| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Apr 4, 2007 Had this @ The Old Bag of Nails pub while watching the Bucks dismantle Georgetown on their way to the NCAA men’s basketball finals. Nose of mostly cereal, with a light hops spice. Pours a hazy golden. The tall frothy off-white head is mostly lasting, and leaves no lace. The toasty flavor is kinda sweet and toasty. Well balanced with a moderate floral finish. Non offensive but loose. The body is light, dry and soft. The finish feels crisp. sheatripper (863), Brooklyn, New York, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Sep 2, 2007 Bottles from a seemingly dusty six pack from Shoreline Beverage (Huntington, NY). I’m comparing two different bottles here. Both poured a clear amber color with a frothy off-white head. However, the first bottle had a lot of big clumsy bubbles, while the second had basically no bubbles and a lot of particles/floaties. Aroma for both was mostly toffee malts, with some fruity, almost sweet plummy esters. Flavor very malty with some earthiness in the back, but with minimal hops ("Blech" for me, personally). For further disparity, the makeup of the first bottle was overly fizzy (like cream soda) while the second bottle was flat and watery. Whatever the bottle, neither could sustain an otherwise not-all-that-terrible malt/ester flavor profile, even with the absense of my much craved hops. Overall, not such a good blind choice for me.
