Bottle (12oz) shared with HogTownHarry & garthicus -- courtesy of HogTownHarry. Pours a clear amber-orange with a small diminishing off-white head, Sweet and grainy aroma along with caramel malt and some diacetyl. Flavour, also sweet, of caramel malt, grain, toffee and a light bitter finish. Average bodied. Mediocre, just passable. Hopefully this is better on tap.

2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle (12oz). Shared with blankboy and garthicus. Clear gold, tinged with amber, smallish diminishing white head. Hint of diacetyl, sharp floral bitterness; a little sweet. Tastes sugary, butterscotch, slightly metallic floral bitterness - mmmm, not too good. Slick, somewhat still mouthfeel, it tries to be hoppy, but the bitterness devolves to harshness, diacetyl aftertaste.

2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Nothing to write home about here. The aroma comes through as corn malts and syrupy malt. The appearance is a reddish clear color, with a very thin, fleeting head. Flavor is malty, but I get corn malts, nothing speciala here. It becomes a bit of a chore by the end of it. Eh!

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Best by: 06/15/09 (I think). Pours a clear, deep copper with a nice khaki head that leaves rings of lace. Sweet, malty aroma that features plenty of caramel and toffee. Some corn, butter, and hints of hops in there too. Medium-bodied. No surprises taste-wise. Starts sweetly with caramel and toffee. Some corn in the transition. Ends fairly sour with a drying lemony iced tea taste. Nothing to see here.
