, hoppy fruit over sublime caramel. Decent bitter finish that feels both satiating and crisp. The strength of the brew is woven nicely. Nice job! kreepindeth (405), Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 4, 2006 On tap at Tank’s Tap Room. Great beer, tastes like a very well-balanced pale ale with a very noticeable hop bite. Nice floral hopiness with minimal bitterness. You can tell this has been dry-hopped. eaglefan538 (2404), Wilmington, Delaware, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 3, 2006 Just better than average across the board. Poured an amber to light brown color with a nice head. The best part of the appearance was the long lasting trail of lace on the glass. The aroma was malty and somewhat buttery. The flavor was balanced between malts and hops, but I couldn’t get past the butter that was just underneath the toffee, caramel malt base. Very light touch of fruits was noticeable, perhaps from the hops.
