| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Apr 24, 2007 The most beautiful deep clear amber orange body with a big bubbled lasting beige head; Very fine and elegant well developed mature nose, quite a bit of woody, horsey apple-like Brett aromas backed by fruity notes of dry Sherry; Small amount of pleasant sharp carbonation on soft textured body, very balanced, deep and complex, fresh salty and slightly sour; It evolves into a big and very long finish, again as complex and well developed as it gets, the salty sourness stands out pleasantly and lasts forever, with lots of ripe and green apple sour aromas and sherry like wood notes. What a very, very great beer, one of the finest and most elegant I ever had - Thanks a billion to Kramer17801! UnionMade (621), Connecticut, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Dec 29, 2002 Very nice. Very wine like in texture and mouthfeel. Deep umber color, with no head at all. No carbonation. Strong alcohol aroma, with a bit of roast. Very smooth finish, malt and hops are indistinguishable it’s so well balanced. A perfect beer if you’re into this stuff.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Mar 2, 2004 Bottle. When poured, this beer formed a small sized tan head with fine-small sized bubbles that quickly dissipated. The body was hazy, carbonated with a somewhat copper hue. The nose was sweet, spicy and definitely alcohol. The flavor was caramel and alcohol tasting. The mouthfeel was tingly and this was a medium bodied beer with sparse lacing.

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 10, 2004 Hazy orange brown. Usual GGC sour, woody, alcohol nose. Sweet, raisons, toffee, butterscotch, vanilla, cherry, great woodiness all the way through. Signature Gale's sweet sour woody finish, lightly hopped. I am ever impressed with brews from this producer. MikeF (528), Cleveland, Ohio, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 10, 2003 Draft: Brownish red in color, with a thick head. Alcohol definitely present in the aroma, with an almost champaign-like aroma. Flavor is fruity, slightly sweet, smooth, with a clean finish. Rather like red wine. Pretty carbonated.
