3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 McGarnigle (493) - Rochester, New York, USA - APR 27, 2013
Flip top bottle. The oranger shade of amber. Poor leaves a great head but it doesn’t last. Kind of a sweet beer (caramel from the stones, although I don’t know if they really use stones). Bready malts and some fruit flavors which likely come from the yeast. Light on the hops, but the overall effect isn’t too rich.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Shaney (1735) - Köln / Cologne, GERMANY - APR 24, 2013
Trübes Bernstein mit viel Schaum. Hefeteigaroma mit rosinenähnlicher Süßlichkeit. Satter Antrunk. Neben der malzig-getreidigen Süße ist da eine gewisse Würze, die dem Steinbier die Süffigkeit verleiht. Klingt harzig herb aus. Harmonisches Bier.

Fairly strong toffee and kibble nose. Clear amber, medium head. Tastes as it smells, with more of an emphasis on the kibble. Little hope presence, grass if even that. Thin to medium body, alcohol not evident.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 ccex (799) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - APR 5, 2013
Swingtop half liter bottle pours a cloudy brownish orange with lots of bubbles quickly rising to a small off-white head. Aroma is full of grains, earthiness, some caramel malts, and perhaps a touch of honey. Taste is Mildly sweet with a slightly bitter dry finish. Body is medium without as much carbonation as I expected after watching all those rising bubbles. A very solid, refreshing and pleasant traditional ale.

500 ml bottle. C. BB 10/10/13. From mein-biershop.de.
Hazy orangey brown colour with a big foamy off-white head.
Malt, mild sourness, salt, earth and caramel in the aroma.
The flavour is... delicious. Deep malty flavour with salt, earth, mild hops, lots of grainy notes and more maltiness.
I like this a lot. This isn’t that special but still hits the spot. Mild bitterness in the aftertaste. Balanced. Zu genießen.

3.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 bhensonb (9004) - Woodland, California, USA - JAN 6, 2013
Swingtop from Ledgers. Pours hazy copper with a creamy beige head. Caramel aroma. Starts with a nutty suggestion, goes a bit bready, and develops some bitterness. It’s not dry, finishing malty, but it has enough bitter to pretty much balance.
