| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 22, 2008 Pours a very transparent caramel color, qith quickly diminishing white head. Absolutely no lacing. Nose is grassy hops, mild esters, some wet paper maybe. Flavor is pretty mild with watery body, though it kind of makes for a pleasant gulper. Slight sweet esters in the middle with a grassy finish. Pretty drinkable and definately different. thornecb (1817), Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA

Head is initially small, frothy/fizzy, off-white, mostly diminishing.
Body is clear dark yellow.
Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (toasted grain/bread, cookie), lightly hoppy (herbs, flowers), with a note of honey.
Flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly bitter.
Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly to moderately bitter.
Medium body, watery/syrupy texture, lively carbonation.
Very honeyish aroma...pleasant but admittedly not much like an APA. Unrelenting sweetness makes it a bit hard to drink...again, not much like an APA. With some minor repairs this could be really nice. barleyPops (1081), Quad-Cities, Illinois, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 11, 2008 12 oz. bottle from heemer77, thanks Eric. pours a pale golden yellow with a short-lived white head, fading to just a wisp of lace. aroma is strangely spicy with some mint leaves and herbs I can’t put my finger on. flavor is a bit grassy with some malt lurking in the background as well as some of the previously mentioned mint and herbs. a bit unusual, but not bad by any means.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 5, 2008 Picked up a single 12-oz bottle at John’s Market Place in Portland, Oregon. Pours a clear golden pale brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissipates to a fine film and ring. Aroma of mostly hefeweizen character with scents of light caramel, banana esters, a touch of cloves and some sweet corn. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonated with flavors of multi-grain malt with wheat, some banana esters, and a touch of floral hops. Finish is semi-sweet with a caramel and fruity flavor. Not much in pine or grapefruit but now I use this as a standard for South American Pale Ale. SuperDave70 (1158), Beautiful Sunny Mesa, Arizona, USA
