| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 29, 2008 This ale poured a dark orange colour with a quickly dissipating, off white head. To the nose there are scents of citrus, malt sugar, caramel and yeast. First taste was very smooth with flavours of caramel and malt. Finish is slightly hoppy and smooth. Palate is malty and very good. holdenn (1454), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 29, 2008 12 oz bottle pours an orange amber with a beige head. Malty nose with a touch of herbal spice. The toffee and toasted malts are balanced well with a herbal spice that is bitterand tasty. Really drinkable and tasty, especially for an amber. dmac (1510), Toms River, New Jersey, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 27, 2008 12 oz bottle from tytoanderso, Thanks Tyler. Pours a rather hazy orange amber with a huge frothy off white head that left tons and tons of lace on my Duvel tulip. Aroma was very malty with slight caramel/toffee sweetness and lots of dry grain and cereal. Flavor was similar with some sweet toffee, dry toast and even a hint of tea. Not the most interesting or challenging beer but highly drinkable. Probably one of the best amber ales I have tried and this would be a great beer to give to someone to get them interested in craft beer as it has enough flavor/aroma without it being too much for a beginner. imadeadguy (378), back in NJ!, New Jersey, USA
