| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Mar 21, 2009 Poured a hazy golden amber with a thin off-white head but also some legs. Sweet caramel/toffee aroma with earthy and minty hop notes. Malty and earthy flavor. Mildly bitter finish. Medium bodied. JoeMcPhee (5000), Jackson Heights, New York, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Mar 21, 2009 Deep amber beer with a thin head. Aroma is a little bit malty with a kiss of caramel. It doesn’t really smell like much... just a sort of crystally sweet with a lingering herbal bitterness. Meh, nothing to write home about. Bockyhorsey (2513), Mesa, Arizona, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jan 24, 2009 Bottle. Stale aluminum aroma rather bland. Deep amber body when held to light with tan head. Flavor was uneventfull till finish of 22oz bottle where some sweet malt spice appeared. Some malt spice on palate, odd. alexanderj (2244), Chino Hills, California, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 9, 2009 Poured an orange amber color with an off white head. Aroma of amber malt, bread, caramel, and earth. Flavor of caramel, bread, fruit, toffee and grain. Not a very good after taste, but overall it was nice for the style nbutler11 (741), Phoenix, Arizona, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 9, 2009 Pours a dark amber color from the bomber with an off-white head. Wish I would have found this on tap like ajm, because the bottled version is strikingly similar to Amber Bock. The aroma has more caramel and the finish features green grapes, but the heart of this one is sadly macro. ajm (922), Los Angeles, California, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Dec 9, 2008 Tap at Pap. I found this impressive. A nice IPA color but with a striking tint of purple added, and for good reason. The flavors take you through a deep hoppiness like SN Celebration, but with added notes of black licorice, malt, chocolate brownie and molasses. These are slight, but darken the effect seriously. Again, impressive. Ty5592 (1015), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 19, 2007 Hazy orange/amber color. Sweet alty aroma. This beer had a good mix of light malty sweetness and good hop bitterness. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA
