2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
12oz bottle from BevMo. Just like the Amber, this one was like a watery version of Sierra Nevada. A lightly hopped nose with a watery/ slightly bitter finish.
2.1 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Sample at Bev & More: Murky tawny color foreshadows murky nothing beer with caramel diacetyl aroma. Medium-lean body and moderate carbonation, with slight crystal malt flavor note blanketed by diacetyl. There’s a hop bluntness that is not flavor or bitter. Blah

12oz bottle -
A bit better than their IPA, but still not saying much. Light citrus in the aroma, like hops are an afterthouht. Caramel malts seem a bit heavy and shadow the hops. Flavor has a decent malt/hop ratio with the bitterness being a light-touch. Overall, it was a decent quaffer and easy to knock back 2-3 of these. Not bad and preferable to their IPA.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Slightly hazy yellow orange with a small head and not much lacing. Moderate grassy hops aroma and a touch of caramel. Flavors were similar and also uninspiring. Light to medium body and carbonation, and a dry finish. Average all the way.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Poured golden yellow, thin, little caramel, little bready, slight citrus hops, crisp finish.

Pours a medium pale yellow, nose is grainy, tastes very bland, ho hop bite, just grainy water.

natural aroma’s well balance hop finish’s back of tongue, with a medium mouth. Clear with samllo even trails of carb bubbles producing a creamy head that has holding power.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
From the Bottle at the GABF Colorado Convention Center, Denver 10/10/2008
Very fruity aroma. Clear golden coloured hoppy and fruity pineapple flavour. A little dryness in a crisp and bitter lasting finish.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Mediocre microbrew, not the worst I’ve tasted but with so much good stuff out there this one comes up short! This might do well in a beer challenged regional area.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Whoa - the cap blew off when I popped it. Just missed my head. This beer is amber with a huge off-white head. It looks good, but tastes sort of skunky. There is a fairly heavy malt base with some bitterness at the finish.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
12 oz bottle from BevMo (house beer?). Slightly hazy amber color with a flat white head. Floral or citrus hop (light) with some malt background. Near medium body with carbonation that prickles. Seems slightly gummy. It’s a bit short on ingredients, but finishes ok (bitter). Might be a bit overpriced for the flavor level, but it’s not a bad thing.
