| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Oct 31, 2007 (Draught) Pours a clear golden body with a moderate off-white head.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 10, 2008 Tap at brewery: Slightly hazy golden hue with a fading head and spotty lace. The aroma has notes of grains of paradise, clove, cardamom, ginger bread cookies, wheat and some noted alcoholic vapours. The taste is weird, there was a slight note of vinegar twang around the edges before the base malt and sweet fruits come to play. The finish again is spice driven and what appears the be ginger becomes a tad overpowering, a bit boozy on the palate as well. This beer is all of the place, part of it I liked and part of it is discombobulated. goldtwins (4084), Nesconset, New York, USA

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 9/20 | Oct 5, 2005 GABF 2005. Pale amber in color with a small, light brown head. Pine-Sol and alcohol aroma. Flavor was an essence of orange peel, cleaning chemicals, and rye. Something was definitely off with this batch, it almost seemed unfinished. Rushed for the festival, perhaps?

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 23, 2007 Sample at Indiana Microbrewers Festival - Aroma is spicy ginger, coriander and pepper. Pours hazy amber with no head. Flavor is also very spicy and a little acidic. Palate is thin and smooth. Pretty tasty if you like spicy brews. ultraspank (866), Dublin, Ohio, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 1/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Jul 22, 2007 Thanks to Bob, Michelle, and mostly my baby Jana for the 12th annual Indiana Microbrewers Festival today! On tap @ the fest. Nose of salt & vinegar, brine & pickles; and I swear I’m not making this up, A-1 steak sauce. The beer is hazy honey with melon highlights, thin head, no lace. The brew is fruity & floral, actually not bad, the finish is melon-like and wheatish. The medium body is creamy and soft. Can’t say that I’ve had anything like it.
