| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Oct 14, 2009 From dmac via trade. The pour was amber and clear with a white head and plenty of carbonation. The aroma was malty and and was lightly spicy. The flavor had some sweet caramel to go along with the rich malts and a weird but distinct strawberry flavor. Unfortunate metallic taste crept in. The mouthfeel was thin and the carbonation was a bit much. doubleo (1104), San Diego, California, USA

Smells nutty and slightly sweet. Tastes about the same. Sweet and nutty. Thin body, good carbonation. KyotoLefty (1392), Kyoto, Japan

Nice amber color. Un-hopped caramel aroma with tobacco. Malty, caramel flavor, rather sweet, with low hopping. A bit of a dud-not enough hops. Disappointing from them.

| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Sep 29, 2009 Bottle at Flying Saucer. Pours a boring amber with little head. Aroma is malty melon, leaf, and a slight pumpkin. Flavor is bitter malted leaf and autumn wet grass. Watery mouthfeel. Boring, lifeless, and forgettable. Hopefully this team was eliminated in the first round. rds (226), USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 28, 2009 Clear amber ale with compact white head, nicely balanced brew with a crisp finish. Very nice malt notes mixed with some fine dry notes. pineypower (1090), Pine Barrens, New Jersey, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 27, 2009 Bottle thanks to Dmac Pennant ’55 label on it. Pours out a clear amber color with a medium sized white head. Aroma is sweet malts, and caramel, slight bitterness. Taste is smooth and very drinkable, notes of caramel, some grains and other sweet malt notes going on also, light grassy hop bitterness. Solid, but nothing to knock your socks off.

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Sep 23, 2009 Smells stale. Checked the bottle, said it was good for another few months. Tastes of stale fruit and hops. Aftertaste is dry. dmac (1442), Toms River, New Jersey, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Sep 20, 2009 12 oz bottle from Jonthan Ron. Pours an impressive looking clear orangeish/amber with a large fluffy light beige head that leaves a nice slick on top of my beer for the duration. Aroma was malt dominant with amber malts, honey on brown toast and some grassy hops. Palate is medium bodied with average carbonation and just a touch of bitterness on the end. Flavor isn’t quite as pronounced as the aroma but was basically some cereal grains, toast, caramel and a slight touch of sourness. Very sessionable.
