2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Poured a clear copper color with a tall foamy tan head. There was a light amount of carbonation bubbles rising in the glass. There was a light fruit aroma mixed with a bit of a sweet aroma from the malt. There was a nice smooth mellow flavor of the sweet malt with just a hit of hops on the finish. This was an easy drinking beer, but not very special.
2.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Pours a clear reddish amber with a large foamy beige head. Sweet aroma of crystal malt, lots of hay and some honey. Flavor is the much the same... light flavor, lots of hay, some crystal malt, nothing interesting. Lighter body with softer but crisp carbonation. Very disappointing.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a clear copper with no head at all. Aroma is caramel malt and spice. Taste is nutty with carmel sweetness. Hop flavors and bitterness are almost nonexistent. Finish is tart orange peel, as others have noted.

UPDATED: SEP 3, 2008 bottle. amber pour with thin head. rich malty aroma. body grainy. light fruit, nutty malts and light bitterness. A let down for the price.

it’s alright: aroma--bread, floral, buttered broccoli; caramel, soap, grapefruit/peel aftertaste like joeymacaroni notes below me--meh.
