| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 4, 2009 Sampled at the Virginia Beer Festival. I appreciated the blatant pandering to the VA Tech crowd with the name. Medium brown. Lightly nutty and citric hop aroma. Not much flavor, just sort of vaguely nutty malts, not hoppy like I had anticipated from the aroma. OK though. As a side note, this ended up being my 2100th rating! obguthr (1021), Poquoson, Virginia, USA

Grapefruit and piney flavors with more of the latter at midpalate. Subdued caramel on the palate. A healthy amount of hops in a brown ale. dkachur (2361), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 14, 2009 Pours deep amber into the glass, with a wispy head that leaves trace soapy lace. Aroma of copper and malts. Interesting flavor combo of caramel malt, metallic notes, slight citrus and earthen bitters (the latter 2 close the finish).... just out of whack in the integration dept. Round mouthfeel that is somehow thin on the palate. Just needs tighter integration, but not bad overall. Feels like a young recipe, but shows promise. SynergyXJ (506), Blacksburg, Virginia, USA
