| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 27, 2007 Bottled. A dark golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma is very sweet and very hoppy, the hops giving it notes of elderberrises and grass - reminds me of first gold hops. The flavor is very sweet - with strong notes of caramel, and with a good mouthfeel. But it lacks bitterness, which in turn makes it a bit sticky in the mouth - give it more bittering hops and it’ll be great. JK (2960), Richfield, Minnesota, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 1, 2009 Moderate hops. Clear gold color. Light hops flavor and a solid palate. Some citrus and a little pine. I am surprised the alcohol is so high, it was well hidden in the flavor. larsniclas (3386), Gothenburg, Sweden

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 4, 2009 Pours burnt orange with gold highlights and a moderate to small white head. Aroma is piny and fruity, but like some strange flowers I’ve never smelled before; also with lemon, unoaked chardonnay, and a slight white chocolate malt base. Tastes sweet at first with white chocolate, white bread, and brown sugar, sweet orange and lemon citrus, slight pine, and plants. Finishes with linger sugar-coated citrus that’s kinda tangy, fruity, and plenty bitter. Medium bodied, light-ish carbonation, very soft mouthfeel. Decent and interesting, it’s got some finesse aside from the bitterness.
