3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20 matta (1140) - Tampa, USA - AUG 10, 2005
Thanks to another forgotten rater for sending me this beer!
This beer has been sitting in the back of my frig for maybe 5mounths now! Something about the bland label kept me overlooking it for all that time.
Pours a hazy bronze body and a bountiful and long lasting khaki head. The aroma is bready and toasty, a bit nutty. Bringing a nice mention pine like woodsy hoppyness in the dry crusted bread like finish. Not a bad beer but not a good deal going on to hold a long-term interest…. The palate is rather nice though!
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 tmoreau (1347) - Lombard, Illinois, USA - MAY 9, 2012
On tap at the Argus in Madison, WI., and dispensed to a shaker showing a hazed, brownish amber, off white, creamy head foam, and a nicely clingy, sprayed appearance to the lacing. The aroma was mainly mid-fruit as apricot or peach, some light sweetness, and smooth malt. The flavor added medium, earthy, but not overbearing hop bitterness and a light wisp of soapiness. Decently carbonated and basically sessionable.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 Frank (2058) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - APR 18, 2012
This pours a mostly headless orange amber. It is a nice dry but still malty ale which is quite mild but w/o being entirely bland. It finishes w/ a woody bitterness. Maybe not a stand out but better than average.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 Scipio (185) - Vernon Hills, Illinois, USA - APR 16, 2012
Pours a clear, dark red with a short lasting white head. Aroma is bready and malty, but most apparent is a nutty scent. Taste is slightly hoppy. Nuts overpower other flavors, although bread, caramel, and malts are present. Buttery aftertaste. Altogether, the taste is somewhat weaker, as well as off. More of a watery palate.

Bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a foamy tan head. Aromas of floral hops and malt. Slightly sweet nutty malt flavor balanced well with hoppy bitterness. Medium bodied. Nothing too special; but alot better than some other ambers out there.

Amber beer out of the bottle with a small, short lived off white head. Light grainy and nutty nose. Very easy drinking beer with malty sweetness, some raw grain and toast notes and a grassy bitterness in the finish. I find this style dull, but this is a good enough example.
2.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 brian60625 (249) - Illinois, USA - SEP 27, 2011
Bottle poured into a pint glass. There’s a nutty sour taste that didn’t sit quite right with me. The buttery tone blurred out other aspects. It’s light and won’t make you cringe, but there weren’t many aspects that made me want to try it again.
