Jun 23, 2004 Bottle at Brewtopia ’04.
Deep golden color with little head. Aroma is malt and spicy orange with no hop aroma as expected for the style. Flavor is heavily spiced, citrusy. Not bad.

May 8, 2004 Isn’t the label a rating category? Darn...should be! Oh well, I guess we’ll have to rate this one the contents. Poured a ruddy-orange with a light head. Aroma has a bit nutty (odd?). Tasted was surprisingly spicy, with a sweet ride to the finish.

Aug 25, 2007 On draft at some little BBQ joint in Seal Beach, CA. Really nice example of the style, a pleasant spice to cut the bigness that comes off drinkable and fantastic.

Aug 14, 2005 Bomber bottle with a very interseting label. hazzy dark amber with medium head that diminished quickly. Complex sweet fruit aroma. Medium body with smooth texture. Complex full flavor with long sweet finish with a small alcohol bite. The brew was as interesting as the label.

Sep 11, 2006 Updated: Apr 24, 2007This pours a copper color with a good size head, but it diverts to lacing quite quick. It maintains that throughout the glass though. Smell is sugary and yeasty, with something that reminds me of pineapple. It was odd when I first tried this 2.5 years ago, but I like it now. Taste is similar with more caramel malt flavors appearing, but the sweetness is the real feature here. The beer tastes good before swallowing, but there’s something weird about the finish, as if that pineapple flavor in the aroma all of a sudden goes bad. It might just be that the hops don’t gel at all with the sugars and yeast, but it tastes like cheap bubblegum on the back of my throat. Don’t get me wrong, I like cheap gum, but I don’t want it here. Immort Ale was able to do a good finish on a beer like this, but this one misses. I think Avery was more successful with Samael as far as low-hop, really sweet beers go. I like the low carbonation levels, the thick mouthfeel, the non-apparent alcohol, and the altering flavors, but that bubblegum aspect has got to change.
Subsequent tastings of this beer have shown no bad bubblegum or rotten pineapple flavors at all. Definitely a nice mellow yeast and grain flavor to the finish
