thefle (111), , New Jersey, USA Feb 2, 2009 Now my rating for this is probably skewed. I was very drunk when I tried it. However from what I recall this was a smooth, mildly bitter beer that was very easy to drink.I should drink it sober to re- rate, but from what I remember there wasn’t anything noteworthy to go back for RasterMaster (120), , Oklahoma, USA Feb 2, 2009 Golden copper pour into off white foamy head. Aroma of malt and piney hops. Initial flavor of sweet malt that fades into a well balanced slightly hoppy bitterness. mcox90 (618), Wilton, USA Jan 29, 2009 22 oz bottle. Pours an amber, copper color with a 1/2" white head. Aroma is malts, grains and hops. Palate is average. A little thin, but ok. Nicely balanced flavor of malts, caramel and hops. This was one of my "gateway" beers into better beer. There was a time when I thought this was the cats ass. TaktikMTL (2749), Montréal-Nord, Quebec, Canada Jan 28, 2009 Bouteille de 12 oz dégustée chez Arvad’s Grill & Pub (Waterbury, VT) Arôme: Odeur d’agrumes avec une pointe de caramel et de noix. Apparence: La couleur est orangée voilée. Présence d’un mince col mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût d’agrumes et de caramel avec une pointe d’alcool. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture onctueuse. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Présence d’agrumes en arrière goût. (Rating #2168) crajun (89), , Texas, USA Jan 27, 2009 Enjoyed the first couple of tastes
but the hoppy middle/end was just a little too much for me scotch4281 (39), Hollywood, Florida, USA Jan 25, 2009 Wow! My kind of beer. rich, malty, thick, smooth, I didn’t think that it was too hoppy. Nice brown color. Will be added to my repertoire. ScottB (73), Bristow, Virginia, USA Jan 23, 2009 Pours a slightly hazy copper color with virtually no head and an exceedingly thin ring of lace around the outside of the glass. Balance is the word that defines this beer for me. Malty, sweet caramel notes are equally matched by the bitter hoppiness. Easy to drink. davexisxrabid (2), , California, USA does not count Jan 20, 2009 Nice head, good lacing, nice color.
Citrusy aroma, fairly hoppy.
Bold flavor, tends toward a hop bitterness in the middle and aftertaste of every drink.
Medium bodied bock, A biting bitter taste lingers on the palate, definitely indicative of a heller bock.
Good, but not great.
