2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 Dickinsonbeer (5075) - Hoboken, New Jersey, USA - FEB 3, 2009
Bomber shared by EDA a couple weeks ago at a tasting. Poured a bit hazy off copper and a thinning head. Aroma reminds me again of an ok homebrew that is a bit muddled with phenolics and slightly stale hops- soomewhat sweet crystal malt. Flavor is a bit sweet, some earthy muddy herbal hints, floral hops and a medium to light bitterness in the end. Not that great overall./
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Soonah (1120) - Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA - JAN 21, 2009
On tap at McNellie’s. The pour was an every so slightly cloudy copper color with a decent white to off-white head that produced good lacing. The aroma was light floral hops over sugary and nutty malts. The flavor was well balanced between the floral hops and the malt. The mouthfeel was average but it went down nicely with the fish and chips.

Bottle shared by Eyedrinkale: Pours a murky deep orange/bronze with a wispy tan head. Aroma is really off- with lots of estery sweetness and grassy stale hops. When it warms there is a touch of biscuit. Light body. Fairly sweet, and it seems like there’s residual priming sugar left over. A bit attenuated with light grainy notes and nutty hint of British malt. Not much bitterness. Too much off character.

Bottle. As bad a looking beer in the glass as you can almost have. Murky orange with a small head. Every other taste is different than the previous. Bad, ok, horrible, drinkable.

Bottle shared by EDA. They wax sealed this, for some reason. Kind of peanuty in the aroma, cabbage, yuck. Pour is nice though, completely unfiltered, light foam cap. Very soggy. Flavor is mushy, nasty corn, a bit of diacetyl, very dry, nasty.
