DarkElf (2938) - La Jolla, California, USA - JAN 11, 2011
28-Jul-10 (12-oz bottle) Cellared a bit longer than it should, the beer pours orange-amber in color with a small, off-white head that settles to a wide ring, leaving no lace. Low-intensity aromas of pale malt and bread are followed on the palate by flavors of bready, slightly toasty malt, red apples, and a trace of grassy, tea-like hops far in the background. Light-medium in body, light-medium in carbonation, and somewhat dry in the finish. Pretty simple, straight forward, and easy to drink, but it’s aged better than expected.

IlanMan (1015) - Appleton, Wisconsin, USA - JAN 30, 2009
Good malty aroma. Sweet malt flavor with notes of caramel and light dark fruit. Low hops. Well blended.

WisconsinBeer (659) - St. Paul, Minnesota, USA - JAN 16, 2009
Bottle. Pale orange color, strange lingering sediment that just floats around in the beer. Minimal head. Flavor is far away malt, just a tinge of hop bitterness. Medium smooth bodied. Once again, like every other Viking, the flavor is alright but it’s under-carbonated. Otherwise OK.

esjaygee (2496) - Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA - MAY 30, 2008
Amber with a thin quickly diminishing white head. Aroma of caramel and light apple. Taste of caramel and light fruit. Creamy body that starts with a malty sweetness that finishes a bit tart and dry. Goes down easy, though there’s not much to it.

incutrav (577) - Woodbury, Minnesota, USA - SEP 29, 2007
Pretty good stuff. Fairly thick and goes down smooooth. Certainly a carmel aspect there that is quite nice. Would drink this again

hopdog (6943) - Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA - AUG 19, 2007
12oz bottle. Poured a medium and slightly hazy amber color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of grains, caramel, bready and lightly buttery. Tastes of butterscotch candy, caramel, and grainy.

SoLan (1550) - Florida, USA - AUG 16, 2007
Clear gold/amber, small white head. Stale, old grains, doughy biscuits, a bit of vomit. Medium body, just smoother than balanced. Needs improvement.

GeneralGao (3515) - Iowa City, Iowa, USA - AUG 6, 2007
12 oz bottle. Poured a clear orange color. Head was two fingers high and off white with good retention and lacing. Smelled of sweet corn and malty caramel. Strangely enough, I also got an occasional whiff of strawberry yogurt. Slightly sweet and medium bodied with a soft mouth feel. Pleasant malty caramel flavor with the lightest hint of alcohol and a buttery note. Unusual aroma, but pretty tasty. It improved as I drained the glass.
