| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Mar 27, 2009 Clear golden in colour with a large lasting white head, good lacing. The aroma is grassy, herbal, sweet and a bit alcoholic which surprised me. The flavour had lots of perfume in it along with some grassy hops and some sweetness. Sweet mouthfeel, thin body, medium carbonation. Finishes sweet, lingering with some alcohol twang.
Not all that great. It was very sweet and I was surprised by the amount of noticeable alcohol for a 5.5% beer.

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Mar 20, 2009 750ml bottle, likely about a year old. Aroma is very lightly fruity and sweet, fairly slight overall, but featuring some honey, pear and vanilla. Lightly hazy golden yellow color, head is fine, uneven and lasting. Flavor is sweet and gently tart, sugary and very lightly fruity, some very faint spicy hop but no discernible bitterness. Low-moderate effervescence with an oddly thick mouthfeel, body is medium. This did not interest me for long. KAggie97 (2476), Ugly, Hot, and Humid Spring, Texas, USA

Aroma is zesty lemon/lime sugar peel with sweet hay and Sprite. Flavor is uninspired flat, buttery lemon/lime with a lemon tea finish. Average mouthfeel. Flat and dull. unclemike (833), Ft.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 7, 2009 Lightly spicy, grassy, herbal, minty aroma with mild barnyard character apparent. Hazy blonde body is topped by a low but lasting, fine bubbled white head that recedes eventually to cover with some patchy lacing. Grassy herbal hops over fresh clean malt profile with a little bit of funk and spice in the aftertaste. Very dry medium body with moderate carbonation mabel (2626), Toronto, Ontario, Canada

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 27, 2008 2008-09-21. Crisp dark yellow body with a big fluffy white head and light lace. (3+) Mild aroma, lightly yeasty and fruity, bit of alcohol notes in the back. (6+) Flavour is similar, light fruit ans spice with a mild base of pale malts. On the sweet side overall, simple but a decent quaff. Average plus palate adds needed weight to the overall impression. Mildly flavoured, but pleasant.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 4, 2008 Bottle from John’s Marketplace in Portland, OR. Color is slightly orange tinged gold with a decent white head that rapidly collapsed. Light aromas of pale stone fruit and citrus over light caramel/bread. Near medium body with light, fizzy carbonation. Seems a bit slick. Flavor is that light caramel often found in French ales; like Adelscott minus smoke. Finish is lightly sweet malt balanced by a somewhat grassy bitterness. Leaves a sweet and bitter impression. Must be balanced. Very relaxing to drink.
