Oakes (6793), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Sep 2, 2001 Rich golden colour; hugely malty, toasty, caramel nose & palate; very big & chewy for the style.

(12oz bottle, 1/24/05) Clear amber body with white head. Aroma is moderately sweet, bread, caramel, apple. Taste is moderately sweet, bread, some apple, light bitterness (grassy/earthy). Light-medium body, some crispness. I was not sure how to rate this -- it seems to have all the characteristics of a very good brew, but for some reason it did not much appeal to me. (6/3/6/3/12) fiulijn (5695), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy Nov 27, 2007 Draught at Hop Leaf, Chicago Golden color; creamy head. Simple aroma, quite malty flavor, a bit crispy. Rastacouere (5202), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Jan 18, 2004 Appearance is a shining clear yellow with a small white head that turns into a film and medium carbonation. Aroma is herbal, like I imagine is a typical Maine hay field by the end of the spring when it's still humid enough and not completely burnt by the summer sun. Restrained mild german hops in the aroma. Taste is all made of subtlety, never too sweet nor too bitter, perfect balance in that sense. I don't find much to be said really, excellent balance, medium body shows a perfect carbonation to my liking, quite creamy lager, pretty crisp dry herbal hops finish. Cheers Ciderguy!
