DocLock (3939), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA Mar 10, 2008 Pours hazy orange with off-white head. Nose is orange marmalade, hopcitrus, spicy tropical fruit, malt, and some mild vegetals. Tastes malty, with hopcitrus, orange zest, honey, and hops. None of the off aromas were present in the flavor, but I still found this one to be around average at best. AmEricanbrew (721), Greenwood, Louisiana, USA Feb 13, 2008 Nice copper color with a huge off white head. Mild sweet caramel malty smell. Light/med body and smooth. Mild flavor of sweet caramel and spices. decent enough. 112106 guzzler67 (1093), Hanover, Maryland, USA Feb 2, 2008 Pale amber appearance with an average size white head and modest lacing. Toasted malt aroma with a slight vegetal edge. Grainy, sweet, caramel malt taste, well carbonated, but palate was a bit thin. badnewsbeers (915), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA Jan 19, 2008 pours light amber, almost yellow with small white head..aroma light in malt and grassy hops...hints of subtle sweetness..flavor is sugary malt and earthy, bitter hops...not too good Ibrew2or3 (1463), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA Jan 12, 2008 Pours clear gold with thin white head. The aroma is sweet sugary malts, some biscuit, a little corn and mild floral hops. The taste is a cut of floral and spice hop bitterness accentuated by the initial burst of carbonation. Then the sweet and grainy malts enter in an attempt to reign in the hops. The hop bitterness control the flavor and take it to the finish and beyond with hints of sweetness. A bit on the hoppy side for the style.
