| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 24, 2008 Forgot to upload my notes last year. Maybe that is because this beer is anything but memorable. Reddish copper color with a medium sized off white rocky head. Looks really great. Nose is apples wood sunflower seeds, salt. Taste is the same with some toasted malt and a decent crisp acidic finish. Bit woody tasting. Its good but not outstanding. kmeves (1080), Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, USA
