| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 1, 2008 8/8/08 On draught at the Woodinville Brewery. Aroma is sweet malt forward with light roast and heavy caramel sweetness. Appearance is light copper with a moderate maintained cream colored head. Flavor is a fairly even noble hop/bready malt balance with a dominating sweetness that quickly dissipates and sourness that lingers into the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a slightly sour tang and medium carb bite. Overall, well balanced, but even the very slight sourness is a bit detracting. Trev (861), Lakeville, Minnesota, USA

Aroma is very light.
caramel malt. light toasty malt.
Flavour is even lighter than the aroma. Roasted biscuit maltiness. Very light bitterness in the finish.
Clean and drinkable, though a little light for my taste. NDbeerdrinker (164), Virginia Beach, Virginia, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 31, 2008 Pours a reddish amber color with about a 1 finger white head. Aroma is great...sweet, caramel, and roasted malts. Taste is a step down from the aroma, with the same qualities on a lesser scale. Taste is a bit watered down compared to the smell, but still pretty good. Pretty good seasonal ale. glkaiser (1164), Seattle, Washington, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 28, 2008 Clear copper w/ small head. Roasty caramel sweetness in the aroma. Good roast in the taste with just enough sweetness and definitely a bit of peat/smoke. Sharp, but not overbearing, hop punch is brief, but welcome. Overall, drinkable and enjoyable. Good fall session brew. alobar (1015), Harleysville, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 24, 2008 Reddish brown color with no head. Aroma of roasted malts and caramel. Tastes clearly caramel upfront with roasted malts on the back end. Nice beer. Gooney (57), Oregon, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Aug 18, 2008 12 oz bottle from Safeway - Pretty decent amber and a good seasonal brew. Poured a nice copper color with a slight foamy head. Kind of like Spongebob Squarepants. BückDich (4830), McCall, Idaho, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 1/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 17, 2008 Bottle: Amber color with light head and lacing. Nose of toasty and light cinnamon. A chewy malt swirl going on with a light earthy British hop note. Balanced tail. Very easy drinking amber ale with a little spicy something. Couldn’t get any smoky qualities though.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 15, 2008 Gorgeous autumnal orange-amber color befitting the fall. Topped with an airy float head. Clean, fresh aromatic medley of hops, medium malts, and wheat. Distinctly minty hop flavor with a more viscous body than I expected and having warming notes. An amber with a twist.
