| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 20, 2009 Bottle - Pours a light amber with a bubbly white head. Nose is sweet and fruity, yeasty, and a just a bit spicy. There’s some soapy smells, along with some unripe ctirus. Taste is yeasty, with light spice and wheat. There’s oak and dry, stale hops on the finish. Carbonation is harsh when cold, but much smoother as it warms. A pretty nice beer! patrickfannon (384), Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 27, 2009 750ml: pint glass: Must be the most highly carbonated beer I have ever had! If you pour like a tortoise then maybe, just maybe you can get away with 3 fingers of head... if not, you’re screwed! Great nose, very citrus and bright... the taste is reflective of the same. This beer had some surprising complexity between the citrus and esters, young sugars and slightly dark fruits. Cut through some very spicy bbq food.
