| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | 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
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | 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 (1036), Turku; Pori, Finland
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | 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. TearsforBeers (172), Ohio, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 10/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 16/20 | Nov 1, 2008 Aroma - This is the best smelling beer I’ve ever encountered. Other beers smell good, but this one is unique and glorious. It smells like the spices in sausage, flowers, evergreens, most of all, like Thomas Hardy’s Egdon Heath.
Appearance - clear pumpkin with moderate white head
taste - pine, heath, slightly bitter, bitterness similar to hops, but with more warmth on the back of the tongue
palate - thin, watery

| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Oct 30, 2008 bottled, poured dark yellow with medium white head, very light aroma...nothing stands out, very light malt aroma, watery palate, again nothing really standing out daknole (2882), Plantation, Florida, USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 3/5 | 6/20 | Oct 18, 2008 Yuck. Cloudy gold color. Aroma is very weak and not interesting. I know they used some cool ingredients in this one, but it doesnt smell or taste like it. Flavor is very boring and I don’t find it pleasant. Taste is grainy and odd and just poor. illidurit (872), Santa Cruz, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 17, 2008 500 mL bottle poured into a mug. Slightly hazed goldenrod color with a very weak off-white head. Even with vigor this beer produces hardly any foam, and what little is there collapses within a minute.
Aroma strikes of rosemary and doughy malt. Reminds me precisely of rosemary sourdough bread dipped in olive oil.
Lightly malty with a honey sweetness and a dose of semi-bitter rosemary. Well-balanced.
Carbonation is moderate, body is medium-thin, finish is bone dry and short.
Quite drinkable but lacks complexity and doesn’t keep my interest very long. Rciesla (3565), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 14, 2008 Wow crazy artwork, are they compensating? Pours a hazy golden body with a big floral aroma. Some burnt malt, spice of pepper and cinnamon, and the floral herbal finish playing a huge role. Something different but not for me.
