Wiseblood (658), Clarksville, Tennessee, USA Jan 11, 2006 Amber with a white head. Sweet aromas of biscuity malts and some fruitiness. Tastes pretty sweet, like a candy bar-vanilla, caramel and butterscotch. There is some hop flavor for balance, but the sweetness is what you remember. asheft (1374), Marburg, Germany Dec 11, 2005 [on tap in the Cincinnati airport]
Clear caramel with no lasting head. Strong caramel aroma with notes of candy apples and butterscotch. Pleasant caramel flavour but not as strong as aroma suggests. Citrusy hops, green apple, low bitterness, medium sweetness. Medium to full body, moderate carbonation, lasting caramel flavour. daalamar (403), bardstown, Kentucky, USA Nov 14, 2005 Orang color with a small but lasting head. soft aroma of caramel. Flavor is mild and mostly sweet although you can descern some hop at the very end. Nothing exception to brag about, but a decent beer and inexpensive. tronraner (1906), Maryville, Tennessee, USA Oct 15, 2005 (Knoxville Brewers’ Jam). Pours yellow-orange with a soapy head. The aroma is caramelized malts and a little bit of brown sugar. The flavor is burnt caramel and just a bit of grapefruit with some bland hops in the finish. brentfeesh (1030), Gadsden, Alabama, USA Oct 11, 2005 Bottle. Pours deep orange with a light haze and a very small head. The aroma is malty (light biscuit, and hay type grains). Smells like a lager. Malty flavor with undertones of citrus (but not in the most pleasant of ways). Very minimal hops noticed towards the end. Body is adequate/medium. Much more like a lager than an ale. dirtymike (2018), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA Aug 10, 2005 GABF ’04 Ggolden in color with a large white head. Aroma is malty/bready,sweet. Clean flavor with mild hops. TheBeerOrg (1563), Kentucky, USA Jul 21, 2005 Updated: Nov 27, 2006Pours a dark golden with a white, mostly diminishing head. Some strange protein globules floating around knocked a few points off appearance and could be due to the age of the beer. Sweet aroma of malt (bready, cookie) with some notes of floral hops and honey. More caramel malts and subdued fruitiness in the taste, with a hint of butterscotch. A tart, sweet finish. Like an English bitter without an overwhemling load of hops. Better than other ratings would suggest. heykevin (1269), Iowa City, Iowa, USA Jul 17, 2005 Medium golden. Staleish english hop aroma, bit of dust and perfume. Rather sweet, but not overly interesting malt. More staleish hops late. Thanks Eric!
