| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jan 31, 2006 I found this one profoundly blah. I’m not sure what the problem was because in my glass it looked incredible. I could barely notice any sort of armoa, but what I did whiff was malt and some chocolate. Taste was flat in my mouth, with very little action. I felt this one was a "purgatory" brew meaning it fell somewhere between a dark and a wheat but had neither of the sharp characteristics that you’d expect from those types. I was really unimpressed with this, and probably will not try again. Too bad, because this one looked like a great one. Guess we can all get fooled now and then. douglas88 (1661), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 29, 2007 .5 liter bottle. Pours a dark brown with a small fizzy white head. The body is quite thin and smooth. The taste is quite like a hefe-weizen, but not citrusy or sweet. A strong wheat flavor with some roasted malt and cocco. Really drinkable and nice.
