nagaden99 (1), USA does not count | 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 3, 2002 Sweet aroma of poppy seeds. Thick caramel color and smooth with a malt flavor. The body of this beer tends to swirl over the palate - carbonation is ’snappy’. Very refreshing. Felt like a 12oz size would be more appropriate though. BeerLimey (1873), California, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 20, 2002 Clear color, light carbonation, decent foam. Aroma of fruit and peppery spice. Palate is smooth but light. Mild caramel and biscuit at the front, turns sugary. Light hop bitterness in the finish. Thought this was going to be crap, nice surprise.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 8, 2003 A little odd. The pepper makes it odd. The malts are light but the hops balance everything out very nicely. Blake (218), Orange, California, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 28, 2002 A cloudy amber-yellow beer with a light head. Taste is thick, yet smooth. A yeasty flavor lingers after a mellow, easy initical hit of poppy seed flavor. Smells slightly citrusy with faint aroma of poppies. A very drinkable beer, but a bit too heavy after a while.

Medium bodied, starts and ends lightly bitter. Dry and crisp finish. akinm (282), San Diego, California, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 8, 2002 Looks like it wants to be crystal clear but hasnt quite made it there yet. very deep orange color with a very rocky white head. fruit and bread aroma. the taste starts out caramel malty and then develops into a breeady taste followed by a sour bitterness. the body is medium to heavy. this beer sticks around in my mouth when i am done drinking it. in order to get a better rating either need to lighten it up so that i dont have to taste it for so long or get rid of that weird sourness in the finish. morebier4me (140), New York, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 15, 2002 Iron in the nose that develops to a chardoney charactor as the beer warms and a thick lush head that turned to nothing quickly. Fair amount of malt but lacking the citrus I would expect in an american pale. Odd bitterness comes and goes on the side of the tounge. Alcohol becomes very present for ony 5.25 abv. Slight dryness in the finish and a bitterness that is somewhere between hops and chemicals. Not sure whats going on in this beer, it was almost like drinking 3 diferent ones.
