| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 1, 2006 12 oz bottle: Hazy orangish w/ a lasting cream colored head. Grainy malt aroma right off the bat. Bready and caramel malt follow like a line of chicks following mother hen. Some light herbal hop aromas. Also a hint of roasty malt. Balance is overall good with a dry, short lived herbal hop flavored aftertaste. Malt character is a bit weaker than in the aroma, but toasty, lightly nutty, and a bit of caramel. Lighter medium body, higher medium carbonation, smooth m/f. Overall not a bad beer! Nice complexities for a mass produced micro. KUEric (632), Chevy Chase, Maryland, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 27, 2006 12 oz bottle: You know, this was much better than I was expecting. And I’ll go so far as to say pretty tastey. It poured a nice reddish-golden color. A small/fait aroma, but what was there, was good & nice. Caramel, toffee, citrus, malts, bread, etc. The taste was similar to the aroma, more malts that hops, but not too sweet like many malty beers ... and had just enough of a balance.

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Nov 24, 2006 The malty caramel aspects of this beer weren’t too bad but the beer seems to derive balance by drowning them out rather than accentuating them. IMtheOptimator (1161), Bethel, Connecticut, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 23, 2006 Poured a clear effervescent amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of dry toffee and a bit of caramel. Taste has a lot of hoppy dryness up front, with some underlying caramel, toffee, and a bit of lemony fruit. Just a touch of skunk throws this a bit off. Average body. Not terrible, but not extremely drinkable. Ibrew2or3 (2724), Safety Harbor, Florida, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 21, 2006 12oz bottle. Clear copper color with nice tan head and good lacing. This beer creates the same flavor as aroma. There’s sweet caramel malts, a bit of biscuit, dryer tasting roasted malts and some floral to spicy hops. Tasty brew. buckybeer (666), Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA

Sourish malts. Taste is pretty nice. Decent malts with a smidge of spice. A decent brew. KellyL (7), Wichita Falls, Texas, USA does not count | 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 12, 2006 Bottle. Amber in color, off white head. NIce aroma reminds me of hazelnut. Taste starts off malty with a mild hop finish. Slightly warming mouthfeel. A nice mild autumn ale.
