2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20 Crosling (1864) - Fort Collins, Colorado, USA - JAN 5, 2006
Draught @ the brewery. Light copper color. Fairly deep (considering the lack of aroma in most of their beers) and somewhat balanced aroma, with hints of vanilla, cashew, caramel and biscuit, along with a light hint of aroma hops. Flavor is very light and approachable and at least clean and well extracted, whereas most of their other beers are just poor, this is at least drinkable. Light hint of malt, with a touch of hop flavor and bitterness.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Aubrey (3501) - Bellingham, Washington, USA - OCT 28, 2005
Light to medium amber; small head. Chewy-sweet malts laden with caramel, buttered toast and sugary grains. OK hops (light flowers); very light bitterness. Fairly easy to drink, albeit a little too sweet and not bitter enough. Might appeal to the Fat Tire masses.

2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 Ernest (6841) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - JUL 4, 2005
Draught, Greeley, Pitchers.
Head is mostly diminishing.
Body is medium amber.
Aroma is moderately malty (cookie, grain), lightly hoppy (orange, apricot), with a light note of diacetyl.
Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter.
Finish is lightly sweet, moderately bitter, husky.
Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.
Ok aroma, maybe a little diacetyl, little grainy, but the main complaint here is in the mouth department. The balance is nice, plenty of bitterness, but that grain husk finish is unpleasant.
