| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 12, 2007 Bottle shared with Hogtown Harry and MDS, my bottle courtesy of my buddy who brought it back from England. Pleasant grainy aroma. Dark orange, rusty copper, small white head - looks really good. Neat taste: malt, odd grain like quality - like drinking 12 Grain bread. Nice sweetness to round it out. Bottle tasted surprisingly fresh after a long trip and a few months in storage. A neat lighter ale! Rictus (126), Camdenton, Missouri, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 9, 2007 Floral, grassy, aroma. Copper with a quickly diminishing head. Nice balanced hoppy taste. Alittle bready. Palate is average all around. We need a less boring organic ale. JoeMcPhee (5000), Jackson Heights, New York, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 8, 2007 500 ml bottle. Clear orange-amber beer with a white head. Aroma is quite leafy with orange marmalade notes and a soft earthy character as well. There is a bit of cherry and a touch of celery as well. Lovely malt character. Very British tasting (perhaps unsurprisingly). Flavour also shows soft leafy hoppiness behind the sweet pale malt. Decent brew. Brewosk (137), Illinois, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 6, 2007 Some citrus orange flavor. Nice amber orange color. Fruity hoppiness with interesting peppery bitterness. Organic, from a bottle, 16.9 ounces at Woodman’s. Cletus (5052), Connecticut, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 1, 2007 Pours copper with a thin ring of white bubbles. Smells of citrus, earthy tea and pepper. Tastes of oranges and aspirin with a tangy finish. faroeviking (6023), Republica Vikingo de las, Faroe Islands
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 24, 2007 Bottle. Pours a nice amber colour with a small mostly diminishing creamy off-whitish head leaving a decent lacing. Aroma of toastymalt, caramel, good fruitiness. Flavour of fruity hops, some caramel, toasted malt, barley, some citrus. Pleasant bitterness in the finish. 5000 (2409), Hardened Liver, Washington, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 23, 2007 Bottle: Hazy amber, dark, moderate to large fluffy sand colored head, patchy lacing.   Pale malt nose, even softer hop presense   Seems to be a very slight foral/herbal aspect.   Some biscuit, dull plant like flavors as well.   Maybe like those indoor cactus plants.   Soft malts, Marris otter maybe?   Moderate body and mouthfeel.   Fairly clean finish, soft biscuit lingers.   Enjoyable.

| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Mar 6, 2007 500 ML Bottle-Poured a cloudy amber color w/a slight head. Floral hopped aroma. Stale bread dough/yeast flavor w/a creamy texture I didn’t find too appealing. Didn’t find this to have much of a hop flavor, maybe the barley was just too strong & overpowered it. Did have a little bit of a bitter finish but it wasn’t enough to save this one, didn’t taste nearly as good as it looked. I wouldn’t drink it again.
