| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 27, 2008 Deep copper body with a lot of fast moving bubbles. There is a decent medium khaki head on top. The aroma has some rich bread and amaretto. There is a little hint of dried cherries and cinnamon. The taste has some rich, slightly burnt bread crust with some figs. The finish is stewed black tea. This is ok, but I would prefer some more sweetness. Skyview (4057), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Jan 6, 2008 Sampled from 12-oz bottle, shared by joebrew, pours a clear coppery amber brew with a fast dissolving white head that dissipates clean with no ring or film top. Aroma of light caramel malt, some Belgian yeast, banana esters and a touch of toast biscuit. Taste is medium bodied, well-carbonated, flavors of light caramel malt and some yeast/banana flavor. Finish is slightly flat, semi-dry with an aftertaste of Ivory soap and yeast. badgerben (3605), Blaine, Minnesota, USA

| 1.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 2/10 | 3/5 | 5/20 | May 23, 2009 Bottle in a Springfield hotel room. Bottle poured a dull, dirty amber color. Honestly this beer sucks. I couldn’t even guess what style this was. Has definitely gone sour and is just a total mess. Of the infected beers I have had, this is probably the worst.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Jan 15, 2008 on the label: "A level and plum Belgian-style ale." Don’t get it. Apparently, the name comes from one of Lucan’s most popular exports...frame straighteners, I’d guess?
Poured into a Delirium Tremens tulip. Dark reddish hue, under a small white ring of foam, soon gone.
Sweet aromatics, yep, plums primarily, plenty of dark fruits, berries, ripeness, plump and bright. Yeast and malt singing away. Nice.
Taste: sweet, then tart for a second. Dark fruits maintain dominance in flavor, it’s tasty, but bodiless, and drifts away too quickly. Good drinkability, but loses points for seeming watery and thin.
I think they’re on to something, but it needs some work, something to give it depth and make it memorable.
It’s good, but just evaporates from mouth and memory much too quickly. BDR (2164), Roseville, Minnesota, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Jan 6, 2008 Light hops and grain on the aroma. Orange copper color that’s crips and clear with high carbonation. Light bready body with some faint yeast on the finish. A little chemical hint on the finish. Thanks to Joebrew for the bottle! blutt59 (2145), Dallas, Texas, USA
