3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: APR 26, 2009 Rerate at Blue Palms. General impressions were the same, but I liked it a bit less (3.1). Averaged the two, so I dropped it to 3.2
On tap at the brewpub. Color was dirty gold with an off white head. Aroma of earth, Coronado yeast, bread and a hint of fruit. Flavor was bread with earthy bitter finish. A bit watery, but ok. Good for style.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft at Hamiltons. Cloudy orange with thick shaving cream head. Subtle aroma of grains with a hint of floral hops and light esters. Flavor is light cereal grains, grassy hop flavor with moderate hop bitterness, finishes dry with some pepper spice. Amazingly smooth texture, a top notch bitter that embodies the drinkability of the style.

Draft at the brewery. Medium golden pour with a 2 finger white head the left a bit of lacing on the glass. Nice nose of cereal grain and light bitterness. Nice bitter finish.
