| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 19, 2006 Bottle in a Thai curry house - a suprisingly pleasant complement to my light chicken stir fry. Plenty of fragrant hops with a slight citric element but with firmer malt underneath. Lightly sweet leading inoto a rounded finish with slight saltiness. A fairly decent bottled bitter. csbosox (1082), Prairie Village, Kansas, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 12, 2006 1pt9oz bottle. Got it on clearance at Lukas liquors. BB 28 Dec ’04.Served in a NB worthy glass (tulip). Muddy, gold/orange color and a tiny white head that dies down quickly. Aroma is earthy, spicy noble hops and a some brown sugar-like sweetness. The inital taste is green apple, caramel, rye bread followed by an earthy, mildly bitter finish. I don’t care much for the hops, but it is a good example of the style, I could use more bitterness, but then this beer was made to be enjoyed 15-18 months ago.

| 1.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 1/5 | 3/20 | Feb 2, 2006 Bottle. Awful. Drain pour. Watery, unbalanced, harsh. Didn’t seem off, just bad. I’m certainly in the minority here but beware, it may not be what you’re looking for. bu11zeye (5621), Frisco, Texas, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 18, 2006 (Bottle) Pours a clear amber with a medium-sized beige head. Aroma of malt, caramel, nuts, and some fruit. Flavor of malt, nuts, and hops with a bitter finish. Bigsilky (322), Charleston, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Jan 16, 2006 12 oz. bottle. The soft and sturdy hops on the nose actaully belie the entrance on the palate. As a short dry fruit flavour develops a salty hoppy richness overcomes the tongue. Can I really taste the sea air? Amazingliy refreshing. Thank God it’s sold in four packs rather than sixers. jhliesen (406), West Melbourne, Florida, USA
