| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 29, 2009 Bottle (750ml). At Cole’s Rare Beer Fest, January 2009. I liked this beer well enough, but it seemed pretty run-of-the-mill for LA. Anyway. Clear gold pour with a small white lasting head. Sweetly floral, dry aroma - more yeast and spice sharpness to the flavour, but still quite lightly sweet, with some grassy bitterness added - it seemed like a sticky bier de garde. "Sticky" really does describe the mouthfeel, light-bodied, mostly floral sweet, but the aftertaste is oddly bitter --- again, a decent beer, quite unmemorable by LA standards. kmeves (1080), Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 29, 2009 Pours a hazy orange with a frothy and disappearing off white head. Aroma is medium sweet, nicely spiced, yeasty and citric. Flavor is mild spice, yeasty, doughy malt and light alcohol. Finish is dry and very yeasty. lMedium to full bodied, a very enjoyable beer to share with a coupple friends. jerc (3936), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 28, 2009 2009-01-24. Very lightly hazy pale yellow body with a tiny white head. Modest aroma, light malt, yeast, and alcohol, is surprisingly mild in the nose. Pleasant favour is light on the tongue, modest malts, light hoppy bitterness, hints of florals, light alcohol is prominent but more due to the mild surroundings than its strength. Average plus palate. Fairly average overall impression, nice but just a bit too mild overall to make more of an impression.

Decent white heat that dissipates quickly and leaves a nice lace. Flavor is straw and grass with a sweet finish. Finish is a bit quick too and dry from a well carbonated beer. A bit of orange citrus flavors in there and some peppery spice. Spicy cinnamon aroma. Getting some wild yeast and earth as well. leaparsons (4748), Leicester, Leicestershire, England
