| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Apr 30, 2003 This brew poured very little head, but it had good lacing on the side of my mug. This beer had carbonation to it. It had a smooth taste with an ever so slight aftertaste. It had a citrusy aroma. To me it had a creamy and smooth mouth feel to it. Some bitterness, but not overwhelming. thedm (3836), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA

It had a transparent amber brown body with carbonation rising in the mug. It has a mild malty aroma and a very nice smooth initial taste with hints of spice and a malty flavor. It was a very nice all around brew that I would like to have more of. pivo (2537), Germany
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 2, 2003 Clear amber-brown color and a big spongy tan head. Caramelly toasted malt flavors initially maybe turning to raisins in themiddle. A metallic dry finish that is slightly bitter. Classic balance and a very controlled. Pretty damn good.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 2, 2003 this beer seems to divide the users here quite a bit, I liked it though. Ligth malty almond nose. Medium froth head, brussels laces leaving, nice light amber, soft carbonation. Malty, semi sweet, nutty and woody taste, medium lasting.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 24, 2003 Good malty aroma and pours with a decent amount of head. Flavor is sweet and well balanced with lightly bittering hops. This is very drinkable and goes down smooth. I also like the bottle. DallasBryan (111), Dallas, Texas, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 30, 2002 Dark ruby in color with an off-white head. Nice lacing. Aroma is rather bland: mostly alcohol and subtle hints of fruit (apple). Flavor is dry, roasted malt, medium carbonation. Finish is moderately long, low bitterness, and somewhat glassy.
