| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 16, 2004 Pours a foamy off-white head on a hazy orange body. Aroma is mostly malty and yeasty but with a strange cheesy tone. Flavor has malt, hops and spices and a bit of currant in the finish. Taste like beer with added vodka currant.....

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Aug 6, 2004 Pours a golden color with a very small head. It immediately has the aroma of fruit.The currant flavor is interesting, which makes for another unique brew by Dogfish Head.... Metalhead (572), Lake Zurich, Illinois, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Jul 31, 2004 Orangey gold color,half finger short lived head. Mildly sweet fruity aroma. Flavor was nothing special and actually a let down considering the brewer. After having my first one I was immediately thinking I should have bought the Leinies Berry Weisse instead.
THAT about says it all. DrunkAsASkunk (847), Lynnwood, Washington, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 18, 2004 Another very good brew from the Dogfish Head brewery. It pours a melange orange color with a slight hint of golden yellow. The head is non-existant, perhaps a slight hint of slithering froth, but really nothing to speak of. The aroma speaks of tiny malts, heavy fruits and a touch of hops and wheaty breadiness. The flavor is an extrancingly sweet and strong citrusy syrup combined with a peppery wooden cork bite that strangles the tongue. Strangely enough, although this beer is astringently sour and heavily sweet, i couldn’t get enough and had to drink more! Overall the carbonation level is well kept in check. Overall a bold taste, but a tad overboard on the sweetness and the citrus...somewhat hard to grasp at first, but got better as it warmed. joeec5 (204), bayonne, New Jersey, USA
