| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 2, 2009 Bottle from Greens in Atlanta. Aroma was not what I expected. I smelled a bit of fig/raisin/date along with some yeast and tart vinous notes. Flavor is quite tart and the fruit kind of got lost in the tartness and yeasty characterstics. Just ok.

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jun 28, 2009 It poured a hazy brown-orange liquid with a small foam that stayed. It also had allot of yeast floating around. It smelled a bit like wine, with some yeast and alcohol. The flavor was similar with wine, yeast and some fruit. However it was bland and a bit boring. finol (492), Nacka (Stockholm), Sweden

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 8, 2009 Appearance: Pours a hazed, dark amber body with a fizzy, white head that’s a bit on the small side. Light effervescence.
Smell: Lightly toasted Belgian malts, fresh spices, and various other fruits try their best to compete with the particularly strong fig juice scent.
Taste: Lightly toasted maltiness with a slight hint of caramel candy. A slug of fig juice alongside a small touch of acidity. Also sliced pears and a slow drop of citrus oil. Herbaceous spiciness and thin vein of funk at the midpoint. Herbal, floral hops with only a small, small amount of bitterness. Finishes dry, spicy, and fruity.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Moderate carbonation.
Drinkability: Worth a try. Interesting and fairly enjoyable. Hope you like figs!
