2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottled. Poured lighter amber with a well-retained cap of beige head. The aroma picked up very sweet caramel and nutty notes with light floral, honey, and chocolatey accents.. almost soda-like. The flavor was sweet as well with nutty notes leading.. tartness surrounded, but I couldn’t place it.. again some chocolate and honey.. finished quick, but tacky. Lighter-bodied with rather high carbonation on the palate.. grainy, especially as it warmed up.. not a whole lot of goodness here, but it was non-offensive.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Orange/amber color with a small head of off-white bubbles. Aromas of pale malt and orange blossoms. Dry toasted malt with a bit of corn silage in the flavors. The ambers are not friendly tonight. Somewhat earthy and a bit of tartness.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Dark amber body with a thin off white head. The aroma was malty and alcoholic with some cheap orange juice. There was also a little bit of rotting almonds. The taste was sweet old toffee and rotting almonds. There was also a little bit of orange peel, but it hides behind the nasty malt body. This seems flat and under carbonated. There is a strange slightly tart note.

Taste is medium bodied, some carbonation with flavors of caramel malt, some flowery hops a touch of roasted nuts and spice. Finish is slightly metallic with some flowery hop and malt aftertaste.
