| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 6, 2006 Pours a clear deep amber color with a nice initial off white head. Nice lacing.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 1, 2006 12oz bottle via trade with cbkschubert - Thanks Craig! - Pours dark amber with a creamy offwhite head that stays pretty well and laces a little. Aromas of light citrus hops over big caramel malts. Flavor is caramel with light citrus, a little toffee, some bread, slight bitterness on the finish but not really what I would call "aggresive" hoppiness.. Medium bodied average carbonation and fairly crisp and clean. Skinnyviking (4199), Copenhagen, Denmark

Resiny hop nose was surprising, lightly fruity, citrus and herbally. Body is medium, lightly coating on the palate. Medium sweet crystal malts, juicey hop flavors, citrus a little pine and a faint earthyness. Finish is a touch sweet and grainy. One solid Amber! Thanks Craig!
