2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours a nice light amber color. Taste is pretty smooth with a good hoppy finish. Nice head, but dissipates quickly. Overall pretty good.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
12oz bottle pours amber witha creamy white head that stays well at about 1/2 inch and laces very well. Aroma is nice floral hops over caramel malts. Flavor is quite malty. Caramel, brown sugar, a nice hop finish. Palate this is light bodied and airy.. Highly carbonated. Feels good in the mouth. Very drinkable but nothing great about this at all. Average.
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Mild aroma. I didn’t notice the sour apple scent at first, but now that I saw others did, I think that might have been the aroma. Initially, I thought it was a yeasty smell. Mild tan head. Hazy copper color. Smooth with a little bitter-sweet aftertaste.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Draught. Metallic, grassy hop aroma (similar to Grolsch and Heineken) with caramel undertones (similar to Bass). Metallic hop and flat caramel come out in the flavor with a bit of brown sugar in the backgound.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Aroma of sour apples, yeast and malts. Soapy white head that lingers. Cloudy amber color. Malty slighty bitter, but smooth taste. Too bad this one has been retired.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
From the bottle.
Pours amber with a modest head. The aroma is metallic hops; the flavor is whole-grain bread, malt and sour hops meeting in the middle, with a soft and short finish and a thin but highly-carbonated palate.
Reasonable enough to drink, and a pleasant reminder of the some of the session ales I’d drink in Scotland, though nothing exceptional.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Has a strange, almost yeasty aroma. Amber color, slightly cloudy. Sweet bread flavor. Finishes quickly. Easy to drink, even if it’s not very exciting.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: APR 10, 2006 Bottle: I saw this was retired so dispite the many beers I hadn’t tried I felt the need to try this before it was gone. It was obviously an amber color and it had a decent offwhite head. I can definitly agree with the sour apples aroma and the malty/cookie/cracker taste this beer has going. It is quite good.
