| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 29, 2008 22 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquors - Pours a fairly clear deep amber color with a 3/4 finger thick off white head. Light lacing. Aroma is a nutty, toasted caramel malt. Flavor is much of the same. No lingering aftertaste. Medium body. One of the better Amber ales I’ve had. truegen (164), Puyallup, Washington, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 28, 2008 22oz. bomber. Reddish-brown color with just a bit of fog in it. Great tight-foam head leaves lace all the way down. Nose is loaded with grass and tea scent, and a faint cola tinge rides along. Flavor is bright and clean, with more grass, citrus and pine nuts. Not as sweet as most ambers, which is a plus in my book. Easily drinkable and sessionable. thooper41 (384), Oregon, USA
