| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jul 20, 2007 (bottle) Clear, amber colour with a medium-sized, lacing, slightly tanned foamy head. Aromatic, slightly sweet and toasted malty aroma with fruity notes of citrus and berries, zesty spices and flowery hops in the background. Moderately bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a soft mouthfeel. Slightly toasty, malt-based taste with a well-rounded citrousy hoppy blend. Dry and moderately bitter and fruity finish with floral hops. Pleasant and easy-going Ale. JoeMcPhee (5025), Jackson Heights, New York, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Mar 4, 2004 Light amber colour with a thin white head. Spicy malt nose, with some caramel and faint hoppy aroma. Flavour has good malt, a spicy hop profile with a long bitter finish. Good, but not great. yngwie (5000), Kristiansand, Norway
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 24, 2008 Bottle. A clear, golden pour with a small off-white head on top. Quite weak on the nose, but pleasant, bready and malty aromas takes up most of the space, and it is a beer that needs to sink in, as it gets more and more pleasant as it is drank. The flavor is on the malty side as well, toasted and caramelly, with just enough fruityness and bitterness to make it sessionable. Full body and a lingering hop-bitterness and toasty flavor in the finish. Sure a repeatable beer. It starts off a bit boring, but it doesn’t finish that way. (080112) ¾ (4999), Colorado, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Feb 20, 2003 Head is quite small, with large bubbles. Aroma is of honey and amaretto; maybe a little peach or other fruit. Feel inside the mouth goes as follows: 1)sweet, 2)then tart and strong, 3)then mellow and tart, and 4)finally theres this awful aftertaste of lemon tea. Overall too thin, and not nearly enough bitterness to satisfy me. Cornfield (4972), Oak Forest, Illinois, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 17, 2004 A nice amber color with light carbonation and a rapidly dissipating whit head... I enjoyed this beer. The sweet, fruity aroma wasn’t overpowering and didn’t cover over the malty flavor. Highly drinkable. JPDIPSO (4932), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 8, 2003 Nice amber with a dense beige head. Malty aroma with a hint of floral hops. Nutty malt flavors balanced by a crisp hop bitterness. Touch of yeast. Soothing bitter ale. jbrus (4895), Delft, Netherlands
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 19, 2004 Caramel aroma with a little butter. Amber color, off-white head, good lace. Light sweet, light caramel, light hops, bit neutral, little dry. Not complex or exceptional but nice to drink. BückDich (4857), McCall, Idaho, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 3, 2003 Light hops smell, mild pour with a little head. Nothing very complex in the flavor, not unique. I’ll pass on this one in the future.
