| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 28, 2009 Reddish golden in colour with a thin white initially large head, light lacing. The aroma is herbal and floral, grainy with some cereal and dirt. The flavour is lightly sweet at first turning bitter, some herbal hop bite in this, pale malts with lots of cereal. Lightly bitter mouthfeel, light body, medium carbonation. Finishes long, sweet turning to bitter, dry.
Pretty straight forward but that seems to be the case with most flagship offerings.
750ml bottle obtained in a trade with TheJester, thanks Andy.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 4, 2009 Big ceramic capped bottle shared before Grey Cup. Yellow with a thin head. Grainy chewy aroma. Similarities to, but not as good or chewy or hoppy as Trois Mousquetaires Kellerbeer. Definately flavourful. wilderthanyou (423), Guelph, Ontario, Canada
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 4, 2009 Meh, it’s not bad. I like the packaging but the beer doesn’t really deliver what the packaging seems to promise. This isn’t really a standout beer, but it’s not bad. The aroma super bready malts, with some grassy hops, some floral notes, and an odd note of playdough. The flavour is a little touch of honey at first, some bread, grain, citrus rind, ends on a lightly dry, bitter, soap taste, but not really in a bad way. asheft (1443), Marburg, Germany
