| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 21, 2004 Updated: Nov 28, 2004Good sized creamy white head that left some terrific lacing. The colour is a pleasent golden yellow that has a bit of amber in it. It’s very carbonated. The aroma was malty, but not very distinctive. This is very tasty. There’s a hint of hops, but TONs of malt. It tingles nicely on my tounge and has a sticky creamy mouthfeel. There’s a bit of an alcohol aftertaste but is managable. Very flavourful and easy to drink. burcusabrews (106), St. Louis Park, Minnesota, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 9, 2004 Appearance: bright and transparent reddish hue, with a big, fresh, fluffy head.
Aroma is sweet, a bit fruity, and fierce: alcohol, though not major, is still sitting tall on top and evident in the nose.
Taste: BAM! Shammalamma, boom! Sh-bam! Tiny hops, Big, muth*&^%in’ malt all up in y’alls mouth! Mouth-filling texture, though overall the body is light. It’s just that big, fat flavor, tasty, lip-smackin’, delicious. Big, wonderful flavor stands out always, rings through the senses, congratulates you for consuming it.
If you’re craving a beer from Wisconsin, this had better be the one. We’ll be screening any excuses for other options, but it’s a strict judge and jury. Really, this is the stuff!

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 28, 2004 Light amber color,medium short lived head.Aroma was of mild malt with hints of candied fruit. Flavor was basically the same. Nice warming effect.Nice mouthfeel,slightly sticky.Good but nothing complex.
Perhaps the fact I drank this at cellar temp instead of cold had something to do with it. I’ll do an add on if need be after a cold one. Mangino (1027), Mississippi, USA
