| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 13, 2005 Translucent fiery yellow in color. Not much head, but at one time, a smiley face manifested on the surface to let me know that the feeling was mutual. Aroma is fresh cut grass, recently harvested potatoes, some alcohol wafts, and barley and yeast. Hits the tongue, and damn, that’s nice. Sweet lemon drop characteristics meets caramel, toffee and a lighting tour of a botanical garden - we’ve got lavender, grass, mustard seed, sunflowers and rose petals. This would make a premium summer quaff. Thanks to CaptainCougar for sharing! hezron (603), Viroqua, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 12, 2005 Light aroma of celery and musty apples, just a slight hint of alcohol. Cloudy golden color with a persistant white head. Flavor continues where the aroma left off with musty apple and a lightly sweet malty flavor, almost metallic, but not really. Medium body, soft carbination and a quick finish. Thanks to CaptainCougar for bringing the bottle to share. MIBRomeo (1965), Wisconsin, USA

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jun 4, 2005 Pours a lightly hazy copper with a huge frothy ivory head. Heavy lacing. Smells yeasty and spicy. Clove, coriander and pepper. Sour fruity malt.
Taste is fruity and lightly sour. A nice spicy finish, peppery. Sweet with hints of alcohol showing through but drys out in the finish a bit. Very creamy mouth which is unexpected. The creaminess adds to the drinkability, really smooth. Overall not as complex and mind-blowing as I expected from the aroma but a really good choice anyway. I’ll have another...
