3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 cranked (8) - Kentucky, USA - FEB 5, 2012 does not count
Poured copper with off white head into an english pint glass and left visible lacing. Smells slightly floral with an almost doughy toffee-like flavor finishing crisp with slight bitterness from the noble hops. Decent, not really anything to write home about.

M: Crisp medium bodied pale ale with a healthy amount of carbonation
O: Smooth enough to consume a few before calling it quits

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 rodenbach99 (1750) - Longueuil, Quebec, CANADA - JAN 3, 2012
Une canette de 440ml achetée en Ontario. Classique anglais cuivrée avec une mousse blanche-beige et bien durable. Le nez est de caramel, de malt biscuit, il y a un léger grillé fort agréable. La canette apporte un coté métallique qui peut déplaire. La bouche est classique, ronde, crémeuse avec des saveurs de malt et de houblons bien intégrées. Rien à dire contre ce classique. 7/10
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 SlovakSniper (1154) - Candiac, Quebec, CANADA - JAN 2, 2012
(Une dégustation offerte par rodenbach99) Une mousse blanche qui se retire et qui laisse quelques traces. Une robe cuivrée bien claire. Des parfums et des flaveurs biscuités avec les caractères reconnaissables des houblons Fuggles et Goldings. Un corps timidement crémeux avec une effervescence appropriée. Une finale qui laisse une fine trace de notes amères.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20 kuphish (351) - Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA - NOV 8, 2011
Bottle at Big Bamboo in Shanghai. Pours a small, white, frothy head. Good lacing. Leaves a tight ring. Hazy, copper body. Aroma of light raisin with a touch of biscuit. Bready flavor with more raisin/pitted fruit. A little woodsy must. Touch of grape and brown sugar. Medium body is sweet up front with deceptive bitterness. Relatively sweet finish with lingering earthy hops. Light carb enhances the body. Overall enjoyable and sessionable. A nice find in Shanghai - good that Sam Adams was ’mayo’!
