| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 9, 2005 Pours a clear copper colour with a thick creamy head. Faint malt notes. The flavour is mostly bitter hops and crisp carbonation. Fairly average beer. eczematic (1215), Sydney, Australia
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jan 6, 2005 clear copper-orange with a small head. smell is toast/wood/crispbread - ryvita i mean. nothing much in the flavour, nutty flat malt then a strangely soapy, hard, salty finish with some roasty hints and a thin nuttiness. i don’t like the mouthfeel of this but the maltiness is nice enough. actually i poured half of it out not that it was that bad but i just couldn’t get on with it, like you know those sorts of people you wouldn’t actively avoid but are annoying to get stuck talking to cause they just don’t have anything to offer the world stouby (1959), Holbaek, Denmark

Nice colour with off-white head. The taste is bitter of either hops or the wood. Not impressed. HermanW (634), Coevorden, Netherlands

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 15, 2004 Bottle. Slightly sour and strange (soy?) aroma. Brown/reddish colour. Flavour is fruity but definitely not flowery. Nice bitterness. Probably a good session beer. muzzlehatch (4427), Burlington, Vermont, USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Dec 7, 2004 Dec 2004, Swedish dregs, Alts etc tasting w/MartinT, tiggmtl and Rastacouere #10. 500 ml. The beginning of the alts portion of the tasting, and alas not an auspicious one...clear reddish-orange with hints of foam...skunky-vegetal sourish nose does not beckson...bitter off flavors, some malt present amidst the spoiled milk. A poor example, or perhaps just a poor sample bottle? tiggmtl (4312), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Dec 7, 2004 DMS. Pea soup aroma with some spicy floral underlying hops. Copper-amber with thin cover of white head. Pea soup also in the flavour with decent finishing bitterness. Chalky and somewhat thin. Bottle sampled with MartinT, muzzlehatch and Rastacouere.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 16, 2004 Bottle - 500ml. Carbonated amber body topped with a thick and lasting foamy head. Fair malty nose with hoppy (Hallertau) and grainy notes. Taste is goog but unidimensional. It is dominated by hops, and we can barely detect any nuances (maybe some woody, grainy and bready hints). Its long and bitter finish is nice to me. Decent Altbier. Better than most of the products from the Holsten Group.
