| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 30, 2010 Bottle. Pours haze golden yellow with a thin off-white head. Aroma is primarily of citrusy hops. More of that in the flavor, plus some bisquity malt. Piney hops come out in the finish. The beer is somewhat creamy, almost buttery on the tongue. A very tasty, nicely balanced beer. MaltDawg (982), Richmond, Virginia, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 15, 2010 (Sample Date: 9/19/2009 Source:Other) Pint at Caliente. Light grassy earthy hops in aroma. Clear orange amber with small white head. Citrusy grassy hop flavor over moderate caramel maltiness. Medium finish with moderate bitterness. Slipstream (827), USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 3, 2010 All right! Here is a cause for celebration - a beer from one of my fave brewers that I have not seen before. Very fine aroma - rich and sweet with hop scents. Nice label, sheet lace on the glass. The flavor is unusually and enjoyably sweet for a bitter, but the herby, clean hops still have their say. Another high ranking release from Avery. ljay6880 (184), , Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 23, 2009 12 oz bottle served in a tulip. Pour is a hazy amber with a half inch of white head. Nose is malts, trisquits, caramel, and hard water. Taste is the same, but there is an odd symbiotic relationship between the caramel smoothness and hard water bitter. I would not have guessed this to be enjoyable, but it is not too bad. It is also quite sessionable! topherh (993), Kearney, Missouri, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Dec 8, 2009 Pours a lightly hazy orange with a white head. Aroma is earthy malt and floral hops. Flavor is light malt and a good bit of hop. Easy to drink. tgncc (902), Bellmore, New York, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Dec 3, 2009 Earthy, biscuity aroma. Some butter in there too. The appearance is an amber color, white head, true to the style. The flavor follows the aroma, malty, earthy, biscuit, and piney hops. The finish is dominated by the piney hops, and the medium, smooth, light carbonation. Decent overall. I think the biscuit and butter thing in this beer might be inadvertant, but it works. smcolw (408), Wayland, Massachusetts, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Nov 25, 2009 Orange amber color and quite cloudy. Nice rocky head; leaves ample lace.
Strong earthy and malty smells; Biscuity with crystal malt presence.
Very British in flavor. Far more hop in the swallow and aftertaste than the smell would indicate. Dry. Weak body with a higher than average carbonation level. In some ways, this is spot on in recreating the style.
