| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jan 13, 2004 Blackcurrant aroma, thin head. Usual bitter colour. Lots of blackcurrant in taste but not too sweet or overpowering. I would agree that it has a bit too thin a body, otherwise a nice hop malt balance, a little disapointed though. Could have done better. skortila (2913), Bunnik, Netherlands
