| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 12, 2003 When poured, the head was average size, creamy, frothy with a white head that consisted of fine-small sized bubbles that was mostly diminishing. The body was uncarbonated and cloudy with a golden hue. The nose was malty, fruity, sweet and a hint of citrus. The flavor was sweet and a bit acidic with a slightly tingly smooth mouthfeel. It was light bodied with good lacing. Aurelius (2655), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 12, 2003 A good, sturdy brew. Not terribly distinct, but it holds up fairly well. Malty aroma. Zippy hopping over some walnuts and graininess. Medium-long finish, where the hops get a little metallic at times. lemonlovr (187), Lockport, Illinois, USA
| 1.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 1/5 | 5/20 | Oct 7, 2003 Aroma stinks of rotten apples or some other miscellaneous fruit. Really awful and I'm not exaggerating. The appearance is an ugly yellow with little head. The taste is blannd up frong and downright nasty on the way down. The aftertaste is particularly unappealing - not repulsive, but certainly not great. The palate is nearly nonexistant. Other than the taste, I can't tell this stuff is in my mouth when I drink it. Not good at all, don't try this if you're expecgint a decent lager. PrinceofNessus (236), Westminster, Colorado, USA
| 1.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Oct 7, 2003 Ok I gotta be honest.... beer in a bag guys... better value. transparent yellow, smell of souring apples and pears... not in a nice sour belgian ale way either.... more like a rotting skunk in the basement sour.... The taste is thin with bad malt and crappy hops... please get it away.... the more i drink the less I like it. bitter gagging finish... cant finish it... possible drain pour imminent... no im irish, ill finish it. ¾ (5009), Boulder, Colorado, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 7, 2003 Clear yellow. Smells like nasty apple-malt syrup, like a brew which wasn't done brewing yet, brought out of the brewing equipment too soon. Smells like rotting apricots. Thin and light, the taste is not as offending as the smell, but it's still bad. Just a light wheat and grapes and vegetables, but the smell kills it... just plain awful. thedm (3836), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Sep 26, 2003 This brew poured a large head of foamy finely sized off-white colored bubbles that left behind a fair lacing and a transparent straw yellow colored body. The aroma is a standard malt nop one and the mouthfeel is initially smooth with no bite and a bit of thickness in the finish. The flavor is malty with very mild hops and a bit of a lingering bitterness. Slick (1962), Thief River Falls, Minnesota, USA
