3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 kramer (5441) - Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 21, 2014
Tap. Pours a clear copper with a small fizzy off-white head that faded to a thin ring. The nose is slightly sweet and toasty with a little crystal malt, minimal to no hops present. The flavor is a little too sweet with lots of crystal malt. This could really use some hops in here. Lingering huskiness on the finish along with that odd chemical like note I tasted in the Hefe. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, a touch clingy, with fizzy soft carbonation. Very boring, even for a generic Red Ale.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 Headbanger (3556) - Aurora, Illinois, USA - AUG 12, 2013
Sample at brewery 7/26/13-Pours a medium amber with a small head. Aroma of malt, caramel, and toffee. Taste of the same. This medium bodied brew was a bit weak but still not bad.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 probstblueribbon (3353) - Nepean, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 23, 2011
Sample at Seneca Lodge Brewfest. 03DE11.
App.: Clear copper, off-white rim.
Aroma: Earthy, British malts, a little wet ash, hints of fruit, stern caramel and leafy hops.
Palate: Medium body, fairly aggressive effervescence.
Flav.: Earthy, British malts, wet ash, follows the nose well (unfortunately); dry with some bitterness and an oddly watery finish, some fruity, earthy caramel.
Too British for my tastes. Sorry, Britain.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 zdk (1852) - New York, New York, USA - AUG 25, 2011
tap at Brewpub - although the malt profile was underwhelming, I liked the hops in this one. Aroma is great - plenty of spice, pine and citrus. Something out of balance in the taste, but kudos to being able to figure out how to use hops. Cause Market St isnt doing much else all that well.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 johnnnniee (3093) - Bedford, New Hampshire, USA - AUG 6, 2011
On tap 8/1/2011
Pours a deep reddish brown color with a thinnish off white head that dissipates quickly. Smells of earth and caramel. Gives off hints of prune and dark burnt sugar but is really kind of boring on the nose. Taste is malty with caramel toffee and barely enough hops to provide any balance. Slight astringent taste in there actually cuts through some of the sweetness, but hops would have been a better choice for that. Medium carbonation with a medium to thin body and a watery sweet mouthfeel. I didnt enjoy this one much.

Draft at the brewpub. Pours golden amber with a thin head. Malty sweet aroma with caramel and a hint of hops. The flavor is on the bland side, but well balanced. Light sweetness with a light hop presence. Not bad.

Just easy drinking with a good balance, not a big beer. Maybe a little more to the Malt side. Head and lacing OK

Sample on tap at brewpub. Very little aroma, maybe some dirty grain and grass. Golden amber clear with foamy off-white lacing head. Medium body with medium-light carbonation. Nice flavor. Malty sweet with honey and a bit of neutral fruit. Pears. Light to medium dry hoppy bitter finish and dry chalky after.

2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20 Sammy (9836) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - OCT 20, 2007
Malty in aroma and lots of lace. Appreciate the sessionable ABV. Moderately bitter though thin in body, there is flavour despite IBU of only 16. Amber colour. Not a bad one.
