| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 4, 2004 Bright and glowing golden hazy appearance with a beautiful full white head. Aroma is a straw and grain sour experience... flavor is a thick and zesty mixture of white grapes, pears, lemon, bread and some yeast. Quite thick in the mouth but still feels light. Bit of a rotten pear flavor loses some points. Silphium (2139), Haslett, Michigan, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 8, 2004 Pours cloudy orange with a medium off-white head. Banana and orange aroma. Flavor is sharp and citrusy, with lemon, orange, and a touch of banana mingling with white grape and perhaps plum. This beer does have a yeasty cookie dough aspect. Although the palate is a bit acidic and sharp for my tastes, overall this is a good beer. matta (1139), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 22, 2004 Pours with a fine hazy bronzy body and a soft downy head. The aroma brings forth notes of sweet honey, blossoming jasmine, and a fruity suggestion of plum. The flavor is all the same, but with more yeasty doughy notes, WAY more Plum… and lots of it… and ye-vast (in pirate talk) sweet honey and a little barnyard accompaniment. The palate is silky.. a very delicious Blond Ale! Sven (229), Lancaster, California, USA

The aroma is spicy with some orange and honey along with some pilsner notes and hoppy notes. The flavor is has some sour plums and some light hops. The finish is sharp and sour, not refreshing. Rotten fruit and oversweet malts mix with too much carbonation. Sham (1846), Seattle, Washington, USA
