| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 28, 2004 Aroma reminded me of a weiss beer with some maltier aromas. The beer poured with a big head that faded fast to nothing. Differnet than most rye beers I have had in that the dominate flavor is wheat yeast with the rye flavors up front. A decent beer.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 28, 2004 Aroma of rye bread, wheat, and citrus. Appearance is murky orange with a good head and a LOAD of sediment. Flavor is quite doughy and sour with a bit of yeast. Similar to a glass of OJ. Different in many respects. Overall an ok experience. biermonk (259), San Francisco, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 25, 2004 Poured a cloudy orange with a long lasting head atop. Nose was primarily malt and rye with some lighter fruits in the background. Flavor was oatmeal very heavy beer followed by some citrus character. Nice Big Beer. Full mouthfeel very chewy almost a meal in itself. cb (809), Wheat Ridge, Colorado, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 9, 2004 Cloudy pumpkin. Sharp rye malt aroma. Lingering 1/8" foam. Tangy, dry, somewhat metallic. Extremely quaffable, simple and just not that good. I think it was meant to be consumed on draft. I have an affinity for rye malt and hope I have a chance to taste this in Germany someday soon. ukoolaid (572), Amherst, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Dec 31, 2003 On Tap. Nice cloudy amber color with small white head. Aroma is citrusy with spice. Good flavor to this one. It's like a sour hefe. One of the better ales I've had. igneous1 (1374), Davenport, Iowa, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Dec 21, 2003 color is a nice hazy orangeish copper. with a thin white head, mostly nonlasting. aroma has lots of clove and spices with an airy quality to it...kind of like the gas you get before surgery, also a kind of berry quality to the aroma. very thick mouthfeel and moderately sweet. lots of spice in the flavor. some hop presence in the finish. one of the more unusual beers i've tried. goz (359), Chelmsford, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 7, 2003 Pours a murky amber, with a large light tan head, which mostly diminishes, leaving lots of lace. Aroma is spicy, rye, fruity (peach, lemon) ,very reminiscent of a hefe. Flavor is very hefe like, finishes with the rye, has a slight bubblegum like sweetness near the end of the bottle. Medium-full bodied, big carbonation, dry finish. TAR (2095), Boulder Co., Colorado, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 24, 2003 Extremely muddy butterscotch. Noisy, crackling head completely dissipates. Lost half the bottle to a foam gush, which stirred the three-inch high sediment. More like a mudbier. Looks like a half-gallon of yeast was poured into my glass. Spicy Hallertau aroma with some nutty malts and buttery yeast. Hints of anise, phenols, and earth. Furious carbonation. Faint acidity and nutty yeast notes up front, followed by a leafy, light metallic zing. Finishes dry and earthy with filmy yeast and hazelnuts. Phenolic belches, to boot. It’s gemlike qualities are very apparent underneath the jumbled mess of yeast, phenols, and carbonation. But that doesn’t get the job done. Note: Very fresh sample.
