| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 7, 2005 Strong nose of slightly sweet malt and yeast. Good coppery ale colour with a strong head. Flavour is equal handfuls of sharp and sweet resolving into a long, bitter finish (as the label says). Pretty good. BeerBlockaid (548), Jacksonville, Florida, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 2, 2005 Excellent looking ale. Nice amber colour with hints of orange. Some fruits, mostly dry fruits with a pale bitter. Well relaxed complexity...a little bready
enjoyable! DuffMan (2784), the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, Canada
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Aug 1, 2005 Nice looking pour-- deep orange amber, thick beige head leaving excellent lace. Fruity aromas, apricots in particular. Caramel toasty malt, mildly bitter finish. Nice standard ale. blankboy (3260), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jul 24, 2005 Bottle. Pours a sparkling dark amber with an average off-white head. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, light flowery hops, spices and yeast. Appearance and aroma are nice so you expect pretty good things from the taste but unfortunately it’s a dissapointment. The taste is slightly bitter and average but the aftertaste is quite unpleasant and the palate is too harsh. A mediocre ale. Likerighteous (120), Pflugerville, Texas, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 24, 2005 Pint from Central Market. Hard to get real excited about this, but then again, it followed an abbey tripel. Poured clear golden with lasting head. Almost nothing for the nose. An easy swill. Not complex. Didn’t look for another when this was gone. loeffler (16), Saint Louis, Missouri, USA
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/20 | Jul 17, 2005 Had a grassy/sweaty smell. Very grain-like and hoppy. The color is a nice amber with good lacing. The head was a bit rocky and off-white. The flavor was rather lacking and uninteresting. It has a dry, vinegar quality to it that finishes with a synthetic, hospital feel.
