3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
From tap at the brewpub. Pours slight cloudy amber with a small white head. Aroma is light fruity and mild caramlish. Malty and caramelish flavoured. Light sweet flavoured into the far finish. Nice and smooth.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear amber with a thick, dirty tan head that dissipates quickly and leaves lots of lacing. Faint aroma and taste of bready caramels, citrus and melons, toasted toffees, and a light bitterness. Finishes dry with more of a sweet melony, soft bitter linger. Light bodied and smooth. Overall, not a bad beer, but fairly unexciting.

3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(11/5/08) Draught sample at the brewpub in San Diego. Hazy deep amber color with an off-white head. Aroma of toasted malt, some caramel, light hoppy hints and a bit of fruity notes. Sweetish malty flavor with toastiness, bread, caramel and a drier finish. Medium-bodied.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap at the Brew Pub. Poured a medium amber color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, citrus, and some grains. Tastes of the same with some toastiness.
1.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 6/20
Tap at SDBC. Amber coloured beer. Aroma is mostly of light pale malts. No real character malts apparent in spite of the deep colour. Flaovur is quite bland with just a kiss of earthy bitterness. Meh... quite uninspired.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: SEP 16, 2008 Rerate; same score. Review as follows....Sample at the brewpub; amber in color with a khaki colored head. Aroma of caramel, nuts, and buttery biscuits. Flavor was similar; a pretty decent hopping in the finish (for the style). All in all, it stood out a bit from others in the style.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Sample at the brewpub. This beer pours a clear orange-brown color with a medium beige head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Faintly sweet malt and fruit aroma. Medium-bodied with bready malt and fruit flavors plus a hint of hops. The finish is mildly malty with notes of caramel and hops left over. Not bad, just not impressive on any front.
