[1] Review by Vac from San Diego, California, USA who has tried this beer once. (2/26/2008 3:21:19 PM)
"Pours with an orange-gold body topped by a thin to medium thick head with some lacing. It’s sweet and malty with a note of spice and butterscotch as well as a slight bitter grassiness. The aroma is lacking. Medium bodied, smooth yet warming."

[2] Review by Phil B from Gatineau, Canada who has tried this beer once. (2/7/2008 2:31:18 PM)
"Bottle courtesy of Unclemattie: Poured a cloudy copper/amber color with a light foamy head with minimal retention and no lacing. Aroma of sweet malt kind of took me by surprise with some dry hops. Taste is dominated by some sweet malt almost reminiscent of a barleywine with a dry hoppy finish which clash with the malt profile. Body is quite full with some average carbonation and no apparent alcohol. I didn’t like the mix between the sweet malt and the hops and it is not something I would wish to try again."

[3] Review by Dansting from Overland Park, KS, USA who has tried this beer once. (12/13/2007 10:21:00 PM)
"Bottle. Poured a clear golden color with a thick white head. Nice lacing. Aroma is sweet and fruity. Really nice mouthfeel. Flavor is really sweet, with an almost cider-like taste to it. Alcohol present in the aftertaste. I'm usually not a fan of these imperial pilseners, but this one is pretty nice."

[4] Review by Cybercat from Atlanta, GA, USA who has tried this beer once. (9/7/2007 10:47:38 PM)
"This beer is a transparent dark golden amber. The strong aroma has a heavy fruity overtone, making it smell more like a cider than a beer. Flavor is more fruity than malty, rather like apple juice with a nice alcohol bite, rather like a good hard cider. Smooth and a little bitter, not outstanding but refreshing."

[5] Review by JohnC from Mission Viejo, CA, USA who has tried this beer once. (2/17/2007 5:00:44 PM)
"This pours an opaque golden color with a one finger white head. The aroma is mainly grassy. The flavor starts out slightly malty sweet but finishes dry and bitter with some lemony flavors. It's a thirst quencher and very easy drinking."
