| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 15, 2008 Bottle. Body-orange yellow with a medium ring of bubbles. Nose-urea, public bathroom. Taste-dirty, lightly acidic, light orange, soap, high CO2, soft, cottony, gauzy, raw coriander seed, cottonseed oil, lemon oil. Overall very oily, light acid. Weird. Words cannot describe this thing. beerbuzzmontreal (2931), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | May 7, 2008 The pour reveals a hazy orange color with a thin white head. Very pleasant aroma of herbs with yeast and fruits. The flavor’s focal point is the herbs, which are very interesting, there is also some spices, yeast and fruits, pleasant dryness tags along. The body is medium with a creamy texture and gentle carbonation. This beer is another testament of Allagash’s competence at brewing interesting and original belgian beers.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 3, 2008 This one had nice hints of rye and a strange taste that i think is yarrow. it was supurb in many ways.
i don’t think that i could drink 2 pints of this, so it loses points on the drinkability for me. Rastacouere (5565), Montréal, Quebec, Canada
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 30, 2008 Objectively speaking:
A creative beast made by masterful hands. Experimental and passion worthy.
I like:
Gorgeous pour, large fluffy white head. The yarrow works beautifully, there is great potential to this plant as a substitute to hops during the shortage. Dry, sharp palate despite the malt’s thickness and underlying sweetness. Balanced to perfection. Lasting finish, pungent, herbal, floral, lingering and complex. Generous cerealic chewiness. Just tasty and racy. Excellent lively mouthfeel.
I dislike:
I’m very impressed. I wish I had gathered more from the rye, I never noticed it was there. Ungstrup (15420), Frederiksberg, Denmark

The aroma is sweet with strong notes of fruit - especially peaches.
