3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cloudy brown color. Caramel malt aroma. Flavor up front is candy sugar sweet. Mid palate is big malt and the finish has a tinge of hop bitterness. Light bodied and pretty quick on the finish. Good balance with some nutty characteristics in the flavor.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Mild malty aroma. Orange amber body, average sized off-white head. Rather undistinguished flavor. Somewhat sweet and malty. But very mild.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Nice copper body with a thick tan head that leaves decent lacing. The light aroma is mostly sweet with caramel and vanilla notes present. The mouthfeel is full and smooth. The taste is not nearly as sweet but more bitter than the aroma would lead you to believe. The malty sweetness is right up front but quickly gives way to grassy hop bitterness. Not a bad beer.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle aquired in trade from St. Fun. Poured a copper color with miminal head. More bitter than many amber Ive had. Carmel was the most dominant flavor. All in all a solid beer.
3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
UPDATED: MAR 9, 2009 Reddish amber, clear with sediment suspended at almost neutral buoyancy. Faint aroma, slightly malty. Malts are lightly sweet up front, turning nutty and tea-like. Hops character beneath the malts is floral to grassy. Medium body, prickly carbonation and hops.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a hazy copper/light amber with a good head the fades quickly. Looks actually more like a hefeweisen dunkel. Very little lacing. Aroma is of slight grass, caramel malts, straw, vanilla extract. Creamy almost buttery taste with good balancing hops. Taste is fairly light but with a solid malt backbone with lots of caramel. A solid amber.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Hazy amber pour. Sticky head. Lots of suspended particles. Nice warm scent of hops flowers and coreander. Watery start but a nice rising warmth. Caramel malts in the thick finish. Slightly bitter aftertaste. I’m impressed. For something I picked up a 6 of at Liquor Fiesta in KY, this is damn good.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: DEC 13, 2011 Pours perfect amber with a 2 finger off white head, poor retention but small chunks of lacing along the way. Aroma has plenty of grainy malt,, caramel, maybe a little vanilla, a touch of toffee, tree fruit and some mild citrus hops. Flavor has a more grainy malt, and planty hops, light toffee, mineral notes and a touch of earthy leaves. Finish is bitter and planty hops with some lingering grainy malts. Medium bodied with a slightly sticky feel and medium, but sharp carbonation. All around decent, but boring. Re-rated 12.13.2011, original 11.27.2008.
