Rustyham (1303) - Nashville, Tennessee, USA - MAR 1, 2010
This was one of the worst beers I have ever had. Tastes like sweat and old bar nuts. Like flat stale cola and rotting rye bread. Slight decaying fruit. Could not finish. Bottle from ABC Liquors, Miami.

Aquilo (458) - Berkeley, California, USA - JAN 28, 2010
Golden brown color with a thin head. Aroma is biscuity malt, a little spice, and honey. This beer is admittedly sweet, and if there’s one thing RateBeerians hate it’s sweet beer. I however, don’t mind it one bit, thus my rating is much higher than everyone else’s. This is a very drinkable and refreshing beer.

FatPhil (5973) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - JAN 17, 2010
355ml bottle (Rake, London) - shared by MagicDave - chinchin!
Very sweet malty aroma, toffee, oh so american. Taste similarly massively sewet and grainy. Very dull american sweet malts, too sweet if anything. A touch biscuity too, and some gingeriness which saves it.

Reid (1385) - Salem,Oregon, Oregon, USA - JAN 15, 2010
12oz single. Amber coloured ale with a small off white creamy looking head. Aroma is subdued but mostly biscuity/bready malts. taste smooth bready,sweet with minimal hops in the end I liked it Mouthfeel is pretty nice and silky. Overall a simple beer but enjoyable. hard to believe this is 6% alc..tastes like a English style ordinary bitter.

chickenflea (227) - Oviedo, Florida, USA - JAN 9, 2010
12-oz bottle. Biscuity notes in the aroma. Also a little floral. Appearance is normal for the style: a medium amber. A small head with plenty of lacing. The first taste is a sharp, lightly sweet citrus taste collapsing into an unripe apricot. Bitter and clean on the aftertaste, medium hoppiness. Sharp on the palate with some immediate effervescence. Finish disappears quickly. Just a hint of tinniness. Overall a average brew for the style. Solid but not exceptional.
