| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 5, 2007 Aroma of spice and malt. Slightly hazy amber color with a whitish head that didn’t stick. Medium in body with mild, creamy carbonation. The flavor is roasted caramel, touch of kiwi fruit, very little hop bitter. It has a somewhat astringent finish. Some bitter builds along the edge of the tongue. Maybe this is some sort of citrus/floral hop. Nice enough to drink. Very smooth. Maybe a light touch of sour or herb in it somewhere. Not sure what to make of it. So I’ll just drink it. Snojerk321 (2020), San Diego, California, USA

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Oct 6, 2007 Twice a year brew, so I am guessing this is a relatively fresh bottle purchased from BevMo in Vacaville, CA. SPicy, metallic, grainy nose with some butterscotchy diacetyl notes present in the nose. A bit floral and a bit husky, too. A very nice orange-copper body that is transparent. Has a nice fluffy off-yellowish head that leaves delightful lacing. An attractive beer. A fruity to start with...some strawberry-like flavors, which become very sweet, quite cloying, and full of buttery diacetyl. Finishes with just a touch of metallic and grassy hops. I know that this is to style, but the diacetyl is just a bit much for me. The weird fruitiness early in the flavor is also awkward.
