| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 30, 2009 Awesome session pale with well done oakiness. Smooth and fullbodied. Sweet floral hop finish. Lovely and interesting, the oak adds a new layer on an otherwise great base beer. I think I’ll stick with that base though, no need to get in the way of that pale ale.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Oct 24, 2009 12oz draft Brouwer’s. Copper golden color with tight head and a touch of lacing. Sweet aromatic pineapple citrus nose, smells nice. Light body, kind of astringent not much malt and I do get some different wood notes. Kind of dries it out in the finish really. Really impressed with the nose. riversideAK (2803), Shoreline, Washington, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 19, 2009 On tap at Fremont. Oaked version of the regular Universale. Also Dry Hopped allegedly. Pours golden amber, decent foam on top. The aroma is nice and hoppy. Floral and citrus, a hint of caramel. Nice hoppy nose. Light wood, and a hint of vanilla. Oak is stronger in the flavor. The base beer - a nice hoppy pale ale - decent assertive hop bite - floral and citrus mostly. Lightly earthy. Soft oaked flavor - dry wood and a hint of vanilla sweetness. Nice assertive bitterness in the finish along with a great dry aspect added by the oak. Once again another solid offering by Fremont which is becoming one of m favorites in the area rather quickly. A cool place too.
