3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Sample at the Gaylord location: This brew is a reddish-amber color with a thin off-white head that dissipates quickly. Spotty lacing. Toasted malt aroma. Medium body with a pretty standard malt flavor and not much else. The finish is soft and malty, with a lingering bitterness afterward. So-so.

2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
5 oz draught sample at the Gaylord, MI location, July 2006. Dark amber with a touch of retained head and a bit of lacing....toasty malty-sweet nose offers a bit of baked apple as it warms....dry and rather dull body, a bit of cidery sweet-tartness as you go through it but really very little to glom onto. Words fail me as the beer did....

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Growler. Brough back from the Gaylord location by my grandparents and consumed Thanksgiving day. Translucent copper body with a small tan head. Nose is malted, lightly smoked, and light caramel. Some oddness to the aroma. Perhaps it is starting to oxidize? Taste is lightly hopped and fruity. There’s some sweet malt notesand light caramel. Body is meidum with slight oily notes and light bitterness. Finishes bitter with light roasted notes, caramel and fruit. Not too bad at all!
4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Reasonable head and a little lacing. A nice coppery color. My brother-in-law came up with a growler of this for me at a recent bamily gathering. Excellent. Very smooth flavor without any heavy aftertastes. I liked it so much I buy it by the growler now!
