Kinz (2694) - Glen Allen, Virginia, USA - APR 2, 2011
Got to sample this at a rather random and slightly unexpected stop in DC on the bus ride back from DFH. Medium amber. Aroma lightly of caramel and slight citric hops. Flavor matched. Unremarkable, but not bad at least.

porterhouse (1481) - Alna, Maine, USA - JAN 3, 2011
(Draft @ Phiilips in BWI Airport) Served in a shaker. Lightly hazy golden amber body with a smallish off-white head. Aroma features lots of hop florals and fruits with some vanilla-caramel underneath. Mouthfeel is fairly smooth but a little bit pebbly. Medium-bodied, slightly dry. Very nice well-retained rings of lacing. Flavor is fruity and lightly floral over a fairly low key caramel base. Lots of hoppy burps. Pleasant beer.

jkwood04 (1207) - Connecticut, USA - JUL 6, 2010
On draft in a pilsner glass. Pours clear, light amber with a thin head. Aroma of malt and a very faint hint of hops. Thin texture. Flavor of bread with a slight note of hops on the finish. A very standard, forgetable beer.

Leafs93 (868) - Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 1, 2010
On draft this poured amber with minimal white head that was gone in a second. Aroma was of malts and hops, taste was bittersweet. Nothing special but something that would be a good session beer. A very average brew.

potbeercollege (1322) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - DEC 17, 2009
Draughts at Philips in charlotte int airport, terminal c. No head to speak of, clear, golden look, faint caramel aroma. Decent amber ale, lots of toasty malt flavor, hinting at some bitter hops. Medium to light bodied. Poundable.

blipp (3600) - Newark, New Jersey, USA - OCT 25, 2009
Draft. Pours gold with a thin head. Sweet malt aroma with herbal and floral hops. Balanced flavor with sweet malt and a solid floral hoppy finish. Decent.

Oh man was this beer terrible. Mild, uninteresting hops in both the aroma and flavor. Terrible palate
