3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft. Deep brown amber...a little to discern i guess considering the plastic cup. Fluffy head. Deep and malty. Interesting tangy hop finish. Smooth open-air fermentation shines. Very mellow. Rich dark malt flavors, pretty unique.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
I had this last year, so I’m just going by handwritten notes from a while back. Attractive copper color, small white head. Floral hop aroma. Flavor is caramel malt and citrus hops with a strange and (near the end of the glass) slightly annoying metallic bitterness in the finish. Still a good beer though.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Amber, thin white fizzy head. Soft floral nose with lighter toasted caramel notes. Balanced light citrus and pale caramel malt flavors from start to finish. Light bodied, soft carbonation, dry, crisp, light bitter finish. MIght be a good crossover beer for the rookies...
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Sampler from the brewpub. Filtered and an amber ruby hue. Skim layer of tight off-white head. Grainy sweet malty aromas. Smooth and crisp with a nice medium bodied palate. Good initial malt flavor. Easy with a good spicy hop finish. Slight lingering flavor. Both the malts and the hops stay with you. Really enjoyed this one!
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft at the 2005 Marlyland Brewers Spring Fest... Clear, amber ale with a small, fizzy, off-white head. The nose is of light caramel and citrus hops. Well-balanced flavor with a touch of grapefruit and toffee. Light to medium-bodied with a mildly creamy mouthfeel and lively carbonation. Short, crisp, clean finish.
