| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 1, 2009 Brownish pour. Fruity and tart aroma. Overripe sweet tarts. Wood, brett, wet mowed grass and vinegar. Flavor is sour but not crazy sour. Fruit, vinegar, hay and some light sweetness. Over priced IMO. michael-pollack (2685), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 28, 2009 750ml Bottle (Bottle 276 of 2837): Aroma of banana, spices, light acid, slight dark ripe fruits, sour apples, light muscat grapes, light wood, slight brett, and a hint of sour funk.

Tastes of sour fruit, wood, light vanilla, oak, slight alcohol, light acetic acid, slight brett, slight funk, slight dark ripe fruit, slight banana, and a tad of cocoa. Medium body.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 28, 2009 1pint-9.4ounce bottle purchased at Knightly Spirits Orlando, FL in 2007. Not worth the $21.00 KAME (156), California, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | May 26, 2009 An interesting brew indeed. Pours a caramel color with a few little bubbles. No head, and not much on appearance to comment on. Aroma is caramel, apples, some oak and a little tartness. Flavor is along the same line, with less sweetness than expected and a decent vinegar tartness. Alcohol is well hidden. Body is thin with little to no carbonation. Nothing special to report here. Not worth the $$ IMHO. scrizzz (1279), kirkland, Washington, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 28, 2009 Sweat socks and dirt, like after a long day running. Cutting rubbing alcohol voids some of the wood, get lots of waxy chapstick in the finish too.
