MrBeer (276), Erie, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 1, 2007 Nice amber appearance with a very good first taste. Went down very smooth and had a nice pleasant aroma to it. grandet (477), Scranton, Pennsylvania, USA May 21, 2007 Nice amber pour with nut flavor. Nothing amazing here but nothing bad. I cn enjoy this every no and then steelers37 (62), little ferry, New Jersey, USA May 20, 2007 clear amber pour with a nice piney aroma. flavors of nuts and pine with spice and a slightly sweet finish. good bochi23 (90), USA Apr 25, 2007 I was excited to finally try a Troegs. Obviously, they make some well reviewed beers on this site. The beer poured a nice orange, amber with a decent head. The aroma was slightly citrus with ample hop smell coming through. The flavor was alright. Not as bitter as I was hoping for and the finish was quick. Reading the other reviews I’m going to try a couple of other bottles and see if I change my opinion. Otherwise, this was just an average beer for me. Drinkable, but average. MrBendo (1039), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA Apr 23, 2007 Bottle. Clear orange with a near medium head. Aroma of grass and citrus hops with caramel. Taste is almost spicy. Flavor is moderately sweet and moderately bitter. Medium body. Too good for an amber. It should be upgraded to at least a bock. ;-) padrefan98 (787), (San Diego) Santee, California, USA Apr 23, 2007 12 oz bottle. A redish orange pour with little head. Smells of crisp clean citrus. Taste of hops, caramel, and a little spice. Good stuff. wcampbell (572), Central, South Carolina, USA Apr 21, 2007 Great beer. A sweet but hoppy taste that is well balanced. Citrus, hoppy aroma. Impressively full flavor. Not a thin or watery beer at all. dpjuart (670), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 21, 2007 Updated: May 3, 2008Bottle. Pours off-white, creamy, slow-disapating head. Grassy aroma. Hiints of carmel. Malty in the beginning with a strong, crisp hop finish. Very good beer.
5/3/08 - RERATE - This is what happens when you rate one of your favorite beers early. Time to revisit. This is one of my favorite "go-to" beers. It’s on draft all over. Any who, here are the notes. Pours a clear amber with deep red hues. Slightly khaki, thick foamy head. Great lacing and retention. Nose is grassy/earthy hops with a subtle bright citrus crispness. A good amount of caramel and toffee aroma. Medium watery mouth feel. A moderate caramel malt backbone with some hints of chocolate and light roast, which is accented well with a moderate earthy bitter and hop flavor. This hits you mainly towards the end and lingers well into the after. The back of the palate screams "More! More!" A very well balanced beer that lets you know it’s there without being all up in your face. One of my favorites.
