| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 29, 2006 Huge coarse white head collapses quickly into dark bronze body. Sweet harmonic malty pine needle aroma with roasty metal notes. Taste is sweetish pine needles and resin with dark malty notes, and some metal. Aftertaste is dry resin. Quite good, but nothing spectacular. (0.5l bottle.) FrankJohansen (3370), Århus-Randers Crew, Denmark
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 19, 2006 Bottle. Amber colour with a medium creamy mostly lasting head. Aroma and taste of hops with fruity notes. Good beer. TheGrandMaster (1872), Auckland, New Zealand
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 18, 2006 Updated: May 23, 2007Poured from the bottle, a clear amber, a little carbonation and a large bubbly white head. At first the aroma is malty, but then this gives way to a pleasant sweet berry fruitiness. Smooth and light on the palate at first, with malty flavours. This gives way to a long bitter finish with hoppy fruit flavours. Only downside would be the carbonation, which just takes a little away from it overall. anders37 (4779), Malmö, Sweden

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jun 8, 2006 Bottled. Weak, lightly malty aroma, with some hops and a little metallic note. Almost copper-colored with a nice off-white head. Clear. Malty and bready up front, with hops and some caramel coming shortly after. Nice body and a finish with bitterness and a touch of sweetness. Pleasant, but a little too anonymous. (060525) dj (422), Gloucestershire, England

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 31, 2006 Updated: Mar 3, 2007From bottle. I love the smell of the beer, sweet and fruity aroma with a hint of malt. Great appearance, a clear orange glow with a thin head. A well balanced ale, sweet with a bitter finish. Overall a good bitter, nothing bad to say about this ale. A lot better than the TV Show! Re- rated, I still think this is a great enjoyable beer
