polomagnifico (532), Saginaw, Michigan, USA Nov 27, 2008 Bottle. Aroma has notes of honey, flowers, pear and fresh white meat fruits and a little peat. Medium orange amber hue with a small mostly diminishing head that left little lace. Flavor is sweet and herbal with an average finish. Palate is light bodied and watery flat. Different and not all together bad but it does have a good story. daniele (1640), Italy Nov 21, 2008 ambrata buona schiouma piuttosto persistente note erbacee maltate spezia in bocca malto spezie erbaceo un tocco di dolce tlind2 (560), Helsinki, Finland Nov 21, 2008 500 ml bottle.

The taste is sweet and mildly spicy it is a touch on the watery side
Pretty good for a 4008 year old beer
jimhilt (1663), Bow, New Hampshire, USA Nov 20, 2008 Pours a one finger white head that fades quickly to a thin layer leaving some lace. Hazy amber color. Mellow sweet nose. Light carbonation and medium bodied. Flavor is sweet, doughy and mellow. Better flavor as it warms. $4.10 for a 500ml bottle from Tully’s Beer & Wine Wells, Me.
DrDavid (957), Johnson, Vermont, USA Nov 20, 2008 (Bottle). Sweet honey aroma. Hazy golden body, small white head. Flavor is different, as should be expected. Honey, earthiness, well balanced. Mild but flavorful. A nice brew. CaryTheDude (1113), Longmont, Colorado, USA Nov 19, 2008 Crushed with Jakebra. This is a total Fraoch of a beer. Honey or something (heather?) on the nose or something. Fruity, sweet flavor and gives a nice, dry finish. Pretty aight. austone (998), Turku; Pori, Finland Nov 16, 2008 Sparkling copper, foaming soapy pale head. Slightly metallic, pizza dough-like aroma, reminds me of a martini, mild funky sourness, feels quite thin. Same funk in the flavor, along with peppery herbs, little metallic maltiness. Lingering herbal & toffeeish finish. Light bodied, average bulky palate. Sourish and light brew, but manages to be somewhat interesting. I had a small piece of flora in my bottle, so I guess that could have caused some of that funk.
