3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
From the Bottle at the GABF, Colorado Convention Center 25/09/2009
Floral aroma. Bronze coloured and a little rich on the palate with a little dryness in a crisp full malt finish.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from Malt & Vine. Pours copper with a foamy off-white head. Aroma is slightly spicey/hoppy. Medium body with foamy carbonation. Flavor starts with sweet caramel. There is some spice and/or hop, and it does tend to wash out the sugar. I’d drink it over most any macro product.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle… Clear, dark amber lager with a small, quickly dissipating, off-white head. Decent retention. Nutty, toasty aroma with caramel coming to the forefront. Medium-bodied with kicked-back carbonation. Malty, caramely flavor with mineral bitterness providing decent balance. Subtle, bittersweet finish.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours amber with a white head. Smells of sweet malt and earthy. Tastes of sweet apples and caramel. Messy.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle. Pours an amber body with 1/8" white head. Sweet malty aroma. Lager notes and lightly floral. Simple beer and lightly nutty.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle 355 ml,
Appearance: crystal , clear amber look with good mid, contrasting white top. 3+ Aroma: mild caramel aroma , amber malts , light hop hints. 5- Flavour/Palate: medium bodied , slight metallic front. Straight amber malts with slight bitter ending. Straightforward, not entirely into style.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Single bottle from the Binny’s in Plainfield, IL. Nice look, a bright orange body with a tall off-white head. Very little lace. The aroma is way sweet, toffee with a bit of caramel and nothing to cut it. Just a slight bit of earthiness to try to balance out the flavor. I’ll pass on this one in the future.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Amber to bronze colored liquid with a tall lasting manila folder colored head. Caramel and lightly toasted malt aromas. A hint of floral hops as well. Some pale malt flavors along with a kitchen bouquet caramel flavor. Little bit of dried flower bitterness in the middle. Fairly sweet and not very crisp in the finish and liner. Just another slightly stronger amber lager.
