| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 9, 2007 22oz. bottle. Fruity, mildly sweet aroma, some honeyed golden apple, pear and floral notes, combined with a lightly dusty, doughy and earthy yeast character. Clear light golden in color with a lasting, bubbly head. Flavor is comprised of some pale malt sweetness up front, followed by a blend of spicy, peppery bitterness, herbal hop flavor and some mild bubblegum and melon easters, finishing up with a drying acidity, some lemon citrus and a faintly alcoholic presence. Mouthfeel is clean, soft and effervescent, with a medium-full body. Held my interest. jbrus (4895), Delft, Netherlands

Soft cotton candy and citrus perfume nose rides soft peppery herbal tones. Hints of yeast at room temp. Lightly spiced candy flavors round to a soft earthy hop note. Light to medium bodied, medium carbonation, soft bittersweet finish. Drinkable, but definitely not GD’s best effort...
