| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 24, 2005 Amber colour with a slight haze and a small off white head. Fruity sweet aroma with a herbal touch. Sweet malty flavor with lots of pine notes. Not that interesting. FROTHINGSLOSH (2036), GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 23, 2005 Updated: Aug 26, 2007This is the only time I have had this beer. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy bronze color with a small tan head. The aroma is very odd - sweet and piney. The flavor is thick sweet malt and a strange piney element as well. Sweet smooth pine sol. yalnikim (782), Wellington, New Zealand
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Apr 14, 2005 Tasted 01/04/2005. 330ml bottle from Rumble’s, Wellington.
Pours an orange hued amber with an off white, filmy, oily looking, head. Looks remarkably like glass of tea. Aroma is punchy and very reminiscent of maple syrup. The pine comes through in a reinous aroma. Flavour is as you’d expect from that strong aroma - maple syrup and pine resin. There’s also a woody bitterness, from the tannin I guess, that is similar to fuggles. Palate is the piney resin. Becomes warming, almost whiskey-like, as I get through it. A little cloying. Didn’t quite do it for me but it’s certainly interesting. Magjayran (1379), Durham, North Carolina, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 13, 2005 Pours a medium orange color. Thin head with large bubbles. Very sweet aroma with hints of malts. Not really a very piney scent. Fantastic flavor. Hints of sweet berries with some pine. Low carbonation which I think is best for an ale like this. Surprisingly good beer. I wish I could get more. FezMonkey (268), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 9, 2005 Cloudy orange color with a thick head and malt aroma. Flavor of berries and malt. It is medium bodied and leaves a nice aftertaste. tupalev (2618), Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 7, 2005 Bottle, giftpack purchased Christmas 2004 but sampled April 2005 (Oct 05 Best Before). Very dark orange with lots of floating sediment. Creamy white head that faded quickly. Strong alcohol and sweetness in aroma (sorry, no pine). Medium body mouthfeel but wow, lots of flavour that I was just not expecting! Lots of alcohol and sweetness and first and then a wonderful fruity aftertaste. Very slight bitterness but not much. A very enjoyable brew, I’m glad I rediscovered this giftpack I first tried years ago.
