| 1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 1/10 | 1/5 | 4/20 | Feb 15, 2006 Draught at the brewpub. Dark amber. Extremely fruity. Pineapple and cleaning agents jumps in my face. Sweet with raw, mellow mouthfeel. A sharp chemical vegetable finish leaves a burning sensation in the mouth. Oakes (8139), Kowloon, Hong Kong
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 21, 2006 Dark amber colour and reasonably rich, slightly earthy malt aroma. Has a slightly chewy note, with breadcrusty finish. Could use some hop attack for authenticity’s sake. This is really just an amber. duff (5475), Surrey, Greater London, England

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 22, 2002 Updated: Mar 14, 2003I've had this beer from two different batches and both were completely different. The first batch, it was a nice alt -- clean, crisp, nice malty undertones, medium bitterness, very drinkable. The second batch, it was a little funky, yeasty, not at all clean and crisp, cloudy, and malty. I"ll give it the benefit of the doubt and base my numerical ratings on the first batch. I"d definitely try it again, simply because the first batch was quite nice. Hopefully the second batch just tasted funky because of infection or process problems and not because they changed the recipe.
Update 3/14/2003: Third batch I've drank from. This one is good again. Quite crisp. Nice underlying bitterness although a bit subdued. I'd be happy to see this a bit maltier with a bit more bitterness but it's nice.
