2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle 39F Lager Glass. Aroma is of light malts, with some sweetness, and a bit of citrus. Nice amber clear color, with a white head that provides ok lacing and low head retention. Flavor is light and malty similar to very light caramel, perhaps a slight brittle taste. Finish is fairly dry very drinkable. I thought it was a decent brew.

Bottle. Hazy copper/amber color, tuns,and tuns of fluffy white head,too much. Aroma of faint hops and sour fruit.Flavor is slightly grassy with some fruit,maybe apple or tart cherries, a touch of sweeter malt. Crisp finish thin body,acceptable mouthfeel. Drinkable

UPDATED: JAN 7, 2007 Bottle - from sampler pack. Light amber, a bit cloudy. Not too good. A bit sour. Not much flavor. Very overcarbonated. Worst one in the sampler.

3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
I’m shocked how low the ratings are for this beer. To me its a great amber. Tasty carmel malt. Call me crazy, but I thought it was very, very tasty.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Nice roasty amber ale. Clear amber/brown color, very little head, and a moderately sweet aroma. Flavor has a sweet maltiness and a bit of a citrusy hint. Fairly well-balanced palate, but maybe a bit watery. Overall, pretty good.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
This rating is for Atwater Rost. I can’t get the Stoney creek website to come up, so I don’t know if this is the same beer as Stoney Creek Rost or what? 12 oz. bottle from Beer of the Month Club. Drank on 6/2/06. Very clear, really light amber / copper color. Decent 1+ cm. off-white creamy head. Drops slowly to a nice thick layer of foam. Eventually a ring, almost no lacing. Aroma is not strong. A little spicy, a little bready aroma. Really carmelly. Aroma gets stronger as it warms. Flavor - sharp and crisp. Not a ton of flavor, but pretty well balanced. Caramel and toffee flavors after the swallow. Maybe a tiny bit of noble hop spice and maybe a little spice from the yeast. Palate - nice and light. Highly carbed and dry and crisp. Overall - OK. Nothing special. Nothing bad, but pretty boring. Little too much caramel from me.
2.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pours translucent copper with off-white bubbly head. It has a pleasant harvest / oktoberfest like aroma with sour notes. The sour notes are in the flavor as well but not as enjoyable. However, sweetness intervenes in potent small doses. The plate is chalky and unpleasant.
