2.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Sweet, minimal hops, similar to most macro ales with less punch. Don’t know how this can be considered a craft beer. No bad traits, just too mild in every way. Too sweet also. Goes down easy.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours reddish brown with a decent off white head. Aroma is faint but of caramel malt. Taste is a little light but with some pale and crystal malt flavor. Not bad but not great for sure.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
12oz bottle: pours amber brown with decent white head, little aroma of malt and caramael, flavor very simple slight malt with hint of roasted malt in there. nothing special.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Poured a clear amber brown color with a moderate off-white head. Faint aroma of malt, caramel, and a tiny bit of hops. Flavor consists of light toasted caramel malt and a slight sourness. Faint hops on the finish. Pretty simple and plain. Not bad, but not something I will have again in the near future.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
This is tasty, enjoyable, and interesting but not particularly satisfying to me. It is dark brownish red with a big, dense light tan head that lasts a long time and leaves some good lacing. The aroma is caramel, toast, wine and hints of flowery, piney hops. The taste is cherries, wine, grain, with a light earthy toast quality, a light bitterness, but a predominantly sweeet-sour quality. It is a little bland and soft, especially after a while, but tasty and has an interesting complex of flavours.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Dark redish-brown with small off-white head. Slight hop smell, more malt. Sweetish malt dominates the taste with some spice, but kinda bland...a little hop bitterness on the finish. A little too watery for my taste.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
a dark amber, almost ruby color with less than a finger of off-white head. A sweet aroma with little bit of earthy hop smell. A malty, herb taste that is on the low side in regards to carbonation & alcohol content. alright.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Nice deep copper color. Poured a decent head that dissipated almost completely. Aroma is minimum. Malty. Taste is modest malt, sweetness, and a hint of balancing hops. Ok body. Finishes clean. A good session beer. A great ’stepping stone’ beer for noobies. It worked for me! Brings back good memories from the ’90s.
