| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 5, 2008 Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX. Pours a nice looking clear gold with white fizzy head. Nice aroma, some citris and I think a little bannana, and malt. Flavor much the same as aroma...nice....Mouthfeel is light body and high carbonation....Overall, this hides the alcohol well for what it is and is pretty tasty.....Would make a good session beer as well, except I think you would be wasted before you knew it.....Good stuff...

Aroma is slightly citrus, slightly estery and pleasant. Light to medium body with good carbonation. Rich complex taste (malt, esters, banana) yet refreshing. Some bitterness in finish. Overall a well balanced beer: refreshing yet complex and quite rich.

| 1.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 5/20 | Oct 1, 2008 Sweet and sickly with a nasty after taste of cloves. Really, I don’t know why this is so highly regarded. Each to his/her own, I suppose, but whether on draught or bottle it’s always had that horrible, back-of-the-throat, overpowering, clove nastiness. How can the people who produce this also produce the wonderful Brune? Still, it’ll never get minimum marks from me while Carlsberg’s being brewed... Jsawyer (287), Glenside, Pennsylvania, USA
