| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 21, 2006 Updated: Nov 21, 2006Beer pours a hazy light gold color with a small, white, creamy-frothy quickly diminishing, mostly lasting head.<P>
The aroma is lightly malty with notes of toasted bread crust; Moderately hoppy with light notes of grapefruit, resin/pine; Heavily yeasty with notes of barnyard, light notes of cellar and horseblanket.<P>
The flavor is heavily bitter, lightly-to-moderately sweet with a long, moderately bitter. Think it’s bitter without being bitter or scrapey<P>
The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is average. papajohn (1055), San Diego (Mira Mesa), California, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Mar 12, 2006 Very foamy from the keg. Sunshine yellow with some cloudiness. Eventually settled to the point where I could enjoy it. Smells fruity and a little doughy. Easy to drink. I detect what I can only describe as Christmas cookie somewhere in the middle. It’s gone too soon but I just have my glass refilled. Svesse (2683), Hässelby, Sweden

Very hoppy, fruity nose with lots of citrus and spices (clove?). Taste is fruity, bitter with more spices (clove again, maybe coriander). Finish is very long, very dry and very bitter. Nice and refreshing. smcd (366), USA
