| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 12, 2009 11.2 oz bottle. Pours a slightly hazed orange-bronze body with a finger-width, off-white head that dissipates quickly and leaves a light lacing. Aroma is malty with sweet, honey flowers and a light peaty must. A touch of lemon and vanilla too. Flavor is soft and full malts up front with a nice, flowery honey sweetness. A light lemon, vanilla, and buttery maltiness too. Finishes with a prominently spiced, peaty earth and a sweet honey-citric maltiness that lingers for a good amount of time. Medium bodied, silky smooth, and dry. Overall, a tasty, sweet honey spiced beer. The flavors are integrated really nicely and offer a crisp, tasty ale. Solid. fakepurseninja (797), Washington, USA
| 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. vanvenlo (794), Glen Iris, Australia

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 27, 2007 Bottle. Deep orange with a patchy head. Aroma is sweet citrus with a touch of pine. Flavor is sourish with a very unique resiny tinge. Really different and enjoyable. Thick and full-bodied. NJBeerman013 (786), Trenton, New Jersey, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 5, 2003 This beer could be likened to a dry white wine. I am not sure if it wasnt brewed with herbs/spices or if it was hops. Very floral in aroma and flavor. A very interesting beer to say the least. Also, very enjoyable. Structurally, the head was soft and foamy, the body crisp and clear and finish was sweet. A very well crafted beer that I wish was more accessable. yalnikim (785), Wellington, New Zealand
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 14, 2005 Tasted 01/04/2005. 500ml bottle from Rumble’s, Wellington.
Pours a brilliant golden amber with the faintest red hue. A puffy pure white head sits atop and beckons my nose into the glass. Before long the head is gone. The nose is a soft boquet of honey and grass with a slight mineral hint. The medium mouthfeel delivers a strong malt flavour with a touch of earthy grassiness. Finishes surprisingly clean. Very moreish... beervana (781), Libertyville, Illinois, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/20 | Dec 7, 2005 500 mL brown bottle purchased from Home Service Beer Beverage Discount Center, Glenview, NY. Bottled dated 10/05 and consumed expired beer on 11/05. Hazy light brown ale having no discernable head. Light carbonation. Light sweet malt aroma. Light-to-medium bodied ale that starts with a light sweet malt and honey flavors. Finishes with light dryness and bitterness. Though expired, no off-flavors detected. A rather thin and watery bland tasting beer that resembles a mead. Bradrcr (781), Renton, Washington, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 29, 2007 From the bottle. Aroma is sweet with caramel malt forward with light roast tones and some heather. Appearance is light gold with a persistant white head. Flavor is sweet malt with herb tones forward followed by some slight sour and tart flavors. Mouthfeel is medium/light bodied with good creaminess and even a creamy finish. Overall, very good, well made and not too sweet for such an old style. The sourness even works as a fairly good compliment.
