| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 2, 2009 Clear brown with foamy off white head. Aroma was nutty, lightly astringent, butter, caramel. Flavor was bitter, dirt, earth and caramel. gpekar (223), Maryland, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 1, 2009 Poured a slightly hazy orange/amber color. The head was a tall creamy light tan. The head left a light amount of lacing. The aroma was rather mild and was of malt and bread. There was a light malt sweetness to the taste, but it was also on the dry side. Others here have mentioned a mineral taste, which is what I found, but couldn’t put a finger on it at the time. There was a little bit of hops that came thru toward the finish that made it refreshing. It was an easy drinking beer DigitalMan (113), Idaho, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Apr 30, 2009 Kinda boring. Flavor seems weak, and barely even tastes like it has any alcohol at all. There’s nothing "off" about this beer, nothing overbearing, just nothing special. Every swallow tastes more like water. Weird. BMan1113VR (2813), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 30, 2009 Bottle. Pours with a small, off-white head over a clear bronze body. Aroma of malts, light esters, caramel, sugar and very light hops. Taste is metallic, bread, soil and bitter. Fizzy and dry mouthfeel. l1br4r14n (275), Washington, Washington DC, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 28, 2009 Pours a dark amber with a frothy two finger sandy-brown head. A light aroma of malty sweetness. Flavor is sweet malt, caramel, some raisins and just a bit of hop bitterness. Nicely balanced, albeit leaning to the malt. Light mouthfeel, light carbonation and a little creamy. Super easy to drink, a great session beer. SamGamgee (1429), Santa Cruz (La Selva), California, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 25, 2009 55cl bottle. Clear amber with a fizzy head. Caramel, toasty malty and minerally, earthy aroma. Light caramel, earthy hops and a medium-bitter finish with light lingering sweetness. Light fruity esters but pretty clean and light mineral flavors. Medium bodied with medium-light carbonation. Pretty nice malt character with a somewhat anonymous hop bitterness. I know its just a facsimile of a proper premium bitter (or english pale ale?) but it is still somewhat pleasant.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 19, 2009 Nutty, caramelly, malty and pretty soft pale ale with not much bitterness. Easy to drink, easy to forget. Nesta13 (202), Australia
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 15, 2009 Pretty good English pale ale. Nothing outstanding but a good example of the style.
