| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Dec 29, 2008 Bottle. Cloudy deep straw color with a large airy head. Beautiful spicy-fruity aroma evokes bubblegum wrapper, flowers, and musk. The flavor combines spice, rum, and maple with hints of banana, galangal, and clove. There is a "taste" of sugar without actually being sweet. On the tongue, the beer feels rich, doughy, and electric with spice and carbonation. Peppery aftertaste is also barley vegetal. Very nice.

Slightly sweet, yeasty, and hoppy aroma.
Sweet and malty flavor. Raisins and cookies. Not particularly complex.
Hoppy, bitter finish.
Pretty decent, although nothing really special.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 18, 2008 Pours a nice golden straw colour with a thick solid white head that lasts a very long time and leaves wonderful lacing. Nose is spicy and clovey. The beer itself is very very dry. There is a nice bit of hop bitterness present. There might be a hint of banana at some point, but mostly spices. There is some malt in there, and that is nice, but not terribly strong. It is carbonated quite nicely, and is fairly light in the mouth, but not watery, just light.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 1/5 | 12/20 | Dec 10, 2008 Bottle from Belgian Belly, Chorlton. Looks great - attractive pale gold with large white head that settles down and lasts. Fresh floral and yeast aroma with a punch of alcohol. Taste is citrus and yeast with an lovely dry finish. However, all the excellent qualities are let down by a painfully thin body that completely unbalances this otherwise sound ale. Doppelganger (1353), Dry County, Arkansas, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 2, 2008 Bottle, from Beer Merchants. Thanks Phil! Warm blond, nice persistent white bubbles. Lovely minty and warm hay hop nose, little touch of vanilla. Gentle nettle bitterness blended beautifully with lightly sweet toasty malt. Subtle strawberry finish. Such a nice happy summery beer.
