| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jun 11, 2007 I got this in a four-pack of historic Scottish beers, which was just too much for me to resist. Aroma is strong, malty, and very pleasant. It pours out an orange-amber, rather than yellowish or brownish, with a thick head. Taste is a tad thin, but pleasantly malty with a nice bitter kick. A refreshing and smooth ale - I can see, or rather taste, why it has lasted for four millennia. Heathen (810), Riverside, New Jersey, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Dec 28, 2007 THOUGHTS: Had this one skunked about a year ago so I never rated it. Fresh, it is a much different beer. It was definitely better fresh, but of the four varieties that I had skunked in a variety four pack, this one was hurt by the skunking the least. What I mean is. That the beer didn’t taste, look or smell anything like what it was supposed to, but the beer created by the skunking was still a drinkable beer.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a clear, medium gold with a small, white head that mostly diminished and left virtually no head. The aroma was light malt, some flower, perfume, herbs, and grass (but not like those found in hops) and even more herbs. The initial flavor was moderately sweet, while the finish was moderately sweet, lightly bitter and very lightly sour like lemons with an average duration. The flavor was very herbal and a little lemony. The light to medium body was slightly dry, but a little syrupy with fizzy carbonation and a dry finish. screwball (802), Motala, Sweden

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Aug 15, 2007 Bottle-Cloudy amber color w/a white head. Sweet floral aroma. Sweet malt flavor of fruit w/some traces of pine, grass, honey, & peat. Dry finish. Drinkable, but unspectacular. Just not much to it. wyzzywyz22 (795), Wirral, Merseyside, England

Fruity fragrant aroma. Smooth mouthfeel. Flavour was on the sweet side with vague herb, spice and malt notes. Didn’t think I was going to like this, but its not bad at all. vanvenlo (794), Glen Iris, Australia

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 20, 2008 Light, straw body with a medium malt body that is suprisingly rich and full of character. Some sweet fruit essence. Slightly grassy and flowery with a nice sweet finish. Suprisingly refreshing and satisfying. As always, like the bottle art - adds to the experience.
