| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 19, 2007 2006 bottle sampled on 5/23/07: Pours a hazy dark copper with a large, airy off-white head. Aroma of slightly oxidized, earthy caramel malt with some mild piny hops. Body starts with a touch of light caramel and lightly earthy bitterness balanced toward a fairly full finish. True to style, and seems to have aged fairly well. Palidor19 (1772), Brandon, Florida, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Aug 18, 2007 I think this beer looks better than it actually tastes. The color is light reddish brown with a cream colored head. The taste is a tad tart with some definitive herbal flavors. for the true connoisseur nick76 (2656), Tampa, Florida, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 16, 2007 Bottle (750ml). Shared with blankboy, GregClow, mds and tupalev - my bottle via trade with Ughsmash. Murky deep orange, huge fluffy off-white lasting head. Aroma like a mild geueze - sour, extremely yeasty, lightly lactic, cut-grass hops. The taste is very yeasty and pungent hops, sharp, crisp and bitter in the finish. Decent body, bitter finish, nice carbonation. Solid beer, really like it. fishingnet (1045), Brandon, Florida, USA

The aroma is great with its spices and welll balanced hops, malt and yeast, very appealing. The flavor is amazing, it feels like a superb fruity cake with malt, hops and yeast, all the elements are well balanced. The body has a light to medium thickness with a creamy texture and moderate carbonation. Amazing.
