| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Nov 1, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours clear copper with soapy beige head. The aroma is noticeable corn and metal, with a decent amount of straightforward Cascade hops and iced tea. Flavor is grapefruit hops and a sort of stale iced tea flavor. There’s a sort of grainy bitterness to the finish. Kind of bland and unimpressive, but considering who’s making it, it’s a step in the right direction. bruno1378 (120), Epping, New Hampshire, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Nov 1, 2008 Pours a pinkish amber color, with a nice head that lasts. Aroma...hmm this smells like real beer...should I forget this is ’budweiser’ for a minute? Tastes a bit watered down, but does have a hoppy finish. TChrome (1299), Bedford, Texas, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 1, 2008 Beer pours an attractive amber color with a minimally retained off white colored head. Aroma is mostly sweet, notes of caramel and honey. Flavor is pretty much straight caramel sweetness. Could definetly use more hopping to balance things out. highibus (427), Mill Creek, Washington, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 31, 2008 pours a decent amber but not much aroma. Decent flavor bit nothing to write home about GeneralGao (3051), Iowa City, Iowa, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Oct 31, 2008 12oz bottle from Mark. Thanks. Poured a clear amber color. The head was two fingers high and off white with decent retention. Surprisingly attractive aroma of citrusy hops, spices, and toffee. Light to medium bodied and delicately sweet. Tasted of toasted bread and cereal grains, but not much in the way of hops. Finished a bit flat. Smelled nice enough, but not all that tasty. You can smell the Cascades, but they don’t make any significant appearance in the flavor. SHANER4 (371), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA

| 1.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 4/20 | Oct 31, 2008 On tap at Hooters in MHC, NC. Fairly medium coppery color, little foamy head. Aroma of malts, tin, a bit of hops. Flavour of the same, huge metallic malt flavour, extremely pungent, very repulsive. Not real ale/beer. AB, give up.
