| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 3, 2009 Bottle, picked up at John’s Grocery in Iowa City, IA. Opened with Tom at the "What this town needs is an IHOP" tasting. Glowing orange, small off-white layer of head. Fresh lager malt nose, touch of noble hops, a little puffed wheat. Very light and rather dry flavor, just a touch of grassy hops. Short finish with just a little lingering mint. A solid beer, but a bit less substance than I’d like. jujubeast6000 (802), Houston, Texas, USA

Pours a slightly burnt orange colored body, with a foamy, rocky white head, somewhat lasting. Weakish fruity malty aroma. Some dark grape smell. Watery palate. Nutty malty, oktoberfest taste. Some bitterness on the back end, but balanced pretty well. Easy to drink. dwaggs2 (568), Lee’s Summit, Missouri, USA

| 1.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Feb 4, 2009 Quite bitter and reflective of the microbrew style. Has a metallic aftertaste. Did not enjoy. thefederalist (227), Jonesboro, Arkansas, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 1, 2009 Bottle. Pours a clear copper with a miserly head. Aroma is of bready yeast and sweet malt. The flavor is actually quite dry for this type of beer. The malt profile is rich and satisfying and there is a tangy sourness. Lemon in the finish. I could use more carbonation. But it’s a really nice beer all the same. MaltOMeal (668), Land of Sugar, Texas, USA

Nose is of pumpkin spice and caramel malt. Taste is same as nose with pumpkin & nutmeg spice with caramel malt. Some biscuit. Mouthfeel is medium-thin.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 16, 2009 Poured a dark amber with a tan head. Smelled kind of grainy with some-other caramel like scents. Pretty bitter finish, but it was very solid. I will definitely be picking some of this up next fall.
