3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
An aroma of fruit with a soupçon of yeast. Nice apricot amber color with an enthusiastic white head. Sort of hits with hops and malt all at once. Good mouthfeel. The finish is significant, though not harsh, hoppy bitterness. There’s a bit of lacing on the glass.

Has an ligth amber colour. Nice head. Aroma on this sample was a lillte yeasty. Had a good malty flavour, but wasn’t as complex as i’ve hoped. Nice beer.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Sparkling clear amber ale with a nice, beige head and good lacing.
Good and malty. Well-hopped. Good balance. Medium-bodied with a watery mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Short, bitter, crisp finish. The prototype for a lot of great, hoppy, left coast beers. For that, I thank Anchor. Otherwise, it's a fairly boring beer.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle Conditioned, aged 3 years. Amber brown with light head. Deliberately aged which has given it a sweetish sherry like background and a nicely rounded taste. The hoppiness has gone, replaced by toffee notes. Flavour still isn’t full, with a watery finish. Interesting experiment, this was a 4.8% beer initially.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
(35.5cl bottle) Hazy, copper colour with a mid-sized off-white foamy head. Light-sweet aroma with an aromatic toasty malt-character with caramel and woody hops. Initially slightly sweet and toasty taste, drying out towards the end; light to medium bodied; bitter and well-hopped finish with a fruity tinge (apricot) and a lasting aftertaste.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
red-amber colour, head quickly disappears, slightly fruity, full-bodied with some bitterness in the finish, lack of character - nothing special
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Pour a dark reddish color with medium head. Aroma has malt and sweet tone. Flavor is much the same with medium sweet and hop finish.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle: Light amber coloured and a bit hazy, small off-white layer; moderate caramelly-bready nose with a slight hoppy and fruity background; moderate sweet-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied; more bitterness in the malty-fruity finish, followed by a hoppy "tail". Pleasant, indeed....

UPDATED: OCT 21, 2005 A Mes rate:
Aroma is hoppy, citric and nothing more than reasonable. Cant really pick anything out. Appearance is well worth the 4 and if I took a picture of this right now none of you would argue. Wonderful resin/amber body with a rocky head that lasts well. The way the bubbles settle flowing up into the head after the initial pour was an absolute joy to behold. It is hoppy and nutty and has a most unusual effervesence(sp?) to it. Something that reminds me of alka-seltzer. Also has a very delicate hint of that minty flavour I tasted in the Liberty Ale. Bitter finish. Downable. So so.
