Medium body that is also crisp with a light roughness to the body and sharp flowing carbonation.

2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 tytoanderso (1476) - SLP, Minnesota, USA - JUN 4, 2009
12oz bottle. Shit... need my Tennessee rating, so here she goes. Aroma has a bit of citrus at first, but after a bit, it becomes a messy malt bomb. Some dough and bread crust. Seaweed, mushrooms and an odd cinnamon spiciness. Pours a hazed orange/amber with a sustained, frothy white head. Minimal hops on the palate. Plenty of off-flavored malt. More mushrooms, uncooked bread dough, soggy Cheerios. Ugh. Slick and oily body. Light carbonation with a vegetal finish. Thanks Tennessee!
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Soonah (1120) - Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA - JUN 4, 2009
From tronraner via trade. The pour was a standard clear copper color with a one-finger tall white head that produced decent lace. The aroma was on the sweet side, with graham cracker coming out along side some light pepper. Pine and floral hops came out eventually. Flavor was less sweet. More of a contrast between the peppery spices and the pine and floral hops. The mouthfeel was watery. A bit above average.
