| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 21, 2003 This beer's appearance consisted of a large sized white head with fine sized bubbles that was mostly lasting. The body had a small amount of slow rising carbonation and the body was also cloudy with an orange-brown hue. The nose was fruity along with some clove and the flavor was sour and tart. The palate was smooth, fruity, watery, thin and light bodied. There was a fair amount of lacing on the sides of my glass with this beer. thedm (3836), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 12, 2003 THis brew poured a extremely envigorated head of fine to large sized longlasting white colored bubbles that left behind a minimal lace and a very cloudy dark yellow colored body with floating particles in it. The aroma contains notes of fruit, spices, clove and coriander. The mouthfeel was smotth at the start and tingly in the finish. THe flavor is milder than I expected with notes of mild bitterness, dough, mild spices and some rye. Horse blanket also came to mind. IPFreely (1470), Lewiston, New York, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 31, 2003 Murky brown color like pumpkin pie or apple cider with plenty of sediment and a big cream colored head. Spicy clove and yeast aroma. No rye in the aroma but it came through in the finish of the flavor. Flavor was also wheaty with some citrusy elements and some spice. Was similar to a dunkel weisse, but offered a nice complexity due to the rye. Good aracauna (2391), Georgia, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 25, 2003 You really need to let this one warm up a little before drinking it as it lets the rye come through in the finish. Otherwise, it comes across strongly as a hefeweizen. The beer was fresh enough that the yeast hadn't completely settled and lumped together so it was a muddy amber brown. There was heavy carbonation that formed a nice stiff head that lasted nicely. There was a bit of bubblegum and clove in the aroma and flavor. In the finish, the rye really comes out and makes a nicely spicy aftertaste. Good beer. Hopistotle420 (1178), Amherst, Massachusetts, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 9, 2003 Full of sediment, suspended paricles afeter carbonation subside. Weird milky sour nose. Pumpkin pie color is pretty cose to perfect. Lots of yeast, weird citrus, tangy, grainy, very much like apricot nectar. If this is how its supposed to be, then so be it. Im going to experiment to see if my sample was over shaken, or mistreated somehow. Drinkable, yet unusual. Strange, yet seductively drinkable. Roggenbier, unfiltered, oh yes. iwantalambic (1389), St. Louis, Missouri, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 21, 2003 Hazy pumpkin, continuous fizz raises through the pulp-like body. Spicey yeast aroma with some pineappleand orange pulp. . . Malt in the aroma is sugary and wet, while the hops are light and sour. Milky mouthfeel with loads of pulp and autumn spicy - pumpkin bread. Very interesting and worth the experience, but not one I would drink frequently. argo0 (6907), Washington DC, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 18, 2003 Big-bubbled tan head atop a murky amber body. Aroma is rye, herbal, and light peach. Taste is about the same, plus lemon (though not especially tart). Light/medium body. Very tasty. beerslayer (753), New Jersey, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Sep 9, 2003 This is a really good ale. Lemon, citrus, and rye flavor. Finishes crisp, clean and dry. Recommended.
