Nov 6, 2003 Bright orangey-amber; aroma is a mix of allspice & caramel. Fairly alcoholic palate, with fruity notes and the odd bit of caramel and earth. Decent brew, but why is this their smash hit?

Oct 28, 2007 Orange-cloured beer with a light off-white head. Pretty mineral, rather clean. Its bitter finish shows up rather swiftly and unexpectedly. Leafy, spicy palate. Stoney, apricot notes and mild earthiness complete the portrait. Dry palate. Nothing very special about this one.
hopdog (4779), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA
Sep 24, 2006 12oz bottle labeled best before S 07. Poured a deeper copper color with an averaged sized off white head. Aromas of toasted malts, caramel with light chocolate in the background. Tastes of toasted malts, chocolate (stronger than the aromas), light caramel, and citrus.
