| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 7, 2006 Slight gushing to rather small, yellowish fine head over fully hazy orange amber beer. Fine combination of citrus (orange mainly), garden herbs, spices (ginger), farmyard odours. Not to mention quite some malts, pale & lightly coloured. Very balanced flavour profile, tilted towards both sweet (cake-ish) and spicey. Yeast esters, more citrus. After some warming up, the sweet flavours become more deeper, refined, like a good brown cane sugar, but also licorice. Quite burning MF, both from the spicy yeast, as from the present alcohol. A great start for a beery weekend. So far, and seen their sorry closure, finally among the best from Heavyweight IMO. Shame, I could live with this.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 6, 2006 Poured a hazy dark yellow color with a quickly disappearing off-white head. Caramel malty aroma with something odd mixed in. Some tart notes in the aroma also with a hint of incense. Malty sweet caramel flavor and a fizzy mouthfeel.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 19, 2006 750ml Bottle. Very strong aroma with a slightly strong alcohol presence blending well with many spices. Full foamy head, clear amber color, very pale. Very bready flavor with many spices mixing in. Almost sour at first but becomes a very nice beer. lukin013 (211), Columbia, Maryland, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 18, 2006 Bottle was a gusher despite having not moved in my fridge for a couple months. Poured a straw yellow with a large white head that lasted and laced the glass nicely. Aroma was a complex mix of floral hops and spices. Good medium body went down very easy. Flavor is very complex... yeast, spice, bread, citrus. Very enjoyable... would definitely drink again. SoLan (1426), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 15, 2006 Hazy dark amber. Large, lively, soda like off white top. Musty nose of yeast, soft malt, and earthy hops. Flavor adds sweet and toasty caramel, touch of spiciness, and lightly fruity bread. Very nice. Medium/full body, balanced - bubbly yet soft. Excellent. This bottle courtesy boboski, one more in the stash courtesy of the jolly fat man in the red suit. Beerdedone (1885), Croydon, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 14, 2006 Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. Pours hazy amber with a beige head. Aroma of citrus, fruit, sweetness, and spices. Flavor is sweet, fruit, citrus, and carbonation. Not bad for a style i don’t care for. TomDecapolis (3188), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 12, 2006 Pours a hazy orange amber with an average bubbly off white head that sustained and laced. Aroma of a sweet fruity maltiness, yeast, various spices, and bread. The fruits in the aroma were varied everything from peach, to prunes to apples I was picking up a bouqet of various fruits. Flavor of caramel, yeast, bread, still the various fruits and some hints of pepper. Carbonation if lively on the tongue. A very nice beer...too bad it is gone.
