| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 1/5 | 10/20 | Jan 11, 2004 Pours a transparent copper/amber color with a small 1.0 cm white head that vanishes fast. Aroma is malty with maybe a hint of hopes. Pine cented. Start is very carbonated, middle is hoppy, finish is bitter. Body is thin under the taste. Tastes good, but the mouth feel is way off.

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 8/20 | Nov 19, 2003 Light clear orange, good head. Aroma mostly of biscuity malt, but faint. Gentle hops and malts balance out. But I agree with Oakes, something may be up with the yeast, as there was a very faint funk going on here. Will re-rate in the future, as this used to be a favorite. hopscotch (5537), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 4, 2003 Very pretty, sparkling clear amber ale. Starts off with a really big, fizzy, off-white head. Ends up as a lasting, small, creamy head.
The nose is malty with some very light chocolate and fruitcake notes.
The flavor is well-balanced, but a touch odd. Not unpleasant, just odd... almost like formaldehyde. Well-bittered. Astringent.
Light-bodied with a watery mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Short, crisp, clean finish. Decent ale. Definitely doubles as a preservative. Keep a bottle handy to pump into the veins of a deceased loved one. desurfer (1068), Pinellas Park, Florida, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 24, 2003 Amber body, no head. Resiny aroma. Kinda weak flavor, some hops but not what I expected. Mild finish. sloth (1681), Ceciltucky, Co., Maryland, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 5, 2003 Small tan head, short lived, some lacing. Clear amber color. More malt than hops in the nose, slightly musty. Med/light body. Clean malt flavor, ok hop bitterness. Finish is dry, kinda blah.
